    Check Amazon.com They were 229.00 there just a day or two ago! I have arthritis and carpal tunnel and rotary cutting was killing me. I love my GO! There is also a Yahoo group for support and that bunch of guys and gals are awesome!

    I have the Go and absolutely love it. It is fast, more accurate than doing it by hand and I can clean up leftovers and cut them into the scraps I want better and faster than ever.

    I bought mine for a Christmas present to myself. Now I buy a die set for my Birthday, Mother's Day, Anniversary, Valentine's Day, and Christmas. DH loves the fact he doesn't have to shop for me a present. I order and say Thank You for my gift and bake him a blueberry pie. He's happy.

    I also have been looking at the go in chattanooga quilt shops but too pricey. I went to ebay and bought a brand new one with somes dies for $250. I think that is the best place to buy one. Now I am going to have to wait and find good buys on the other dies I would llike. Probably get new equipment by the time I can buy a variety and my go will be outdated. ha

    I got mine from shoppersrule.com They are having a sale on the dies right now. I must say when used it is great! but since I don't have many dies I really don't get much use out of it. As you say they are expensive, so I can only get one every now and then.

    Brother Quattro sews accurate 1/4 inch - or any seam width you choose - with NO hands guiding the fabric! Too bad it costs so much! It was demo-ed at a Sit and Sew by the dealer here in Tucson, and I was drooling. That's just one of MANY eye-boggling things it can do. It has a built-in camera (yes, a camera) that enables exact embroidery placement no matter how bad you are at hooping. Too bad I can't afford one right now!

    Roberta it would also help if there were some kind of machine that would iron and fold. Then we would have it made.

    If you use a 40 or 50% off coupon at JoAnn Fabrics, the dies are much more reasonable priced. My next on is the rag quilt square that cuts all the fringes.

    My Joann's excludes Accuquilt cutters and dies from their coupons...[/quote]

    I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I read on their yahoo group that Accuquilt has now said coupons can be used on their products. Does anyone know if this is true?
