Hi! I did notice that there is one with an improved handle and thank you for mentioning it. Glad for the hint about the ball bearings. Like the idea of the 12 inch block set. Tomorrow going to JoAnn's for browsing since the dies are on sale. Do not have the "Go" yet, but don't want to miss the bargain prices on the dies. I am "dying" to burst free and visit some fabric stops. Thanks for all the creative boosts! Smiles, Snowrose

Thanks Carol, Glad you are enjoying it already! I'm off to buy some dies tomorrow and plan to order the new GO online since the prices seem so much better. Eager to get started! Saw one demonstrated today and it was marvelous. Will save so much time and think I can actually start making a dent on Fabricstashland. Smiles, Snowrose

I have the GO and several dies, including all the strip dies. I find I don't use it much. I am going to put an ad in my guild's newsletter and try and sell it. I usually just grab a ruler and cut what I want rather than set the GO up. I do mostly scrap quilts. I think the product is fine, but personally I am unhappy that I have spent about $700 on something I don't use.

Happy Holidays everyone! I recently returned to the quilting board, been very busy with school bus driving....my husband bought me an Accuquilt Go for Christmas , that was on my Christmas list. I like to appliqué, does anyone have a favorite technique to appliqué? I used to apply fusible web and iron it on the fabric. What do you like to do? Thank you Joanne
