    Default Electric Accuquilt Go !

    Saw this on Facebook. Accuquilt has created an ELECTRIC Go Fabric Cutter! It will use all the dies that are used with the regular Go.

    I know I won't be ordering one; I don't use my manual Go enough to justify all the money I have invested in it!

    I have the Studio and am able bodied, but this will be a great tool for those with arthritis and other conditions.

    it will be great for those who need speedier cuts or for those who can't crank. i wouldn't be interested since the crank one i have is alot faster than ME rotary cutting and my arms are working fine. (for now) I'm sure alot of people will enjoy this tho.

    It's about time! Great news. Right now I'm loving the BOB dies!

    Hopefully it will be a bit better than the Sizzix vagabond, which I've read has terrible problems! I'm just looking into die cutting machines and will definitely go for a manual hand crank!

    I saw the Brother's new cutter and but I get so confused with all those menus. It was priced at $499. Too steep for this quilter's budget and I doubt if Santa will be bringing me one for Xmas !! I keep telling myself I don't need one since most of the charity quilt I make are from strips.

    Too bad there isn't a video demo on it.........I will give it a year to get all the bugs out, then may consider, at a sale price, of course!

    That would help with the arthritis and carpal tunnel problems, but I don't think I will be buying one. I have the GO and hardly ever use it.
