I love my GO so much I became an authorized dealer. I am a chapter leader for Quilts for Kids and the GO has been a real time saver in cutting kits. If you cut the strips you run through, to the size AccuQuilt recommends (and that info is on all their die packaging) you will end up with very little waste.
My prices are always at 25% off the suggested manufacturer's retail price.

DH bought mine for Christmas this year but I couldn't wait to get it. I LOVE IT! I wouldn't sell it for twice as much as I gave for it.I have wasted more fabric cutting it wrong than the AQGo and dies cost!
I just bought the 5 in die and mat and the 2 1/2 in strip die and mat.I buy the ones I use the most.
I figure quilting is an expensive hobby but buying a little at a time doesn't seem so bad.Then one day you have all you need.(Until they come out with something new. LOL
And I am on SSI but I take out of my budget for me and my quilting!!! :thumbup:

That's an awesome machine too! Which one did you get? The Big Shot or the Big Shot Pro?
I had been looking at the Big Shot today as on the accuquilt group this lady made the cutest tree skirt and cut the letters out with her Big Shot. I don't have an alpha dies, but when I get some I'd like to try it with my Cuttlebug as alot of the dies are interchangeable.

I have the regular big shot. I kind of wish I'd gotten the big shot pro instead of the Go because it's supposed to take any company's die and it's wider. But it's more expensive and doesn't fold up.

I have the Accuquilt Go Baby and I just LOVE IT!! I'm not a very accurate rotary cutter and this is more accurate. Plus it's JUST DARN FUN!!!!! Now I like cutting more than sewing!
You can get dies cheaper at Sew Vac Direct online. They are about 5 to 10 dollars cheaper than thru Accuquilt, but they don't have every die. Still worth checking out. Does anybody else have a cheap site for dies? Let us know! Buying dies could put you in the poorhouse!
