Lots of luck,

There is another aspect not mentioned here that is a consideration. The backing pieces which stop the dies when they go through the fabric WEAR OUT and have to be replaced. While I don't use mine a lot, I have worn one of my backing pieces out already!
I do have the Drunkard's Path die and I think when I get around to that project (LOL), I might appreciate having it more. But I don't think I am going to invest in the strip dies at this point. . .

I bought the hard to cut dies first, dresden, appliques, drunkards path, weding ring, etc. I have done quilts I would never have attempted because the difficult cutting is easy with the Accuquilt GO. One suggestion is to break in your dies by cutting only 2 layers at a time, even though you can do 6 layers I wouldn't try it with that many layers at first.
