I am a senior and have arthritis in my hands and elbows. I have been looking at an Accuquilt Go. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Has anyone had experience with the "Go"?
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have arthritis in my hands/elbows and fibro too. I have a hard time cranking my pasta machine so I have wondered about being able to crank one of these.
I would suggest maybe trying one out first, to see if it is doable for you :D:D:D

I have a dear friend who just recently purchased the Accuquilt Go. She too has problems with flexibility in her fingers and hands. She is thrilled with her purchase, and can't wait to buy some more dies to use. I told her I'm jealous! :D

I work at an art studio (part time second job), and get to use the studio version. LOVE it! Mentioned today to a friend that it would be a good investment for a couple of people to get together, share the use and the cost.

I have the Accuquilt Studio and love, love, love it. See if you can try the Go before you buy one. I bet you'll love it.

I too have arthritis in my hands/elbows and fibro and own the GO. When my right elbow is inflammed I just go on the other side of it and do it with my left arm. If I am having a really bad day I either do less layers or have my DH crank it for me. I have not had a day yet so bad that I could not use it at all.

The quilt in my avitar is one I used the Go on.

I hope this helps,
Anna
