NOPE, I bought the Big Shot and Big shot pro from Sizzix, and about $500 in dies...both accuquilt and sizzix dies, and the shims, stuff for doing textures/embossing, extended trays and pads, you name it...so far I have about $5,000 in machines and dies, because I also have the orginal Sizzix cutter and an Ellison die cutter as well with dies for both of those! Soon they will need there own closet/room!

I had one and found that I didn't use it as much as I thought I would. So I ended up selling it. For me it was a lot of trouble to have to set it up and then take it down. But that's just me.

I like mine. I am not an avid quilter. I use it for my quilt pieces and for cutting for other stitching as well. I love the 2 1/2 strip cutter and the 5 in square.

here are a bunch of free PDF patterns for the Go http://www.thriftyideastoday.com/201...-patterns.html - I love the 2 1/2 inch strip die, 5 inch square, my favorite is the tumbler, the circle die and the 10 inch square, retangle, oh and so many more...

After much thought (I have RA in my cutting hand) I finally got to try a GO at my LQS. For me, and just me, I cannot justify the huge cost in machine and dies vs the benefits I would get. It was a little tricky to use with one hand in a brace and was hard to turn and guide with 4 or more layers. And it only solves one part of my problem - I still need to cut to square up blocks and quilts. So I invested $20.00 in a new hand brace and am trying different rotary cutters and will see dr. to get change in meds. And wait for the next generation of cutters. And get an iPad instead!
My opinion and my opinion only. I would definitely say that you should try before you buy. |
