- What comes in the starter set?
- The GO! cutter, a value die with 4-1/2" and 2-1/2" squares and a 2" finished half-square triangle, and a 6" x 12" cutting mat. That is enough to cut basic squares and half-square triangles right away.
- How many layers can it cut?
- Up to six layers of quilting cotton at once. Thicker fabrics such as flannel or denim need fewer layers, and AccuQuilt lists recommended layer counts per die.
- Do I need to buy other dies?
- Only if you want shapes beyond the included squares and triangles. The machine takes more than 200 GO! dies, and each die is matched to a specific mat size.
- Does it need power or software?
- No. It is a manual machine with a hand crank, so it works anywhere without electricity or a computer.
- How does it compare with a rotary cutter?
- It is faster and more accurate for cutting many identical shapes, and easier on the hands. A rotary cutter is quicker for a single strip or a one-off cut and needs no dies.
- Is it hard to store?
- It weighs about 15 lbs and stands upright, so it fits on a shelf or in a closet. The mats and dies need their own flat storage.
