    I bought a gently used Go! (here on the board) and I love it! My bags of scraps are now almost all cut into strips, squares or hst and stored according to size! I bought the Go because I have problems with my thumbs and most days can't use a rotary cutter, but I can use the Go on those bad days.

    I just ordered a Go! Baby, and will pick it up when I go to New York. Got a cutting mat and tumbler template to start out with. Can't wait to give it a try! BY they way, does anyone think the tote bag necessary? Does anyone have one?

    if you are think of buying an Accuquilt machine...and trying to choose which one. The Baby go is very limited to small dies, the Go has more choices and can do up to 8 1/2 inch squares and strip dies. The Studio...it has may more choices and also can cut dies from the Sizzlx with a 25.00 adapter. The studio is on sale for 350.00 on the Accuquilt site. I buy dies from the daily sales...and they have sales all the time...I never pay full price. Love, Love Accuquilt!!!

    I live in The Netherlands, and the Accuquilt products are very expensive here. Since I'll be visiting my home town of New York, I ordered one and had it sent to my mom's house so I can take it back with me. The Go!Baby is already ordered for a nice price of $67.

    Wow - haven't heard of this...but then I try to stay away from reading about new gadgets! Looks really nice....but wow, what a price tag!
