I have the Accuquilt Go and like it,but do find that you have a bit more fabric waste than with the rotary cutter and ruler but it is very accurate and sometimes the rotary cutter is not. Well, maybe the person doing the cutting is not so accurate!!!

I like mine except for the hexagone - it would have been better to have two large ones on it -then 3 and each one is smaller. Since you cut so many, I believe had they been separated it would have gone faster. Sewing them together is a real headache. So I cut each one in half and ended up sewing only straight lines. It went so much faster. For the small Baby I did buy the small strip 2 1/2 in. die and that is great. I cut the material 5 1/2 strips and put them very carefully on the dies and really dont mind the little bit of waste I get. I also would buy the large one but will work with the baby Go for now. - J

Thanks, I just ordered the 2 1/2 strip die that cuts 3 and I ordered the cutting mat. Your right, Amazon is cheaper. Cost 74. there and would of been 102. at accuquilt. Plus they ship in a few days. Excited to get and try it out.

I have the Go Baby and love it! I told mu DH I would like to have the larger one so I can use some of the other dies. You will enjoy it.

I love mine! It saves my hands and shoulders a lot of wear and tear ... and all my cute are perfecto! The dies can be pricey but I have found all of mine on sale, or with coupons etc.

I have the go not the baby and I love it. It's so worth it. It does more than the baby so take that into consideration. Go to accuquilt's web site and compare them to see what each does. I'd buy it again.

Up to 6, depending on the weight of the fabric - and I cut pieces that will be sew together right sides together, so I can just pick them up and sew.

The one you are looking at is the Baby Go,, and is smaller and does not do the things that the regular GO does.
I have the regular one and I am very happy with it. It does cut accurately.
If you measure your fabric on the cutting die you will not have as much waste.
Hope this helps.
