I've been away from this forum for awhile and since I have been debating purchasing an Accuquilt Go! I came here for reviews...I read some the other day and then at 2 quilt shops this past week, I got to see one in action. I fell in love and ordered it from Allbrands. They have the best price anywhere and it should be here Thursday, I can't wait!!!

I have had mine for several years and love it...I only put in three layers on my go...never any issues. I would not out on 6 layers to had to put though...I perfer just 3 layers. I make quilts that I would never have made without it. Worth every penny to me...

I love the accuquilt for cutting triangles and tumblers as well as strips. My very best quilting friend just purchased a studio cutter. I paid for one of the dies. I just spent two days with her, slicing and dicing. It cuts 10 layers at a time, the die for charm blocks has 8 blocks--in minutes, 80 charm blocks. Love it.

My accuquilt "go" is several years old and I have about 100 of the dies. I use it for stripes, squares & circle mostly. I don't cut triangle with it as I use a different method of sewing triangle so they don't stretch. I think it's more precious in cutting than using a ruler. Much faster, but I never cut over 4 layers are a time. Do you need one??, Did you need a microwave? It's a new toy and life is short. Do you want to leave all your money to your children to have fun with? I don't drink or smoke, so if I want a new die every month, I have saved enough to get one. I do have several dies that I never have used. Someone was asking how to get the sample dies. If you sign up for Accuquilt newsletter, you will get an email when they come out with a new set of dies.
