But why oh why did I order it just as gardening season is upon us? *sigh*

Krystyna, glad you got one and glad you're liking it so far! I have the Go Baby; hubby got it for me for Valentine's Day and I love it! Very easy to set up, doesn't waste much fabric; can cut accurately without the pain in my neck/shoulders/hands. Also love the fact that we paid half price than it is normally. You do find pretty good deals on the dies on ebay at times, and Joann often has sales where all AccuGo products and accessories are 25% off. Have fun!!!

I just received my Joann's Flyer and the Accuquilt GO cutting accessories (Dies and Mats) are on sale for 25% off from April 15 - May 5th... :):thumbup:

Thanks for the heads up, Maureen! I'll have to do a little comparison shopping.

I have an accuquilt go, used it once and put it away. I have arthritis in the rotor cuff, and cranking the wheel was painful. Also spending lots of time to get the fabric just so and cutting into the mats drove me nuts. I usually do hst, rather than cut lots of triangles, and my squares with the go were wonky - I don't do applique with a repetitive design, I am more of a traditional piecer. Determine what type of quilter you are, and also look at the Alto's Quilt Cut. I hope to get one soon. I can make accurate strips and the rotary cutter isn't as painful for my rotor cuff.
