This would be a GREAT Christmas gift, IMO. Yes, the dies are expensive up front, but I can't tell you how much time I have saved with mine. I am poor with my rotary cutter. I wish I wouldn't be able to remember how much material I have wasted when I was cutting and my ruler "moved". Ugh! I find the long 2.5" strips incredibly helpful

And just think....he then has ideas for birthday and other event presents, too, then! Good luck!

Thanks. I splurged on the Stripology ruler a little while back, so until I get a GO!, I'll make strips with it. Not tried it yet but it's supposed to be more accurate, more productive, and not move around.

I have cut 3 queen sized quilts with that die. Cutting paper hasn't hurt them. However I have bent blades by cutting too many layers at a time. I now have 2 of this die. One of them I bent the paper blade (small hexi) the other I bent the fabric one (middle hexi) both times I was cutting 8 or more layers, so my fault. And I cut crate all boxes for my hexis, so I really put it to the test.To me it is well worth the $35.
