I have the sizzix version, a little cheaper, more intricate dies, and I like it. Want the sizzix pro, saw it at the show but don't have the funds for it yet

I have had the Go for a year. Got it at JoAnns for $199 and free shipping. The 8" rag die is a must and I love all the strip dies.

I have an Accu Cutting System and I love it. Have used several of the dies. I don't like the Apple die, it too hard to sew and the pieces do not line up easily.

I have a studio quilter and love it! I made a quilt with a border of appliqued flowers. I used my circle die to cut different shapes and then "built" flowers from the shapes. I definitely recommend the cutting system....either one: Go! or Studio. Several friends have the Go and love it. I purchased the Studio just so I could have fleur de lis dies made.

do your homework on ALL of the cutters out there.
with the Sizzix you get more options on dies to use!

Look for sales. I happened to get a new Go with one die and a cutting mat - may have been used once at most - at a yard sale for $75. I had really wanted one and was doing the happy dance all the way home. I have found dies on sale on different sites. I search for good prices. The Go really saves time and energy. I have used it for quite a few 6 1/2" square swaps here on the board. It's nice I don't have to worry about cutting accuracy. It is harder to use it to cut striped or plaid fabric and get it cut square. I have used a June Tailor Shape Cut for those.

My super-awesome daughters bought me the GO for my 40th bday And I absolutely LOVE it!!! The best price I've found is from www.quilting-warehouse.com for $199.99. I found it on their website last February and it's still that price.
I already have several dies and love them all; so I can't say which one is my favorite. I can say the 2 1/2" strip die sure was nice yesterday when I needed to cut binding strips for a queen size quilt

I have had the GO! for a couple years! I have made the TUMBLER many,many times because it is so darn simple. The die cuts off all the corners so the pieces line up PERFECTLY! Easy to sew a top together in a day! I have also used the rag die, heart die, the many strip dies and a bunch of flowers and vines and leaves! I have the dog but haven't used it yet!
At RTC just bought the alphabet, house, more flowers.
