There is a Baby Go now and you can get it for $139.00 and there is a site that has it for less than $100.00 but I cannot locate the information currently. It uses most of the same dyes that the larger one uses.

Those who love them love them, then there are those like me, I used mine once and sold it because it wasted fabric 1/4 inch all around a 2 inch square, you do the math! It also stretched some of the fabrics I was cutting. I purchased an Alto quilt cutter 2 with the proceeds from the go, and LOVE it

I don't own one but my quilt shop just got the baby go and was selling it for 119.00 one day. The regular price is 129. and you can use up to 60% of the dies that are for the big one.

I just got one at the Houston Quilt Show. I forgot how much it was with the cutter and the dies. They had a show special. I haven't had a chance to use it yet with company for the next week. I looked at the new go but it wasn't that much cheaper than getting the full size. It came with a starter set and I ordered the wedding ring -- I have always loved this quilt and I plan to make several of them. The dies are pricey but I found a site that sells them at a 25% discount. I will let you know if it is a worthwhile investment once I get going on it.

I waste more fabric than that making messed up cuts so for me, it's worth it. But if you can cut accurately every time (or almost every time) with a rotary cutter it's probably different. I can't. I mess up at least once for every piece of fabric. :P

i just got mine today. got it from a nice lady on this board. Thank you!! I haven't tried it yet, but plan on playing with it tomorrow.

It also has a double wedding ring die available. I plan on using my Christmas bonus to get that one. I have always wanted to make one, but the thought of all that cutting, so depressing. I've even had the fabric for it for years!!! lol

I love mine. I use it all the time. If you have an A.C. Moore Craft store near you, you can use their coupons on the dies. I use it frequently. I especially love the 2 1/2 strip die.
