Does anyone have an Accuquilt Go Cutter? Any comments? Would like it to make charms and jelly roll strips.

Welcome to the board from Indiana! You can use the search feature at the top of the page and just type in Accuquilt. There have been several posts on this wonderful tool! I got one for Christmas and I love it!!!

go to search at the top of page and put in accuquilt go, you will see hundreds of posts about thus

I have one. They save time (and your hand/wrist). Kind of expensive unless you use it a lot, though. I have not used mine a lot, mainly because I didn't have the templates to make the quilts I have been working on this year.

I love mine..

Love mine. I'd buy it again. Someone will post it is too expensive to buy the dies. Maybe! but I have about every die and haven't spent 1/4 of what DH's four wheel ATV cost or his new rifle or his new woodworking table with laser light or his..............I like catching up

I won a Go last year on a shop-hop and it is great! I just wish the dies were a little less expensive. It is great for strips!

I notice they have them now and JoAnn and the dyes go on sale periodically

Hi and welcome to the board from Iowa.

LOL...don't finish or else the husbands will start listing our sewing machines, fabric, long arms.....etc...we'll break even:) anyways i love my go, and started using it a lot. I guess we need some time to get used to it and be creative of how to use it.llaBoo]Love mine. I'd buy it again. Someone will post it is too expensive to buy the dies.

Hello and welcome from WV. I got mine for Christmas, and love it. :thumbup:

I love my GO! I can't say enough good things about it. Here is a link from a post I did of how little waste there is using my strip die. You can't go wrong with a GO, as far as I am concerned.

I have gotten most of my die's at 20 to 30% off, either from a quilt shop or at local shows in Phoenix and Tucson. Mulqueen's is always at those show's and they usually have the die's at 30 or 35% off and a flyer that is good for about 30 days after the shows. You just have to bring it in to the store when you are purchasing the dies.

I love it. I,m not the best at all cutting and the Accuquilt is
so precise.
If you are going to use it all the time it is a great time saver.

I just used mine and was not happy about the strips. It pushed the fabric, made a pleat and a wave in the strips. I will admit it could user error, I may have put in to much fabric. I love the studio version I use at work.

I was thinking of buying one also and i was wondering, does this work right out of the box or will i need to buy dies?

I would be cutting 2 1/2 inch strips.

HAHAHA!! love that reply!

It depends if yours comes with dies or not. I think the best deal going right now is at Nancysnotions.com where you can buy the cutter and it comes with at least three dies, two mats and a project book for $299. Sometimes they have free shipping. Worth checking out.

I seldom cut more the 4 layers at a time, I get perfect results with four layers. If I am cutting one layer I place a piece of thin paper on top of the fabric.
