Accuquilt Go or Go Baby?
 
I’m trying to decide if I should buy one or not and if so which one. Any advice would be truly appreciated. TIA!!

Love my Go BIG--the electric one--cause it keeps me from having achy shoulders and hands. And the accuracy is totally crazy! I help with a beginner class and made up some flying geese using that die, for a block and was trying to show how to trim/square them up and too square! Love it!

I would suggest the Go instead of Baby just because you can use more dies, like the blocks on board with the Go and Go Big but not the Baby.

If you can't afford the Go Big!, I would recommend the Go! instead of the Baby. More options.

Edit: Regarding the question of whether to buy one, it depends. If you have difficulty rotary cutting, the Go! is very helpful. I am okay with rotary cutting but really like my Go! for odd shapes (hexagons, circles, etc.) and triangles. I use some of the applique shapes to cut freezer paper for the turned edge machine applique technique I prefer. The applique shapes also work great for raw edge fused applique. Personally, I prefer my June Tailor Shape Cut for cutting strips, but some people get better results using the Go! strip dies.

I like my Go Baby although I don't use it as much as I thought I would. It is very helpful for cutting perfect circles (wool). The dies are expensive, but you can usually use them in the Go or the Baby. It doesn't take up too much room in my small space. And I like not having to plug it in.

I have the Go but don't use it much--I enjoy cutting out my pieces.

Thank you so much! After reading your replies and talking to my s/o, I’m going to. Get the GO! I found a great deal on the website offering the starter pack with an 8” Qube and some additional dies & mats for $400. S/O said he would pay half. Now I have to wait until payday!! I’m so excited!!!

My sore shoulders love my Go Big. But I just buy the dies I need because they are spendy.

Good for you!! I think you'll like it. I have the GO and really enjoy using it.

Good for you! Enjoy! Let us know how the Qubes are....I'm still debating whether to invest in them or not..

I have the GoBaby ... my first attempt to use it, the fabric was pretty much shredded (forgot about starching first); haven't used it since!
