Yes, the Go Me is a Go Baby - just has a new name. Not sure why, when it was first marketed it came with the Owl die and something else - not sure what all.
Hope you enjoy your -I have the Go and love it.
Also, I highly recommend the Accuquilt storage boxes. They are very sturdy, protect the dies and I put a sticky note on them to label what is in the boxes. For the longer dies I do use the wire holder - but you can get a metal file holder from Office Depot, Walmart, Target or even Goodwill.

I just finished, yesterday, the Apple Core center of a quilt I am doing. I still have to trim and put on my borders. I started on the Tumbler quilt top yesterday and what a breeze compared to the curves of the Apple Core. I will post pictures in the next day or so. I have completed 9 rows since yesterday on the Tumbler Quilt top. It is amazing just how fast you can invest in the dies. Until I use all the dies at least once, or more, I will not be purchasing any more. I am also finding this very handy for scrappy quilts. Cutting the pieces is a breeze.

It is proving to be very handy. I have cut out 2 quilt tops and sewn one and working on another in the time it would have taken me to cut half of a single quilt in either of the designs I have used so far.

Question I have: is the Me! and the Baby one and the same? I think they might be, just a marketing change. It's more versatile then I thought it would be, as you can do a nice-sized square or circle using this cutter. And it definitely isn't so oversize that finding a place for it is tough.

As I mentioned a moment ago I have the 2 1/2" strip cutter on the way. I look forward to putting it to good use. The price was right on the Go! Me at $49.00 So it was a go for me when DH got it for me for the 12th night.

I am not familiar with any of the cutters but was surprised to read you got one for $50, I thought it would be higher. Is it expensive to get into and is there a lot of fabric waste? Cutting out is the part I don’t like about quilting.
