Can you do strips with the Go Baby?

I would pay the extra for a regular Go...the baby one is very small. You can get the GO for around 200.00 when in sale.

No...I do cut mine into strips to fit the die, less waste. I also only put 4 to 5 layers in....easier to put though the machine.

I have the Go and love it. I have all the strip dies that are very handy and a 5x5 die plus the ones that come with the machine.
I want to buy some other dies but with what I have, I having too much fun.

I have the Studio. Just getting into quilting as a hobby, but love it.
The studio is great. I just cut my borders for a king quilt with 1 pass on 3 1/2 yd's of fabric. I fan folded and the die has 5 cuts on the board. I folded so that I only used 4 cuts and rolled the remainder to the edge so no waste. I don't cut strips the size of the board. Just cover what I want to be cut and the remainder folds out of the way. Not difficult to turn.
The Studio is heavy and takes space but I manage taking it from Maine to Florida in our camper. P.S. Love this board and all the great information :-)

With regard to the hand and wrist issues...I talked with Linda Pumphrey, Accuquilt's National Sales Mgr at the Houston IQF, and said that a motorized crank option would be greatly appreciated by those of us with issues. She was very receptive to the suggestion. I hope they do before the DH decides to address it!! :lol:

The Studio is recommended for multiple users and or guilds. The Go is not built to withstand heavy use and lots of people using it.

Thanks, Katied772. I did click on this and found the product. It is more or less the same product I purchased sever years ago at a quilt show. I used it for a while but then put it away - I found that my 6-1/2" ruler and 18x24 mat along with the rotary cutter did just as good a job as I did with the big board.

I purchased some more dies today for the new Accuquilt cutter. Wish me luck. I surely hope I will not have any problems after I get it "broken in".

I have tried the AccuQuilt Go a few times so am getting it for Christmas. I think I will really like it. Cutting is my least favorite part of the process of making a quilt. I went to Amazon and got the best price.
