And they are fabulous for flying geese. Here is what it looks like. This is made using 2 different dies. Perfect geese every time.

peaceandjoy is the difference between the Go and the
Baby Go just the size of what it will cut??

Here are some things I made with my GO and Baby if the Die was small

Roseysue

The difference between the GO and BABY GO is that the GO is 10 inches wide at the opening and the BABY is 6 inches. The GO has a low, short handle (I find it kinda hard to turn)
The BABY has a larger handle and for me easier to turn and the cutter is smaller too.
All the dies up to six inches will fit the BABY, you need the GO for above that.
Up until now all the strips were 10 inches wide, but I just saw a strip cutter 6"x24" which will fit the BABY.

Of course you need a mat for each respective die.
One - 5x10, 6x12, 6x6, 6x24, 10x10, 10x24. You only need a mat if you have a die for that particular size.

That's a real nice Flying geese. Aren't they really easy and accurate to do? I just love it!

DH just ordered me a go. With it came a mat and a 4-1/2, 2-1/2 and several triangles dies. Then I ordered a 6-1/2,square a 6-1/2 triangle and a 3-1/2 die and a 10x10 mat. I primarily want to do flying geese, nine patch, Jacobs Ladder. Thanks ladies for all the imput.

On your Value die ( the one with the triangles on it)
-those are half square - you will find that one really nice if you need 2" finished half square triangles.

You can go on the Accuquilt.com site and to the GO site
and print out a "Cutting Equilivalents Chart" which will help in converting a regular pattern into using your accuquilt GO.

If you can't find it, PM me and I can help you. Sue

I placed my order from shoppersrule and it was the hardest thing to do to spend that $$$ for it. I am excited though.
I went with the baby on the promise if I like it my hubby will buy me the go and strip dies in May after our vacation.
I went with the 5" square, 2" square, 3 1/5 tumbling block, and the sharon rose collection.

Roseysue

I think you will like the BABY, especially since they are coming out with the strip cutters for the BABY - 2 1/2" which is the most popular one for binding, etc. I think. And other dies for that size. Did you get it yet crochtetc?

You will be hugging yourself over and over as you use it and see how great it is. Depending on what you are making

- I am doing some squares for swaps right now and seem to have a lot of half square triangles. I am making two 12" blocks at once, all 3" half square triangles and four squares.
(I will post them when I'm done-tonite) I cut them out in 15 min,. And the first square is done. (I am able to do a lot of chain sewing this way - goes much faster)

I just stopped to eat and will get back shortly.
