I am sure by now when you hear the name “Carolyn” you know we are talking about the sweet AccuQuilt “Go” lady!!
How very lucky that I have the opportunity to share my experiences with you about this marvelous machine.
I, however am going to share my experience from a different point of view. I think we all know the wonderful advantages that come from owning an AccuQuilt “Go” :
Fast
Simple to use
Great for scrap-busting
All types of fabrics can be used including cotton, flannel, fleece, wool and denim.
Multiple layers of fabric can be cut at one time
Exact cutting
Strip cutters so there are no more “V” .…
So many dies to choose from and more on the way
Compact and easy to store
And many more…
BUT…...
I want to talk about another reason the “Go” is amazing.
Many of my long time followers already know of my eye site problems. I have partial eye loss in my left eye. I have been told it will get worse. Such is life!! Because of this, my depth perception is off. Yes, I drive, read, sew, knit, and can work on my computer.
BUT when I sew for others it is a challenge!
A challenge to cut the pieces straight.
A challenge to cut the pieces the same size.
A challenge to make a block that will not take me hours, so it will be perfect.
Circles, or other intricate designs, not a chance!
If the cutting is off the pieces will not match, plain and simple!
My family accepts my limitations and love my quilts whether the match or not,

I know I can do better!!
