  • In Love with The Accuquilt Go Me Fabric Cutter Even More After 2 Years

HOW DO YOU MAKE A TINY PORTABLE CUTTING SYSTEM ALSO A WORKHORSE?

Accuquilt did it with their small Go Me Fabric cutting machine.  Considering its small size and lighter weight, it can also cut like a big boy.  It is only big enough to use Accuquilt Go dies that are either 5 or 6 inches wide but will accommodate dies that are the long 6x24 inch size.  That means there are close to 300 dies that work with it!

The Go Me is the least expensive machine option for starting to use Accuquilt dies.  But you don’t need to be new to Accuquilt to love this little guy. 

I have been using my original Go cutter for over 10 years, and my huge electric Go Big machine for almost 9 years, but I now often reach for my newer Go Me cutter. 

I love it when I just need to do a small cutting job, or when I want to leave it set up for a longer cutting project (sometimes it takes me a while to make all the final block or fabric choices) but don’t want to spare the tabletop space of a bigger machine for a long time.

DIMENSIONS

When folded up for storage, this machine measures 12.5 (including handle) x 4.5 x 8.25 inches; when open for business, it is 17 x 12.5 (including handle) x 8.25 inches.  A nicely compact size. 

Since it weighs only 8.5 pounds, you can easily carry it around the house or take it with you to sewing retreats, quilting bees, or over to a friend’s house to help tackle a big cutting job.

This machine is about half the size of the original Go cutter and weighs about 15 pounds less than the Go Big cutter.

DIE COMPATIBILITY

One of the nice features of the Accuquilt Go Me fabric cutter is its compatibility with the number of Accuquilt Go dies you can use with it.  It can use dies measuring:

  • 5x10 inches
  • 6x6 inches
  • 6x12 inches
  • 6x24 inches

That is currently over 200, and close to 300 dies!  I mean really, what good is a great cutter if you don’t have a lot of dies to choose from?  No problem with that here.

These dies come in all types, shapes, and sizes, allowing you to unleash your creativity and explore designs to your heart’s content. Whether you're looking to create whimsical appliqué patterns, precisely pieced quilt blocks, or anything in between, the Go Me cutter can handle it all.

Simply choose the desired die, place it on the cutting surface, add fabric and mat, and easily roll the die through the machine. The Go Me cutter effortlessly cuts through multiple layers of fabric, giving you accurate and uniform pieces for your quilting projects.

EASE OF CUTTING

This compact machine may be small in size, but it packs a punch when it comes to precision and ease of use.

Just like the bigger machines, rolling the die under the roller is easy, and you can still cut up to 6 layers of fabric in one pass.  Every piece is precisely cut.

Its smaller size also makes it ideal for teaching your child to quilt.  It is cute and not intimidating at all.  If you also have some dies with simple shapes or cute appliques you both will enjoy creating together while you pass on your love of sewing and quilting.

Personally, I have given three of my granddaughters their own Go Me cutter.  They were all immediately enthralled.  Of course, Grandma’s rule was that they needed to let Mom or Dad know whenever they wanted to use it. 

They can’t really hurt themselves with the machine – there is nothing sharp on or in it.  But the dies do have sharp cutting edges and I wanted to make sure Mom or Dad knew where the younger siblings were when the dies were being used.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the Accuquilt Go Me fabric cutter is the perfect companion for quilters seeking convenience, portability, and precision in a compact package. Its small size makes it ideal for personal use and smaller quilting projects.

With its compatibility with a wide range of Accuquilt dies, the Go Me cutter offers endless possibilities for creating beautiful quilt designs. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced quilter, the Accuquilt Go Me fabric cutter simplifies the cutting process, saves you time, and allows you to focus on bringing your quilting ideas to life.
