If you are getting a backache from cutting, perhaps your cutting surface height is too low?

Maybe Santa will bring my Vagabond home.

Will the Vagabond use the Go dies? How wide a die will it use?

I bought the Hot Shot (that was electric) but couldn't figure out how to layer the dies, but I loved the electric part.

I purchased the ShapeCut Pro using a 50% coupon from JoAnns. Has totally eliminated the dreaded "V" as it is wide enough to cut on the single fold. Has cutting slots every 2 1/2". It has saved me time and fabric when cutting strips.

Check out the Sizzix. It uses dies from the Accuquilt. Also there is a Yahoo group where I am a member that sells both machines and the dies at 30% off. If you would like further information PM me. Ann in TN

i have used the studio the go and the baby go and the studio is the best if you have the money and space but i think your beat bet is to get the go if you get the baby go you will soon wish you had gotten the bigger one.
