I have had this wonder cutting machine for about 2 weeks. It was a big stretch financially to get one but I am a very prolific quilter and felt it would be worth it.

I have no trouble cutting strips so was not interested in those dies or the applique type. I ordered the 3 1/2 HST and the 4 7/8 triangle. These are the ones that will make a flying geese block 3 1/2 x 6 1/2.

All I can say is WOW. It is just cut and sew. Not a single bit of trimming. I just cut up all my Christmas Scraps for the start of a quilt with just flying geese. Here is a picture of how they look when you cut them.

I also cut up a bunch of them to surround this cute wall hanging from a panel I bought a couple of years ago. Cut and sew----no trimming.

I feel that it is well worth the money if you make lots of quilts. I will be selective in what dies I buy to make sure I will make lots of quilts out of them.

Next one I want is the Alex Anderson one that makes smaller geese. This would be used with the one that came with the machine.

Nicely done. I'm still on the fence, waiting for the price to drop more. I am the same way I only think that I need the strip cutter. I was thinking of the Simplicity strip cutter but I heard too many bad things about it. So I guess untill I can find a killer deal I will do everything manually.

It looks like it does a beautiful job, but I am not sure I would do enough to make the expenditure worthwhile. I don't do applique except on the embroidery machine so I wouldn't be interested in the dies either; and I like doing the quickie HST's. Maybe sometime in the future but not now.

Cool. I have not explored those to much. Did you cut out the snowmen or was that a panel?

Glad you like it. I LOVE my GO!

I love mine as well. It really helps my hands as I have both carpel tunnel nerve damage and arthritis. Cutting a lot of strips for charity quilts really is a breeze now.

One of these days..........


I really want one, I just haven't been able to justify spending the money on it. Maybe when I get my income tax return..........

You guys are making it really hard to NOT buy one. Let's see, I'm a pretty prolific quilter, I have carpal tunnel and arthritis, if I bought the Go there would always be dies that I could get as gifts from dh and dd, it's one of the few gadgets I don't have......hmmmm......looks like it's getting closer and closer.....

Check ebay occasionally. I got my go for $175.

That looks very cool. I canceled my order (temporarily) because I decided to spent the money on my children/ grandchildren instead. I had the simplicity cutter and sent it back. I first thought it was nice but soon realized it cuts wavy. Can't wait to get my Go.

I love mine, I have almost all the dies- minus the strips, I think i can handle straight lines! lol.. My only disappointment is that the mat wears down to quickly for me.. I always have a new spare of each size, when I unwrap a new one I make sure to replace the back up one the very next day... Other than that, I LOVE MY GO!!!!!
