    They're thinner than the Go! dies, right?

    If so - yes, you just have to add some shims (like sheets of plexiglass) underneath the die to bring it up to the right thickness and get good cuts.

    No, Sizzix dies are thicker than Accuquilt Go dies. You can use the Go dies in some Sizzix machines, like the Big Shot Pro if you add some shims.
