    I know you have the electric GO.....do you find you use it more than the hand one now? Does it take more thicknesses? Do you keep it set up? Do you honestly think it is worth the price? I am toying with the idea, but when I really analyze it....I keep h/c GO on a shelf and pull it out when I need it, along with whatever die I need at the time.....just wondering.....

    I also have the big shot from Sizzix which is also h/c and have supplemented some dies with theirs....I do like their product(s) too.....

    I have the Go Big and the regular Go. I use the Go Big with the large dies made for it for most of the small dies I use the regular Go. I have a six foot table set up that holds the Go and my dies. The Go I'm not using at the time sets under the table. I also have the Go Baby but my DD borrowed it and I'll probably not get it back. She fuses applique shapes on grands tee shirts.

    Oh, if you want to make your Go crank much easier: DH took my Go apart (super easy) and replaced the bearings on the rollers with new heavier ones. It cranks like butter now. The bearings cost about $4 each. My Go was one of the first ones so I don't know if the newer ones have the same parts.

    Thanks for sharing. I've had mine a while but don't remember how long. I will take it apart and check it out.
