Question 1

What size cutting mat comes with the Go

Accepted Answer

The mat that comes with the Go is 6" x 12".  We bought this as a group of quilters and we have just enjoyed the heck out of it.  Accurate cuts every time.  Each of us buys the dies we like, and everyone can use them.  If you have quilting friends, this is the way to "Go" to cut down the cost!

Question 2

how long does the accuquilt stay sharp and what do you do when it gets dull?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the fabric, the mfg. says the dies are good for 100-200 cuts. Keep in mind, that's six layers of normal cotton fabric. After that, they have to be replaced. The Accuquilt machine itself has no sharp edges, and doesn't get dull.

Question 3

How long does the mat last? Also, are there any other additional parts or replacements needed as time and wear continue?

Accepted Answer

I would say the mats that go over the dies would last for 4 or 5 quilts. one thing you can turn them over and around so even if you are cutting out the same shape say a Apple Core or Square you will have cut marks on different places.  Also you will want to have the mat more or less match you die.  there is one that is 20  by 10 it think and one that 10 by 10 and one that is about 5 by 10 or something like that.  One lady I know used a old rotary mat she cut up.  As far as I know the rest of the machine is basically pretty wear resistant. It reminds me of an old hand crank ringer on an old washing tub.  Of course I am older than dirt so others may not remember them.

Question 4

What size is the die that comes in this kit and what size are the cut pieces?

Accepted Answer

I don't remember mine coming with any dies.  But if it did it would have been the standard 4 1/2 ", 2 1/2" squares and 2 1/2 in triangles as I do have that die.
