Do I need to buy dies separately?

Yes. The starter set includes a few dies, but every other shape needs its own AccuQuilt GO! die. Check which dies come in the set before you buy.

How many fabric layers can it cut at once?

AccuQuilt rates the GO! for multiple layers of quilting cotton, typically up to six, depending on fabric weight and die. Thick fabrics such as denim or batting need fewer layers.

Is it safe for beginners?

Yes. The roller pushes the die through the fabric, so no blade touches your hands. You still need to keep fingers clear of the roller and mat edges.

How does it compare with a rotary cutter?

It is faster and more consistent for repeated shapes, but a rotary cutter and ruler handle any shape and cost far less to start. Many quilters keep both.

Can it cut materials other than fabric?

AccuQuilt lists fabric as the main material. Some dies are rated for felt or batting, but check the die's instructions before cutting anything else.

How big is it and can I store it?

It is about 17 by 15.5 inches with a 10-inch cutting width and weighs around 15 lbs. The carrying handle and compact footprint make it easy to move and store.
