Would not trade my Go for all the tea in China. Love, love, love it. I am not an accurate cutter so this has saved me many times.

Not worth it for me either. I've had it since shortly after it came out and I've only used it a few times for cutting out shapes for a wall-hanging. The one really good use we had for it was cutting out paper butterflies to be used in our son's wedding this past Saturday. Cutting out 125 by hand would have been really difficult.

I have the go and like the few dies I have, but find the cost of the dies makes it hard to buy many. Of course I am on a fixed income and retired, so if you can afford them it's great. If not it's a waste.

My vision is not the best for accuracy so I use the dies and they save time, money, stress. Have the electric Go now and keep it set up ready to go at all times.

I bought my ACQ cutter back in 2009 and have not regretted it at all. Strip dies do a lot more than cutting just strips. Turn the strips crosswise and you can cut perfect squares, for example. There are helpful YouTube and video tutorials online. I now have osteoarthritis in both my hands (worse on the right hand) and recently sold the ACQ cutter and ordered the electric version (Go BIG). It is supposed to arrive by tonight. Dies can be purchased for less...check Joann Fabrics online for their periodic deals....once they had some on sale at 50% off. Hope it happens again for others. EBay and Amazon can have some good prices, too. I have been to a few quilt vendor shows where dies are sometimes discounted by vendors.

I have the GO Big Electric and it is absolutely worth it.

I was just gifted with a CriCut, and plan to use it first to cut out heavy paper hexes for a hand made quilt I want to do, but I have no idea what else I can do with it....

I love my Go!, including the strip cutters. As Paper Princess wrote (post #5), the accuracy is the main reason. But last year I suffered a badly broken right arm right at the top of the humerus and had to have surgery. Since then it has been difficult for me to cut strips because of the stretching to cut WOF, something that had never bothered me before. I bless the strip cutters now!

PaperPrincess and nanacc this is exactly the reason I have started hinting to my DH that I sure would like to have an electric cutter for my bday and Christmas (they are 5 days apart). The accuracy is what I would like to have.

I have it and love it. Made such a difference in getting everything cut perfect. Would never have made Grandmothers flower garden without it. Have about 10 dies and would love to have more. Worth every dime.
