SYork Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 On another site, I read about a new cutter that will take Go dies and the Studio dies (and I think others). It is supposed to be about $50.00 higher than the Go but much cheaper than the Studio. I wish I would have waited before purchasing the Go.

cjtinkle Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 You're going to love it Kristina! I've a decent amount of dies, but by far my most used ones are the strip cutters. Bindings anyone? But you can cut your strips, then turn the strips sideways and cut again for a gazilion perfect squares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 i didn't get the strip cutter as i prefer my bindings cut to 1-3/4" for single fold. i also use alot of bias bindings! i think i can cut my own strips easier...but i could be wrong.

PamelaA Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have a studio model and really enjoy having it. I have purchased a lot of dies but the ones used the most are the one and a half inch strip, the two and a half inch strip, and the take five block. I used the later block to cut up scrap fabrics a quilt group to which I belong wanted to use for charity quilts. They loved the ease at putting the blocks together as the cutting was all consistent.

mrsbishwit Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Kristina, The tumblers dies your kids will love, the quilts come together so quick and easy. Plus they are dogged eared so there is no shifting or guessing for the pieces to match up right. I also like the drunkards path dies, very quick to cut out. Other good dies to help tame your stash is 5" square, and the 2 1/2" strips for charm and jelly roll quilts. And also the rag dies are great for the kids to do charity quilts. Your summer will be so productive and fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYork Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Coleen, Here is the link to see the cutter: http://www.sizzix.com/product/2113 It was discussed on the pinsandneedles yahoo site. The dies are cheaper than the studio and go dies. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srichardson Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I just received this e-mail advertising a sale on the GO cutter and dies. It is less expensive than buying from the Accuquilt site. http://www.shoppersrule.com/c/ACCUQUILT/index.html Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYork Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 You are supposed to be able to use both the Go and Studio dies on this cutter. I don't know for sure how many layers that it will cut. The gal is going to use one and let everyone know. She is going to be a dealer for them. I will let you know if I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
