    You mean the Accuquilt Go!? There have been quite a few threads about it. Try using the "search" option at the top of the screen.

    I have one and like it, especially for triangles and strip cutting (although I can strip cut about as fast using a Shape Cut mat).

    I got one as a gift from DH for Christmas, so far I like it real well, I have yet to cut fabric for a quilt. I have been doing binding mostly.

    I have the Go and really like it. I use it mostly for cutting strips.

    I have the studio and love it. Much sturdier than the plastic go.
    Also, I bought mine new and bought the pkg deal. It amounted to buying the machine for $215.00 when you broke down each item that was included....Can't go wrong!

    Do you guys think that there is a lot of waste of fabric with the Accuquilt and Accuquilt GO? It seems like there would be.

    search the threads on QB for more info about the newer systems and dies out on the market from Ellison/Sizzix! Much more value for your money!

    I have owned my GO from the early beginning and love it. You can cut your fabric a little bigger before you place it on the die and run it through the GO. Check YouTube Ebony Love. She has done quite a few videos on using the GO or the Studio. It saves a lot of time and the Accuquilt website has lots of good information.
