Do a search under accuquilt. You will find tons of threads/posts and alot of comments. That might help ya some.

I have an Accu Go and I love it. It saves wear and tear on my hands.

Love my Accuquilt GO.

I bought my Accuquilt GO over a year ago. It is one purchase I have made for my quilting tools that I have never regretted. In fact, I can't get enough of it. Every spare minute I have I am cutting or quilting. My first quilt with the GO was a king size 9 patch. I needed 450 2 1/2" squares. It cut them all in about 15 minutes, and they were perfect. When they are cut perfect like that they sew together so perfectly. I did not have to square up any of my 9 patch blocks, and I hate squaring up. I've had the Alto for years and quit using it because I didn't think it worked.
If there is any way to afford it, go for the GO. If I could afford it I would go for the Studio because it cuts more layers, and they have more dies. I am totally happy with the GO, and I don't have room for the dedicated space the Studio cutter requires, but I would like to be able to choose from more dies.
If you have any questions about the GO, let me know and I will help you as much as I can.

I have a quietly cut and I love it, I would never give it up. It is so accurate and easy to use, and a lot cheaper than the accuquilt. The dies are so expensive. If you do a search for the quilt cut and you will see so many positive comments about it. Owners love it.

I just bought the Accuquilt Go - love, love, love, love it!

What she said :D

I have both and use them both. I use the Go more though. They both cost about the same but with the Go you will want to buy different dies to get the full use of it. The Alto is very well made and will hold the fabric for you as you cut, that is a plus for me when cutting yardage.

I have the Alto's QuiltCut2 system. I absolutely love it. No special dies to buy. No extra costs. Easy to store. Does multiple angles. Has a DVD and books to help you learn.

I have arthritis in my hands and the accuquiltgo is too hard for me to work.

I only do no more than 2 layers at a time when I cut any material unless I am using my MrQuilt Third Hand [bought years ago, don't know if he makes them anymore.] and then only use 4 layers.

I'm with you. I think this is a great system, and like you say, no expensive dies and it does the job
