    You don't need endless funds to have a Accuquilt and dies. If that was the case no one would have one. Watch for sales and resell dies. My sew group all have an Accuquilt and we share dies. Start with a BOB die. Those have been my favorites of all the dies. All the shapes are cut for the block, no recutting needed from a strip or square.

    I am another Accuquilt fan. Bought the GO at the Road to CA show 9 years ago. My first dies were the 2.5 in. strip die, the 1.5 in. strip die, and the small and large tumblers. They are still going strong. And the other selling point is the speed. A friend and I cut out the Double Wedding Ring pieces for a king size quilt in just over an hour. And it was the one where the arcs are pieced. She ironed and starched the fabric and I ran it thru the cutter. And since I have an embroidery machine it cuts out my appliqué pieces too. I could go on but I recommend you watch some of the videos. Yes, there is a lot of selling doing on - they have a product to sell - but I have not regretted buying it ever.

    I just bought one in the Cyber Monday sales and it arrived this week. Today, I used it for the first time and it was very easy to set up and start using. It worked flawlessly and created such lovely, accurate triangles. I needed 240 triangles and couldn't believe how quickly I got them done and how easy it was to sew them together and the units did not need any trimming! Obviously I can't comment on longevity, but the learning curve was easy and I found it very easy to use the manual crank (very smooth).

    Absolutely Love my Go Big Accuquilt cutter-over time I have collected almost all the strip dies because that's what I use the most. Accuquilt has changed my quilting, I now am able to do patterns I would have never thought to tackle before due to all the cutting. I watch a lot of the on line live classes & have gotten some very good deals. It can be a little pricy first getting started but that's where you have to decide just how much you think you will use it. I have no regrets with mine.

    Default Accuquilt experience

    Here's what I've done so far with my new Go Big and the one cutter that was included. The plan is to get the scraps under control and so far I think this is going to work. Four days of sorting, cutting, and sewing resulted in this so far.

    I'm going to call this one "I Will Cut You"

    The sashing fabric is little scissors, haha.
