I love my GO and can't imagine quilting without it. I am in the process of making a quilt that needed forty-two 1 1/2" strips. It only took 5 cuts on my GO, and less than 5 minutes to get the forty-two strips. And the strips are perfect. The fabric type and how careful you are about cutting determines how perfect your cuts will be. Sometimes my cuts are not absolutely perfect, but they are still more perfect than I can cut them with my rotary cutter. I use my strip cutters the most - for bindings, sashings, borders and squares. I also love the applique dies which I use with my embroidery machine.
