    Default Go or GoBaby?

    I'm trying to decide between the Go and the Go Baby because I don't have a lot of space, but the smaller Go Baby seems a bit limiting. Has anyone used or seen both used? I'm wondering if I'll be sorry if I buy the Baby instead of finding a way to make space for the actual Go machine? I appreciate all opinions! Thanks!!!

    Have not used the Go Baby, but own the GO. Love it and find that when it needs to be put away, it folds us nicely and easily. Just a foot by foot or so when folded up.

    I think you would be happier long-term with the Go! Many more options for dies down the road. Plus, the Go! folds up neatly and takes very little actual storage space. It's the *dies* that start taking up space once you start collecting them! I currently have my die stash stored in a single drawer of a filing cabinet. (All dies are stored upright in there, as you don't want to store dies stacked one on tope of the other.) Eventually I will need to clear out another drawer for them.

    I chose the Go because of the variety of dies it will handle. The dies take up more space than the GO. Too bad we can't just rent them.

    I agree, the go baby is very limited

    The Go ! I don't have alot of space either. I keep my Go tucked under a table until I need to use it, then it fits nicely on my cutting table. It really saves alot of time in cutting.

    I have both. The Baby is more like a sewing notion, it's easy to pick up and use.

    I have the Studio, which is bigger than the GO, although I can use GO dies. However, I have to cut fewer layers with the GO die, which after using Studio dies, makes the process seem longer. I can't imagine moving down to the Baby. I recommend the GO.

    Just got my Go and I'm so excited to use it. Even though the dimensions are listed, I vastly underestimated the size of it and the dies. I'd still go with the Go though. It's good for what I need.
