    Afternoon Sassyg!

    I also love it for cutting the 2 1/2" strips; however, have you had any issues with them not cutting the ends? I end up having to use my rotary cutter to finish the job. I MUST be doing something wrong, but can't find anything on line about it. They are supposed to be continuous strips, but mine end up being half (the same length as the die)

I found that I like the most(b-quilt .com) on this site there is a blog and videos you can watch...very good. Also I've found that if you go to quilting warehouse site and print out their prices for the dies and mats, you can then take that to Joann's and they will match their prices.

    I love mine, but I have trouble w/ turning the crank due to arthritis & scleroderma...talked to them at IQF-Houston about coming up w/ a motor attachment. I get my family to run the fabric thru once in a while...really hope they do add a motorized attachment.
    You can buy dies on Amazon and check out Accucut, A sister Co. that makes dies for paper, they work on fabric too.

    Thats a good idea you came up with about a motorized attachment. Have you tried the other dies made specifically for paper? I have been curious about it and if they would work too?

    I just ordered mine and I must pass this on. Amazon.com (you wont believe it) has accuquilt go , not baby, for (are you sitting down) $195. Better yet (are you still sitting) Free Shipping. It is at home waiting for my return from being a snow bird in South Carolina....Can't wait to get my material on it.~Terry in michigan

    If you cut your fabric just a little big larger than the die you will not have much waste and it is so much faster , if interested in the cutter I have a brand new one for sale.It is not mine, I would not sell mine, just love it and the cutting is so much more accurate.

    I don't mind the waste left by the Go! cutter because I use the strips to make pretty string blocks! You can see four of them in the photo below with some other scrappy blocks:
