I have studio accuquilt cutter and love it. So far, mostly I have used my strip dies more than anything else.
They work great!

I have a Go Baby (wish I had the Go). I still love and use it all the time.

I love using the Go cutter to make half square triangles for scrap quilts. Probably my main usage.

...what do mean "flopped anyone"... Must be the ' new' English! Anyway, I have a GO, best investment I have made in a long time.....have many dies and tomorrow am going to order a few more using gift card from family.....so that is my plan!

Cutting fabric with a rotary cutter is no problem so will not put out big bucks for a machine to cut for me.
It would be nice for applique pieces but so far have not used applique.
Did buy a cheap three hundred dollar Brother embroidery machine that I love for baby quilts.

I don't have one but I have a Bee friend that brings hers in if anyone wants to use it. I don't want one. I used to be into scrapbooking and have a Cricut which does similar cuts. To me there is too much waste for fabric. But, for honest accuracy, it works fine. If I was doing flowers or other round shapes, I can see using it. But not for Squares, triangles, ect.

When you use the die cutter and place the fabric correctly, most of the time the waste is minuscule....I prefer a little waste to get accuracy and speed! JMHO

I agree with you Geri B, and sometimes I just cut my scraps for something to do between projects.
