Actually, the new one that just came out is the Brother Scan'n Cut. The only problem I see with any of these computer linked ones is it looks like you can only feed 1 layer of fabric at a time.

Yes but she didn't say it was the new one. Only that it hooks up to the computer. The Scan n Cut doesn't *have* to be hooked up to the computer. The silhouette doesn't either (depending on the model) but it still requires the use of a computer either way.

My GO says you can cut paper with it

I was tempted to get a die-cutter machine, but then bought the Quilt-Cut 2. I can do any kind of cut I need on my Quilt Cut, and haven't been at all tempted to buy a machine since I got that. You should try it!

My GO! was one of the 1st things I bought when I decided to teach myself how to quilt. The GO vs. my rotary cutting wins hands down. I'm slowly buying the dies as I need them or when I have some extra money saved up, but thats on hold for now as I'm saving up for a Janome 6600 my dream machine!

If you are talking about the accu-quilt, I had the opportunity to use one over Christmas while in Buffalo NY. I loved it and I think I would like one. The cuts were so fast and so accurate.
