A couple of days ago, I stated that I purchased a new AccuQuilt Go. Well today, I finally had the chance to try it out and I think I'm going to like it a lot. Did notice that that it makes pretty good marks on the cutting mat once it rolled through and I did rotate it several times. I hope it lasts awhile though.
I especially liked the fact that the dog ears were cut off on the triangles. It's a keeper! |
My mats are lasting a long time, but I noticed the same thing the first few cuts. I also love the triangles! Mine was hard to crank at first; it has gotten easier to crank with use. Seems to me the mats are getting marked less also as long as I keep it to 4 layers of fabric (all I can easily crank through).

Same thing here--first couple of times the crank was a little hard to turn and the marks on the mat were pretty good. I used it quite a bit during the last week cutting a Sunbonnet Sue and found that the marks are much less obvious and the crank turns very easy. I really think the mats will last much longer than we originally thought. Have fun! I'm anxious to get some of the strip dies.

So glad you like it!

www.shoppersrule.com sometimes runs die sales for the Go! Might want to get added to their email list. This is a place where you can submit a bid on an item and they will either accept it or counterbid (which you can reject). Some people have started by bidding less than half price for something; when rejected, they bid a little more the following week and keep doing that until they get the rock-bottom price. Shipping can be high, though, and they run free shipping sales only twice a year or so.
Also, there is an Accucutquilters group on Yahoo with some business posters who give discounts. |
I would like to get some of the other dies, I just wish they weren't so expensive. Does anyone know of a place that has reasonable prices on them? |
I lov mine . I have the 21/2 inches strips and the small rag quilt dies. My 7 and 12 year old grandson love turning the handle
