    When I purchased my Accuquilt Go the lady told me about the Sissix(SPELLINg?) and she said that you have to add the seam allowance.That is what stopped me purchasing it.

    Yes, the whole book has patterns using the GO Dies, so you don't have to do any converting and can enjoy full use (and appreciation) of your GO Dies used in the particular pattern. You can get the book from Accuquilt or also on line from Amazon.
    If I can answer any more questions, Let me know, I'd love to.

    The instructions in Mix and Match ( the name because it is meant that you can use the mix and match set with all the patterns. I found it really easy to follow the instructions when I did the table topper.

    I disagree with your LQS. I absolutely love my GO, and even if the quilt I want to make is just simple strips or simple squares or whatever, I would never cut them with a rotary cutter. The GO just makes all the fabric pieces go together easier, and quicker, and I have never had to square anything up.

    For borders, sashing, etc. you use the strip cutters. The strip cutters come in 1, 1 1/2, through 4 1/2". I use the smaller ones for sashing, bindings and borders and the biggest one for borders only. You just lay the fabric on the cutter, fan fold it until you have the length you want, and run it through the cutter. I think the strip cutters are the Meat of the GO. I use them more than any of my other cutters.

    I have the Go cutter. I like it for things like charm squares and tumblers, anything that I'm cutting a variety of. I don't use it for every quilt but it comes in handy for certain ones.
