You must have the patience to applique. Bless you ! I used to tie quilts off..but have been watching the stitching here and it is beautiful.. I have trouble with my right hand and know I can't do it hand sewing though. Can't afford the machine that does it but see some people use their regualar sewing machine. I didnt even realize that was an option. Gets more exciting each day I read new things here!

hmm Ok nice to know. I heard they were good for about a year..So much for that thought! thankyou!

I've gotten the best prices on dies from cricket's quilts on ebay. She also runs a yahoo group called Accuquilt Divas.

[quote=Donna Mare]The GO isn't here yet but it will be in a few days. I've been on the internet trying to find some decent buys on a few dies to save shipping money and guessing what I might need. The machine comes with
Square 4 1/2
Half square 2 1/2 inch. Both finish a half inch less.

Purchasing

Half Square 3 inch finished Triangle 27.84

Chisels 27.99

I have purchased some dies and mats recently from worldweidnerco on ebay. Their prices were the best I could find. Better than Accuquilt. Postage to Australia was very reasonable. They are in Blackwell Oklahoma. Hope this helps.

Make sure you invest in a walking foot if you are going to quilt on an ordinary machine. Without this little treasure it can be quite disappointing. Can't quote a price as I'm in Australia and things are more expensive down here.
I have quilted every quilt I've made on a home sewing machine. Nothing too fancy, mainly SID or echo quilting.

Certain dies eat thru the mats faster than others.. My rag rug dies are the hardest on my mats.. but I try to alternate the dies with the mats so the cuts are all over the mat .. As for them lasting a year it really depends on how often your use your Go.. I love my machine.. I hope you do to..


As for the O'lipfa Rulers they are just acrylic rulers with a lip on the edge to keep flush with my cutting mat.. I have quite a few of different sizes.. 2.5x18, 3x18, 3.5x24, 4x14, 5x24 are just some..

Can you tell me what these rulers are ? I did a search on them but didn't find them. The strips are $70 and up. I am looking for alternatives. Thank you !
