Jane- here you go

I find the Accuquilt website difficult

For me, the Qubes are over-priced. I already had a lot of the dies before the Qubes came out, so they were not as attractive to me as they might be to others.[/QUOTE]

me too! And I found that some of the dies in the Qubes are not available individually!

I just used my FG die for first time tonight (even though i've had it forever) and it's great! no waste, and fits so perfectly The more I use my Accuquilt the more I love it--such accuracy and for those that worry about wasted fabric, I don't really think that I waste any more than I do with a rotary cutter.

I would suggest you decide what quilt you want to make and determine if any of the dies will make cutting easier, and then get that die/dies. I tried to do that but whenever I saw a die on sale that I thought I might use someday, I would buy it. Therefore, I have a bunch of dies that have never been used. But that is ok, they are there when I need them!!!

Only the first 10 dies in the link I sent are for sale.

If you ever plan on doing a Double Wedding Ring, or any quilt that has curved pieces i.e. apple core, I would get those dies. I have the DWR die and love it. Everything is so accurate.

I have never seen the GO! cubes on sale, but they do have the companion sets on sale very inexpensively (some of those have up to 5 dies for $45 the last time I looked). I bought the Studio, but I have learned that I need a plan for acquiring dies. I built my reasoning on a solid premise: strip dies could help me make my own jelly rolls and the 5 in square could cut charms --both standard-- there would be plenty of patterns that use those sizes.
Take a breath and slow down. Moving too fast without a plan might result in EXPENSIVE clutter in the form of dies you don't really use. I am using the Wish List on the Accuquilt site to build my plan. I have made a rule for myself that I will buy ONE die from that list when they have a 1/2 off sale. That way I can look forward to new dies while I fully utilize the ones I currently own.

You may want to develop a reasoned plan for yourself that meets your goals, interests and quilting style while avoiding emotional decisions that cost money, space and stress.

InnovaBR I agree with you. I don't want a lot of things I won't use. So I'm taking it slowly. Thanks!

EDit-- from what I understand you have to get the Cube to buy the companion sets, correct? The cubes are so darn expensive!

Maybe studio dies go on sale for half off, but I have not seen any GO dies at that price...the most I've seen is $10 off! But, if you ever see that deal, please let us know!

Geri B- I will post if I ever see a sale, promise!
