So sorry this happened to you. Hopefully you hear good news soon. Like someone else said I think I would call them for faster results.I don't have one yet but seems like everyone really likes them. I hope to get one maybe next year. Good luck on yours!

1st. I am so sorry for your problems.
2nd. I want one so bad, I really want to know what happens. My rotary cutter and I am standing by, but praying that the company is a stand-up company and helps you immediately. Please let us know.

I haven't had that problem with the GO, but did have areas of about 1/2" uncut and some threads uncut on one of the dies. I e-mailed them and they e-mailed back and sent a replacement. Quick response. However, if you call them, you're that much ahead, because if they send you another, it would probably go out that same day instead of waiting for e-mail reply, then mailing, etc.

Can I ask why you put paper on top of fabric? Are you supposed too?
I haven't used mine yet, so would like to know about paper.

Thanks,

The instructions suggest using paper, but didn't say why. I thought it sounded stupid so didn't do it with the first several cuts of 5" squares. It turns out that the mat will stretch the fabric if you don't use paper and you end up with an UNsquare square. With the paper, the mat will slip a little along the paper and not stretch the fabric. You might not have to worry about it with strips, but I haven't tried the strips yet.

So I sent an email off to Accuquilt and will see what happens! I have only made a few projects with my GO! and was lovin it!

Somehow I feel as if I am falling for a joke but....what's a GO!???please.

The Accuquilt Go! and Accuquilt Go! Baby are die cutters for fabric. Here's a link to what one looks like: http://www.accuquilt.com/GO-Fabric-Cutter-P3006.aspx
