I too have an Accuquilt Go Big and really love it. I am getting "old" hands and just thinking of the future.

Interesting about ebony love..she is indeed a great source of info.....and I think Sizzix is beginning to see the benefit of attracting quilters...I buy their dies from msqc...a fee bucks less than at Sizzix website. They have not controlled prices yet!

Are the crank ones that hard to turn? The video made them look so easy.

What did you like better about the go big?

We got the Go for the quilt shop where I work. It didn't cut very well for our use, so we sent it back and got the Studio. It really cut a lot better. I also have the Studio and the Go (regular) at home, and I got the adapter so I could use my Go dies on my Studio.

The thing I wish I could do is to buy dies with several of the same shape on a single board. Like one that has 8 5-inch squares, so I could cut 8 X 8 layers = 64 squares with one pass. It takes just as long to cut by rotary cutter as it does with a single shape on a die.

I have no trouble with the crank. It's very easy!
