    I have one and all the strip dies plus several others. I hardly use it and am going to sell it. It works fine but it seems a bother to set it up, load it up, and cut when I already have my cutting mat up and can do a few cuts quickly. I might feel different if I had room for it to be up all the time.

    I know people will talk about sales etc but the cost of the dies adds up. I have over $700 invested in this seldom used gadget.

    My BFF has a Studio cutter. I have purchased a couple of dies that "live" at her house. The studio cuts 10 layers at a time. One of my dies is "Take 5". I can cut 10 blocks at a time. The tumbler die lets me cut 80 at one pass. I cut or fold my fabric into strips before I run it through the machine, and have minimal waste. Really speeds up my piecing for charity quilts. I have been cutting some of my odds and ends into strips or nickel squares. Her church sewing group loves to make jelly roll quilts.

But when the dealer (a guild member) calls to say she is delivering it my BFF is going to call me so we can both see how it works. I must admit I am getting a little excited to see it also.

    I have the GO and if I fold my fabric carefully the only waste is slivers/strings.

    I love the GO. I cut out 200 pieces in about 45 minutes. Cant do that with a rotary cutter. I do my strips with a rotary cutter but the shapes are great with the GO

    I too am waiting to hear reports from gals who have used this.

    I'm betting it's the silhouette cameo since it gets hooked up to the computer. There's a new scan n cut machine but I don't think it has to be hooked up to the computer.

    I love my Studio. I had started with the Go and GoBaby, but moved up. Sold the smaller ones, but kept a lot of the dies. I have also bought other mfr dies, since they also work with it.
