I just recently learned about the Go! Cutter by Accuquilt and am considering purchasing it. What are your comments regarding this product? Is there something I should avoid? Which dies are "must haves" if I purchase this? Where is the best place to purchase this product? Thanks!

I was just looking at it last night on Amazon (which seems to have the best price), $80 and free shipping.

I have a Go Baby, the only bad thing about the Baby is that it is not big enough to cut strips which I would use a lot. A close friend has the bigger one and I go to her house to cut things bigger. The 2" finished square is very useful and I just bought the 5" rag quilt one because I am making my son a jeans rag quilt and it really saves alot of time. As far as others it just depends on what shape you use the most. I got my dies from a place called Quilters Warehouse and their prices were far better than others. Accu Quilt puts them on sale a lot of times and I watch for those.

I ordered my Go from AccuQuilt on a special deal and got 5 dies with it - a square, a multi die and 3 of the strip cutters plus the cutting mats. the Go Baby is cute but very limited as to dies. I buy only the dies I think I will get the most use of, squares, tumbler, hexigons, etc. to date I have 23 dies, only get them on sale. I love mine, I cut an entire drunkards path full sized quilt in about 2 hours.

I have the Go I ordered off ebay last year and I love it. If you watch Ebay you may get a great deal as I did. The dies I use the most are the 2.5" strip die, hexagon, circles, triangles. It depends on what you do the most of. There are a few Accuquilt die yahoo groups I belong to. One of them has the dies at a normal 35% off.

How much money do you have? How much space?
Yes, they will make special dies just for you ... at a cost. I have my Alto's QuiltCut2 and love it. Easy to store and use. Due to physical limitations I can't use the Accuquilt Go products. I'd have to have someone else work the machine ... and then I'd not be happy with the waste of fabric. Just saying, ali |
I have the Accuquilt-Go (not Baby-Go) and love it. It offers alot more than the Baby in dies selection and size. Every so often Joann's has them on special for $199.00 instead of the regular $349.00. It might be worth pricing it on Amazon or Ebay. Whatever you do, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
And Joann's honors the 40% off coupon on the dies.(not cutter, however) |
