Has anyone tried the new AccuQuiltGo fabric cutting machines? It looks like there are some that are hand cranked and some that are electronic. If they perform like they are advertised they could be an awesome time saver and more accurate than my cutting I'm sure!

There are several models of the Accuquilt cutter out there now, but they're all hand-crank. Here's a comparison of the three machines they make: http://www.accuquilt.com/fabric-cutter-comparison

If you do a search on Accuquilt here, you'll turn up a lot of threads about them and get plenty of opinions.

We use an Accuquilt Studio cutter and it's pretty awesome for cutting various shapes and strips.

I really like my sizzix, have been playing around with it the past couple days, it is hand crank, but I believe they have a small electronic one

They do work very well, and they are very fast and very accurate. But, they are expensive; the dies, which must be purchased separately, are quite costly. And, I found they wasted more fabric than if you cut using templates or your rotary cutter. Just MHO.

I love my accuquilt GO! (on sale at joanns now for $199)

It is so much quicker and far more accurate than my rotary cutting, which cuts down on my fabric waste.
