Thank you very much, Norma. Very good of you! Korsør is not impossible if we bring the car as we would try to visit Sjælland although our main stay would be in Jylland. Would be fun to visit a Danish Patchwork shop though. Not something I usually get a chance to do when we go there.Originally posted by Zarah

An extra tip about the Big Shot die cutter and Sizzix dies...
It's true that the Sizzix dies are used a lot for cutting paper, but I always check the description for each die to be sure it could cut multiple types of materials, i.e, FABRICS, metallics, papers, etc. Patsy demos cutting 6 layers of "fused" fabrics with her Big Shot cutter on her web tutorial. This is a fun little cutter!Comment

I am handicapped and when my husband and I were doing the research on both he felt that the studio was the better one to buy. It has a longer warranty and it is a much better built. The Studio will last you a lifetime. I love it, it cuts great and now you can also use the dies from the Go on it so it is like getting two in one. You won't be sorry no matter which one you buy.Comment

I see in Patsy's video that you can use AccuQuilt dies with the Sizzix machine. Does anyone know whether you can use Sizzix dies with the AccuQuilt machines?

According to Patsy, you cannot use Sizzix dies with an AccuQuilt machine because the Sizzix dies are deeper. But this may depend on the die since I think some of the depths differ. Following that advice, I originally got a Sissix die cutter. But I found the Sizzix kind of awkward to use so I ended up getting an AccuQuilt cutter also. But I don't use either much, so the Sissix might get better after some practice. Just know that to use AccuQuilt dies with the Sissix, you need to cut a piece of cardboard to include in the layers to get the width you need to make the cuts.

Thanks, Nancy. That's too bad, because I like the Sizzix dies I've seen, and have wondered whether they'll work in my Go Baby.
