    I decided mine was worth the price after cutting and making a tumbler quilt. Pieces were perfect and went together like a dream.

    I love mine! I'm making a Grandmothers Flower Garden & the hexagon die fit the need quite nicely. Sure saved me a lot of time cutting out 4,000 hexs! Yes, there's waste, but no more than you would usually have when cutting out shapes.

    I love mine. But the dies can get expesive. I have 3 friends who each own one so we tread our dies back and fourth.

    I would much rather use Inklingo, You get many more options, accuracy and even a line to sew on. The only drawback is you still have to use your rotary cutter. The price is much cheaper than any of those cutters.

    I couldn't do half of the stuff I do without my sister's GO. We both use it all the time and cuts the work required in half if not more AND you can count on every piece being perfect. That's a price worth paying for me. I'm thinking about getting my own and exchanging dies. I say GO for it.

    Returned mine. Cuts were not accurate. Material waste was a huge factor along with the cost of the dies.

    I don't own one but used the Go and studio cutters. The studio cutter was much easier for me to crank but it's considerably more money. I have no problems cutting out basic shapes with my rotary cutter so I opted for the Bernina Cutwork Software. Now, I can scan any shape into the software and cut as many that will fit in my jumbo embroidery hoop x 10 layers of fabric....and no extra dies to buy.

    I have the Go cutter and love it also, especially for the 2 1/2 strips. I,m not the greatest at cutting straight and the
    cutter allows me to do this. I don't have all the dies, just the ones that I use the most. I would highly recommend it.
