    Thank you everyone for the info, input, birthday wishes and warm welcome!
    I just ordered my GO! from Fabric Hut thru Amazon and I can't wait to get it! I also ordered the 2 1/2 die set.
    I should be getting sometime next week so I'll be stalking the UPS guy starting Monday.
    Now what's going to be my first project.....

    I love my go for cutting the 2 1/2 binding strips and also used the strips to make a memory quilt from a ladys old dresses. it was super to cut the un even pieces of material I was given to work with after riping up the old dresses.

    Love mine, the cutting is accurate and saves time when piecing.

    Hi June, I bought one and sold it and purchased a Big Shot Pro. It uses all Accuquilt dies plus sizzix dies. But it is similar to the Studio, not a portable unit. I'm glad I bought the purple Big Shot Pro, but sometimes wish I hadn't sold by Go. Contact me personally if you have any other questions.

    When I purchase a dye, I purchase a new mat to go with that dye.

    I really love mine and can't imagine cutting without it. I've had it since Christmas. My favorite is probably cutting 2 1/2 inch strips, 1 1/2 strips, 3 1/2 squares, and matching triangles. I also have several dies of various holiday dies for applique that I haven't tried yet. Yes they are expensive but I think you will really enjoy and use it.

    Thanks!

    I like mine. I have cut so many strips I wore out the plastic mat.
