I have all of the strip dies...love them! 2 1/2 inch is the one I would get if I only could have one. Bindings of course ; ) It is so fast to cut strips. Tumblers are my favorite! Love the dunkards path die. I have only made one but I will make more in the future. So many I like hard to choose...The flower dies are becoming my favorite applique since i use it more then the others for that. circles and hearts, stars...awesome. So much easier than cutting.

one thing I find with the Go...I make use of the scraps. its so easy to cut them up and store them neatly. When I am inbetween a quilt project I make sure of my cut scraps. I also use them when donating a quilt. Feels like I made it for almost nothing...though I did pay for the fabrics already.

I also use the go to make wreaths...using the 4 1/2 inch square. So quick and easy. Also great for left overs. Also to make rugs [ATTACH=CONFIG]422862[/ATTACH]

I noticed that several people use the Go for cutting 2.5 inch strips. I watched a Accu-quilt demo for cutting strips and I could cut the strips faster using a June Tailor Shape Cut ruler. Much less expensive, and very accurate. The demo showed the person having to use 2 rulers to square up the fabric, then tranferring the fabric to the cutter and then getting the strips. Using a Shape Cut ruler, I put the ruler on the fabric,use the 0 slot to square up the fabric and then cut the strips. Very Fast!
