I've had mine for a few months and have really liked it. It's been a great plus for me and my cutting! I'm glad you are happy with yours.

I am not interested in cutting pieces to piece. I purchased my GO for the applique dies. It works great for that.

I got one to make rag quilts. I love it so much that I've made three in the last 6 months. Now I want to learn to appliqué so I can use it for that (I've already bought dies)😊

I love my little Go Baby. My main reason to get one was to cut circles. Am making the quilt from Quilts and More called Bubble Up. It has top stitched circles on a foundation block. Easy to do with my Go. I anticipate using it for many quilts in the future.

I just used one for the first time today, and loved it! My LQS has one with several dies and rents it for $5 an hour. It's a very handy tool - and it cuts strips WAY better than I do!

ooo, I wish our LQS did that. I may have to go have a little talk with her ;-) The studio cutter would be a wonderful addition to her shop.

I love mine, too. If all I used it for was cutting strips for binding I would believe it was worth the money! My strips used to look more like a "V" that an straight strip...not any more!!!!

I agree with luvstoquilt, if I only used it for 2 1/2 strips it would be worth the money. I am using the large tumbler block to cut my scraps to make into a tumbler scrap quilt. I also use the 2 1/2 square a lot.

I pre ordered the Go and all the dies available before it was ever on the market. I knew as soon as I read about it I wanted one. This was about seven years ago. The Go and the dies are still working like new. I've used up many mats though. I would buy it again at full price if something happened to it. I haven't found a quilt pattern I want to make that I can't cut with my dies. I just got the Confetti die from my secret pal. I have no idea what I'll do with that one! It is a really unique die.

I LOVE my AccuQuilt too! I saved my husband the stress of looking for a Xmas gift a few years back! LOL!! Someone posted this link yesterday where they have discounted dies: http://diecutyourfabric.com/index.php
After you make your selection scroll to the bottom and select your choice of pmt method (you don't have to provide further info) and it will show you the discount rate. When I tried this yesterday the item I chose had a 30% discount! That's the best I've seen anywhere!
