I have the Go and Go Baby. I use them as much as I use to use my rotary cutter. Now I use the rotary cutter to cut yardage not block pieces. I have tried the new die cut machines all are nice but the Accuquilt has all quilt dies, the rest have lots and lots of scrapbooking dies.

I use my Go to cut squares, triangles, tumblers etc. I bought the 2 1/2" square die just so I could cut my scraps for a postage stamp quilt. I don't have the strip cutting dies. I keep tossing the idea around but i figure I can cut strips pretty straight with my rotary cutter and ruler and the cost of it could be spent on other dies or fabric!!!

Suggestions on good dies to start with?

Ms. Skip I have the Accuquilt Go! I love it being careful on cutting the pieces of fabric before going on the die. "Oh! how accurate" sewing pieces together is such a dream "Go for it"
