I got the go for Christmas and love it. It was ordered from Amozon.com and it will take you to a sight called fabric hut. It was the best price that we found.
I have had to return two of them because they broke. The people at fabric hut are very nice and good to exchange for you. The gentalman I spoke with thinks he got a bad batch in and even called the company that makes them to see what is going on. I do love the go and can cut a lot of pieces with it. The dies are expensive but well worth it for me. I have a hard time keeping things straight.

I use mine for apple core and tennessee waltz because cutting those from templates would drive me insane. I tried to cut stamps from scraps but found it easier to use the rotary cutter for those. I have now cut two complete kits and the top piece is worn out.

I just finished a pin wheel quilt that I cut out with my Accuquilt Studio. It was such a wonderful experience sewing perfectly cut HST. And I love cutting strips for boarders! It was very expensive but I don't regret it at all! As careful as I try to cut with a template or ruler, it always slides. And you can cut out about 10 layers at one time. I cut some 2 1/2 strips for my sister in law really quickly and they were all accurate. The reason I bought the Studio model was because it is better quality. You can also get dies on E-bay or watch for sales at Accuquilt. I never pay full price.

I've been trying to make the same decision but concerned that the dies are so expensive. But I know with my shaky hands it would probably be a lifesaver on certain days. I would probably only get the strips and squares dies because I can alway applique on my embroidery machine.

I just love mine. Cutting was always difficult for me and the difference is awesome. I have just started adjusting patterns so that they will work on the accuquilt- just so I know the results will be accurate. The piecing is so much more fun when everything goes together just right! Yes, it was pricey, but when I think of how much fabric I wasted (and the frustration!), it is sooo worth it. Ebay and Amazon are great for good prices.
