The largest square they make is 8.5". I don't think they'll ever be able to make anything bigger than that, as the opening is only about 10". One reason I sold mine and got the Big Shot Pro is because I wanted to use my stash to make those layer cake quilts and wanted to cut 10" squares easily.

Wow love your ideas for other uses. I never even thought of those!

I have cut everything that is possible to be cut with it, even foil and cellophane squares to wrap cookies and brownies for a bake sale. Felt shapes for the felt board at the library story hour. The large circle die cuts perfect fitting parchment to line my cake pans, the small circle die cuts the paper for muffin pans.

For me the Studio or the Go...I have both was the best investment for me...if not for the die cutting system I would not be a quilter. My back hurts when cutting a lot of pieces with the rotary cutter and also those blades are very expensive. I bought my go in 2010 and upgraded to the studio in 2011...never had a problem with any dies and they all work like new.
