    Hey, I am a lurker and thought I would jump in here.
    I just bought the GO cutter. I was looking to buy some dies. I looked at Sewnvac but I don't see where you can buy dies. I can only find vacuums and sewing machines. Thanks

    It's a great tool. My wish list includes the 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 strip cutters.

    the Grandmark AccuCut machine is the exact same as the AccuQuilt Studio. If that is the one that you purchased you'll be able to use Studio dies on it. And if you purchase an adapter you can also use GO dies. There is also an adapter you can get to use Sizzix Bigz dies.

    Hope that helps.

    I love mine so much that I bought a second one for our winter house in AZ. The new one's handle is SO much easier to turn. I wonder if they figured out something new?

    So many of you Accuquilt lovers have mentioned buying dies on Ebay. I've never used Ebay. Please educate me about the bidding system. You've said that you buy the dies at much better prices than the discounts on the Accuquilt & JHittle sites = and I'm really interested now that I have 2 AQs to buy for!

    I have been hesitating to get one too. At first it seemed very expensive for what you get. That was when I worked full time and didn't have alot of time for quilting. I'm starting to re think my position on that! Tired of cutting, cutting, cutting!!!! For the common sizes it would definately worth it.

    There is a Yahoo group devoted to the GO! and I also have had great success with a seller who gives a 35% discount on
    the GO! dies. If interested, I'll share the web addresses. No affiliation, just a happy customer who cannot afford the Accuquilt prices unless they are having a deep sale. BTW it sounds like you are looking for a multidie for your squares. The retailer also has contacts to make custom dies, if Accuquilt does not manufacturer what you want.
