How many of you have the GO! or GO! Baby?

I don't know how I ever lived without my GO. I love the strip cutters cause you can get strips for bindings, sashings and borders. You can also cut squares and 30, 45 and 60 degree diamonds with them. They are also perfect for cutting your scraps into strips. Not only does the GO save time on cutting, it saves time on sewing, too. All your pieces fit together so perfectly. While the strip cutters are my favorite dies, I have also learned to love applique. I was never happy with my applique results when hand stitching or machine stitching, but I now use my embroidery machine to stitch down the appliques and it has opened up a whole new world for me. I love machine embroidery applique!!!
I have never regretted buying my GO!

I have the Go Baby and really like it. I just got the 2 1/2 inch strip cutter die for mine and my bindings are a whole lot more accurate now. Not to mention how much faster cutting bindings is. I also have several dies, including the 2 1/2 in squares (which cuts 8 at a time!) and find piecing is a breeze with pieces cut on the Go Baby.

I love my GO!..both for strips (log cabins, binding) and for squares, applique shapes. Really speeds things up for me, and it's accurate (which has been a problem for me with rotary cutting...operator errors eliminated!)

I preordered the Go Baby before it was for sale and tote came free. The tote is nicer then one I could find to fit. I bought another Baby for a gift and bought the tote for it. Why not get the pretty tote?

I have had my GO for about two months and I love it. I purchased the basic dies first and then the speciality ones like Funky Flower, Calico Cat, etc. At my sewing class last month our instructor gave us a great idea using the GO flower die to make fabric flowers. I'd never thought of doing that. Purchasing the GO was one of my smarter moves and those are few and far between.

I have the go. Love it.. I recommend buying extra white mats- the grey ones if they are still around are worthless... If you use the cutter often like I do you need plenty of mats on had for back up as they are what I consider to be disposable... I'm a scrappy quilter and It works great for me..
