Default Just bought an acuquilt go... yikes!!!

I just spent $200 on an acuquilt go cutter. I soooo hope I don't regret it. My husband talked me into buying it. I work 50+ hours a week so hopefully this will allow me to make more quilts.

Does anybody know if they make a die 1-1/2" squares or do you use the strips then cut them????
Any hints on using it would be great.
Thank you,
Judy

I also bought one this past weekend. I really want to use the strip dies. I have not taken mine out of the box yet.

That's on my Christmas/Birthday list. I can't wait for the 21st and/or 25th. The first new die I get will be the 2 1/2" strip cutter!

I love mine! I use my 2 1/2" strip cutter a-lot. I also used the tumbler block die for my tumbler block terry cloth quilt back. (Don't use terry cloth!) I plan on using the applique dies I have as soon as I get past the projects I have going. (9 or more WIPs going now)

They do make a 1.5" die for the Studio. I'm not sure which machine you have, you can always use the live chat feature and ask an employee on their website.

I've had mine since January; I use it a lot and I love it! I think you will, too!

I just got the baby go, I want to use it for the applique shapes. I hope I'm not going to regret not getting the go-cutter.
