Accuquilt GO Big Fabric Cutter Review (PLUS how to get a bargain!)

Do you have an AccuQuilt Cutter? Which one do you prefer?

I have a Sizzix big shot and cut borders and binding for quilts on my strip dies. Very handy.

I LOVE my AccuQuilt Go Big!! As I have often said I wouldn't be quilting without my Go Big. I have RA in my hands and can't hold a rotary cutter. Yes it's expensive but so are good sewing machines. And you can use the dies for years without wearing them out and the mats last a long time too. AccuQuilt says that there is no problem with the die falling out the other end of the Cutter. It's designed to work that way. Many users make a shelf to catch the Die at the other end. I made mine from a box stuffed with Junk Mail and taped shut. I think the Go Big is the best thing since the rotary cutter. PS I do have a Go Me but I've never used it. It was a freebie but I don't need it

I love my Accuquilt go big. Don’t regret it one bit. It’s awesome!

I bought my Accuquilt GO cutter at the local thrift store. It was new. I paid $100. Never even knew what it was! LOL!

Very informative! Thanks for sharing all the info. Enjoy your cutter!

I really appreciate you showing the details and differences of these cutters. I've been curious about them but don't see them as a necessity. One day I will probably splurge and buy one, and you've given me the info I need to make an informed decision. Thank you 🎉

Thank you. Very informative. Would love to see one of your projects that used the AccuQuilt.

Adorable to listen to your rational to purchase it! We all do this! Thanks for sharing!

I have the baby GO cutter. I put fusible on back of my cuts. Love it

One downfall of the electric happened to my friend. Her electric go had a part go in it. We live in Canada. There is no company/ distributor that is licensed to repair them in Canada. She had to pay to have it shipped to the US to get a small part that was inexpensive and a large price to ship it. She found a bit of a workaround due to being close to the border/ family in the US. I am mixed about buying one. I could use one due to shoulder problems i am currently having. But it is a luxury item. Still sitting on the fence. If a deal came i would grab it. I have used my friends. It is sad that the company does not have service in the countries they are selling them.

Smart buy! Good for you!

I have the Go! Purchased it a few years ago when they offered a bundle.

I love my go big machine. It has made my quilting so much easier. I suffer from ME so I see it as an essential tool. Enjoy your machine. Happy quilting ❤

Great video Thank you. I brought the Go big last year and yes it was expensive but it’s much easier on my shoulder and wrist. I brought a cube set that was on sale but haven’t used it yet but I had to have it 😂😂. If you ever have time I’d love to see you do a video on using a cube set or a quilt made using the cube set 😉 ❤️

Well explained 👍. I’ve got the Accuquilt Go 8”. It’s a bit fiddly with the small pieces but I’ve done a small lap quilt. I don’t mind winding the handle, the electric one is expensive- I’ll have to look for a bargain 😉

I have the Go cutter which I love as I cut 3000 2.5 inch squares on it.

I also have the AQ Go Big, bought second hand a couple of years ago. I'd be lost without it! Last year I bought a job lot of dies for a bargain price. I now have more dies than i will ever use. Much as I love using the machine, I wince at the cost of the cutting mats.

That is for sure, we spend a lot on our hobby. I just bought a brother Stellaire EX 1 embroidery machine with the upgrade EX2 . I’d been wanting an embroidery machine for a long time, I finally got it. Now I need to get a new printer….😂!

I don't have any die cutters. A concern I have about them is the storage requirements of all the dies. For my needs, i think I'll manage with my rotary cutters and collection of pairs of scissors!
