My guild has the Studio, members can use it with the dies available or buy their own. Members have to furnish their own mats. I have the Go and Go Baby and use them both. If the quilt pattern I want to make has different size pieces I use EQ7 and redraft the pieces to fit the die. I have all the dies except a few applique ones. I cut freezer paper or vellem with some of the dies to make templates for string piecing on the templates then sewing the pieces together. Makes the applique fantastic and uses up the smallest scraps.
