I would check out the Sizzix big shot pro!

I also like the white mats since you can see through them to Fussy cut. The gray mats are so bad..I may post a picture later to show you what I mean...and they crack. I will be on the search for more white mats this weekend.

I recently bought my Go for 199 at Joann's. So far I've just used the die that came with it and I can tell that with use that I'll go through those mats like paper...even with turning & flipping. I do think that I'm going to like it. I just have to save some money for more dies. The first one that I'm going to get is the 2 1/2" strip. Also, looking at the rag dies. Actually, I guess I have my eye on a lot of different dies.

I love the 6 1/2 inch, Tumbler, 5 inch and strip dies

I was just considering to buy it last night then read some reviews which changed my mind...some gave it low ratings saying you waste allot of fabric...the dies don't stay as sharp after a certain no of cuts and it's hard to turn handle to get all the stuff thru...?

My sister and I have the pro. We split the price and keep it at her house. We bought it just before they came out with the "Go". We love it, it is precise, and it is quick. I think you cant go wrong with which ever one you purchase.

I would disagree...very little waste of fabric...they are not cutting it correctly...only hard to turn handle if you put to much fabric in. I love the GO...no issues with the dies not being sharp and Accuquilt will replace if you have any issue. The customer service at Accuiquilt is Outstanding! I have no regrets buying the GO and now also own the Studio...I do not spend my money on wasteful things...and I love the GO and Studio worth every penny....

So where do you find the white mats? Does Joann's carry them? My new Go came with a gray mat and after using it just a few times I can see that it isn't going to last long at all. Although, the mats are not expensive, if you have to buy new ones all the time then it seems to me that it will get expensive.

Some of the Joann stores sell them...the online store sold me the gray cheap crappy ones...trust me...you do not want the gray ones...junk mats...you want the see through white mats. I need to write to Accuquilt and tell them how crappy the gray ones are...really bad!
