When the Go first came out I bought it and every die that came with it, all were geometric dies then. I knew immediately I would love it and what a great help it would be. I like Acccuquilt because the products are all for quilting and sewing.

Even though the dies for the Studio are more expensive, aren't they guaranteed for life? My DIL has a hand crank one but doesn't use it as often as she used to. I may need to rethink this also as I do mostly scrap quilts, and it seems like I have been spending a lot of time cutting lately.

I cut paper, foil, foam, anything that can be cut with scissors using my dies. They still cut fabric just fine and aren't dull. I don't baby them at all. It's for cutting and that is what I use it for.

I love mine too. Bought it at the Road to CA show several years ago. I think it took me a year to really start using it. But once you get the hang of it, you start looking at all the dies with interest. Just bought the Owl die - it looks like fun and it was on sale, so it is on its way to me now. :-)

I love my accuquilt Go. It saves me time, energy and frustration. I traced all shapes onto clear plastic templates and keep them with the dies. whenever I get ready to cut some shapes, I place the template over the fabric and cut a general shape out so I can "save" fabric. If you decide to do this, I would recommend writing the name of the die, the # of the die and the size of the shape. This will save lots of time in the long run.
