I have had an Accuquilt Go! Baby Cutter to play around with for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say that it's a handy contraption! It's quick, it's easy and it's accurate.
At first I was cutting too many layers (so typical of me!) and I had cut it down to about 4-8 layers (depending on the type of fabric used), but as soon I did that, all was well. The squares for Danika's quilt were cut out in quick order! I used the 5" square:
(Many thanks to my somewhat-willing quilt holders!)
I found that if I placed the fabric on the cutter just right, there was very little waste. A tiny bit more than cutting with a rotary cutter and mat, but the time saved was well worth the small amount. There were generally a few threads that needed to be cut on each pass through, but (again) it was well worth the time the cutter saved me.
I have a hexagon and a tumbler die just waiting to be used. My DS prints will be cut with the tumbler die (picture coming soon) and I am thinking of reds with linen for the hexagons. Still thinking on that one...
