Great shop, generous nice lady.....

thank you for mentioning this. I have had people ask if they could rent out my Accuquilt Studio machine (which is in my home) and I haven't known what to charge. $10-15 sounds reasonable.

thanks!

Can someone give a quick synopsis of how the Studio version is different than the other one available?

Rose, I'd pay that much I think.

I've not seen the GO! machine in person, buy my Studio machine is VERY heavy/industrial strength. The dies are more expensive (I have purchased over $10,000 myself!). I would only recommend someone get the Studio if they plan to make money with it or have won the lottery.

The big difference is the amount of material that you can cut at one time. The home version will cut 6 layers of material at once and I'm not sure, but I think the Pro does 10. Alex Anderson has a video clip where her and Ricky Timms(?) shows the difference.

Isn't it amazing that something teachers used in school to cut letters and shapes has now become a quilters item.
