I have the go. Love it.. I recommend buying extra white mats- the grey ones if they are still around are worthless... If you use the cutter often like I do you need plenty of mats on had for back up as they are what I consider to be disposable... I'm a scrappy quilter and It works great for me..

I enjoy my GO! I saves tons of time cutting squres espically. It doesn't always cut through all the fabric though so I find myslef having to do some trimming. Anyone else have that issue with their go? If you get a GO, be prepared to spend more money on the dies and cutting squares; they aren't cheap. :(

Not only does the GO save time on cutting, it saves time on sewing, too. All your pieces fit together so perfectly. While the strip cutters are my favorite dies, I have also learned to love applique. I was never happy with my applique results when hand stitching or machine stitching, but I now use my embroidery machine to stitch down the appliques and it has opened up a whole new world for me. I love machine embroidery applique!!!

I have never regretted buying my GO!
I'm curious about how you use your embroidery machine 'to stitch down appliques.' Please explain, or better yet, show a picture. I do much better when I see a picture LOL!

I have the Go and use it for applique projects plus I love the strip dies. If you mark the outline on the die's and then place your fabric carefully there isn't really much waste.

LOVE my GO!
I am now addicted to tumbler blocks-they are so eazy to sew with the corners all perfectly cut for piecing.
Have used the 1 1/2 inch for log cabin quilts, the2 1/2 inch for bindings, the rag is super easy....

I haven't seen the white mats. Where do I find them?
