Has anyone tried this cutter and is it worth the cost? I really have a hard time with triangles, more sewing them together then cutting but could this help my problem?

Hello, and welcome to the board. I haven't tried it yet.

I love my AccuCut GO! It's wonderful and worth every penny!!! :D

(Welcome to board from southern Indiana!)

It could certainly help. You can spray starch two fabrics, place them right side together, iron them, and run them through the Go! using a half-square triangle die. You can stack these doubled fabrics twice (cutting 4 layers at a time). The resulting triangles will be stuck together, ready for sewing, with the corners clipped off for perfect alignment.

Sounds like just what I need. So now all I need to do is tell Santa to open up that wallet because I found my Christmas gift. Thanks everyone!!!

I have the Accuquilt Studio and love it. I cut custom kits for people, though, that's why I have the Studio over the GO!. You might want to join the Yahoo group--at the Yahoo site search the groups for Accuquilt. There are some people who are VERY unhappy with some of the dies.

Is that mittens on the baby's feet in your avatar? How cute! My kids put lots of stuff on their feet, but never mittens. Pretty ingenius, actually. After all, mittens are made to keep our 'digits' warm, and toes are also digits, so why not?

Yes I made the mittens for my granddaughter and one night I get a call to go check my e-mail. This is the picture I found.

They seem to be having these on sale now too :wink: The more accurate the cut the less problem you should have sewing them together :D

I've had the Go as soon as it was available to buy. I love it. The problem some had with the dies was mostly human error but there was a problem with one of the bigger dies and AccuQuilt replaced the defective die that some did get. The main thing to remember is order from a AccuQuilt dealer. One that can replace or return without a hassle. The cost now is way less than what I paid and I would buy it again at the higher price. It's worth it to me. The Go is a personal model and won't cut but four layers accurately, the Studio is for ten or more layers and best for mass cuttings. I love sewing my scraps together and then cutting out a shape and have it all scrappy and cut perfectly. The tumbler die is great for this. I was amazed at the amount of yardage I was tossing in the scrap box. I ordered a few more dies for Christmas for a gift to myself. I always buy myself a gift. :-D

I would love to have one of these. Maybe someday.

AccuCut Go website is having free shipping -- which is a good deal -- for the holiday season.

Got an email from JoAnn's this morning -- BIG sale on AccuCut and accessories -- WRONG! They just marked down their over inflated prices to what you can buy them for anywhere.....

i love my go cutter!! i only have a few of the templates-only bought the templates that i would normally use or the ones that i have trouble cutting. i think it's worth the cash but i would shop around for the cheapest prices of course!!

I have the Accuquilt Go! And really like it. SUPER easy to use and the cuts have been really accurate. Now I'm new to quilting but got this because I didn't trust my rotary cutting ability. My mother has also been using it a lot to make precut squares etc, to sell at church benefits.

Hi and welcome

have you tried this one? http://www.accuquilt.com/GO-Rob-Pete...Set-P3621.aspx is it hard to sew?

I call mine "From me to me":lol: "I always buy myself a gift. "

I also have the Go and love it. I have purchased about 15 dies.I purchased mine used on E-Bay and it came with 3 dies and only paid 100.00 for it. plus shipping. You may wan't to try that. Happy quilting.

have you tried the rob peter to pay paul die yet? its on sale at accuiquilt. i am wondering how hard it is to sew.

I haven't tried this die yet -- but it really looks interesting! I don't know how hard it would be to sew but your pieces would certainly be cut accurately!! :D

If you decide to get it, I'd like to know if you think it is difficult to sew.... :lol:

what joyce said !!

The price this morning was 63.00...boy that did not last long...think I will wait till it goes on sale again. My hubby says I need to use the ones I just got yesterday first. The core, circle, strip die...I also have a tumbler die that my son bought me under the tree....I can't wait to all the company comes and goes so I can play with my new toys....

All our company left after Thgiving, so whatever Santa brings will be in my hands bright & early LOL

.I can't wait to all the company comes and goes so I can play with my new toys....

I do not have that one yet. But am watching one on E-Bay. Alot of those sellers offer free shipping and a lot cheaper price. Will let you know if i get.

I found this die on ebay this morning for $72.99 w/free shipping if anyone is interested....

If you all are looking to sew the Rob Peter to Pay Paul, I have a video that I produced showing you how to sew it together. Once you get all the melons attached, the block is square & you can stitch it with no problem.

No need to be scared of curves - I use my regular 1/4" piecing foot to do them.

Here's the link to the RPPP video:

I ordered mine before Christmas and they were out of stock. I got it on Ebay, I got a good price but I also had an Ebay gift certificate so it was a deal either way for me! It shipped a few days ago, I expect to see it here by Tuesday.

Ebony,
Just watched your video!! Very well put together!! Loved it!
