I am a gadget girl for sure. Probably will always be. Spent on sharpeners, waste, a binder gadget that sews the binding on in one fell swoop, never could get to work. Being a ruler nut isn't an easy thing either, but even if I don't use them but once if they work I'm a happy camper LOL Now I'm putting in a lot of thought into a Go, since I really hate to cut and would love to get SAS dies and MAKE ONE!! Just keep thinking how stinking high the dies are, and will it be worth it. Also the double wedding ring is another one I hear is great to have....

I agree with this. So many people really like them, but I'm always unhappy with my results.
