I'm thinking about hinting at one for Christmas, and I want to know what everyone thinks about them. Is there a lot of waste? Is one better than the other? The main thing I want to do is cut up scraps into manageable sizes, tumbler blocks, etc. I only do applique on small projects, and I don't know that I foresee myself doing a whole lot of it in the near future, so that's not a factor. Suggestions on good dies to start with?

I like my GO. I can cut strips in a fraction of the time. What you get depends on what you do the most; strips or shapes.

I probably won't do a lot of strips, I'm more interested in small squares, the tumbler blocks, diamonds, and HST's. I am looking at a quilt pattern that has lots...and lots of 2 1/2" squares, and I just don't have the time to dedicate to cut so many squares.

You'll love it for cutting scraps - and you'll gradually figure out how to reduce waste to almost nothing. Look for the tutes on YouTube.
It's 'stiff' at first, but after you've used it for a while, it 'rolls' easier and easier. Don't give up!!!
