Just exactly what do you do with your Accuquilts and Accuquilt go? Do you just cut shapes that you could do the same by using a template? I want one because it's a new toy and I could tighten my belt a little and afford it, I just can't imagine what I would actually do with it. Seems like a lot of money to accomplish what you can do with templates. Maybe I'm missing something???

Go to: http://www.accuquilt.com/GO-Fabric-C...FUdrKgodDRdO2A
They have a demo right under the pictures on the top left hand side. It might help you see if you'd really like it or not. The only use I personally see is for the shapes that are odd (like a butterfly) that you can applique with. It's easier just to cut long strips for the regular sized strips, squares and triangles. Happy Shopping! |
The dies are really expensive and I can't justify the price for myself, I have the Altos quilt cut 2 and I love it, it does all I need very quickly and easily.

Read the thread about over-priced gadgets and then make your decision. . . .

I think it depends a lot on how much cutting you do, which shapes are your favorite cuts, and how good you are with a rotary cutter.
The thing I like most about my Go! are the triangles. They are cut perfectly with all the points nipped off, so they are easy to match up to sew accurately. The tumbler shape would be difficult to rotary cut, so I like that die, but tumblers have limited design possibilities. For strips and squares, I can do just as well with my rotary cutter and a Shape Cut mat. The applique shapes are primarily for use with fusible applique. The Go! does make it easier for me to cut a lot of shapes in a day, so it is just borderline worth it for me. For those with problems using a rotary cutter, it can be very worthwhile. |
did I see someone on here had one for sale for $500 with a lot of dyes...I think it was in the section forsale items
