i keep thinking "do i want a go or a go baby? will i use it?". I guess i really need to be hit in the head with a major deal! i'm so glad you are enjoying it!

I've been researching the go and baby go. I use a lot of pre cuts so I keep cutting down. I have arthritis in my hand and even though I do exercises, it hurts after tedious cutting. I don't know anyone who has one. How is the handle? The dyes are expensive. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I got mine at Sewforless.com. I think I got an excellent buy. Yes, the dies are expensive, but how many are you realistically going to use?

For those who have arthritis should look into the electric sizzix, you don't have to even crank just plug it in and slice away

I just made a baby quilt out the small tumbler block! Love it!

I don't have either kind, I did think about buying a go but, decided after all these not having one I really didn't need one. Enjoy yiurs.
Wrapping a potholder to make the handle larger may help with sore fingers and hands. Just a thought.

I don't have an Acuquilt but I have spent the morning 'slicing and dicing' with the good ol' rotary cutter and mat :)

Way to go Krystyna, now we will see lots of 'normal' dolls quilts from you huh ??? :)

Probably, Lyn! But not in May ... it's Quilty Chaos month and I'm working on my crazy quilt.

I still need to get mine out of the box! I bought mine last December.

I am getting 2500 2.5" squares ready for a swap and my Go Baby has saved my life. There is not way I want to cut 2500 squares. Have worked off and on for 2 days and they are all done and I even have lots of squares left over that I won't swap. Great purchase on my part.
