    Default Just bought an acuquilt go... yikes!!!

    I just spent $200 on an acuquilt go cutter. I soooo hope I don't regret it. My husband talked me into buying it. I work 50+ hours a week so hopefully this will allow me to make more quilts.

    Does anybody know if they make a die 1-1/2" squares or do you use the strips then cut them????
    Any hints on using it would be great.
    Thank you,
    Judy

    I also bought one this past weekend. I really want to use the strip dies. I have not taken mine out of the box yet.

    That's on my Christmas/Birthday list. I can't wait for the 21st and/or 25th. The first new die I get will be the 2 1/2" strip cutter!

    I love mine! I use my 2 1/2" strip cutter a-lot. I also used the tumbler block die for my tumbler block terry cloth quilt back. (Don't use terry cloth!) I plan on using the applique dies I have as soon as I get past the projects I have going. (9 or more WIPs going now)

    They do make a 1.5" die for the Studio. I'm not sure which machine you have, you can always use the live chat feature and ask an employee on their website.

    I just got the baby go, I want to use it for the applique shapes. I hope I'm not going to regret not getting the go-cutter.
