I really do love the AccuQuilt GO! and have the strip dies, but truly use them for cutting scraps. For overall strip cutting, my favorite tool is the June Taylor shape cutter for cutting strips.
There are steps you can take to eliminate the V, regardless of using rulers, strip rulers, AccuQuilt, Sizzix, Simplicity cutter, etc. As such, I'm wondering if a better question might be one that solicits feedback for cutting accurate strips vs just a cutting tool. Not that I am against Modern cutting tools, as I think they are great, but cutting techniques are also important regardless of the cutting tool.

Hi again all,
My Accuquilt Go with the starter set came in yesterday!! The other dies and extra mats that dh and ds also ordered for my early Christmas gift are due in Tues. or Weds. I haven't tried it yet...am forcing myself to finish embellishing a Christmas stocking I committed to making for someone else 1st. But believe you me, as soon as I get it done, I will be trying the Go out!! When dh came in from work yesterday he couldn't believe I hadn't opened it up yet...I don't know who is more shocked, him or I that I am sticking to finishing the stocking... :shock:
A big thank you to all of you for your opinions and input! I also appreciate any and all hints from those of you who have the Go...
Regards,
Kif

I don't see how a machine-cutter could read where the fabric is misprinted and cut around it. Did I miss something?
But hey, it sound like a fun item, good luck!
