  I've definitely heard about it and like it on FB, but really, that's more hoping to score a free one than anything. 
  

  I'm personally not really interested in buying one.  If I really wanted to make a tumbler quilt, or an apple core quilt, I'd definitely consider it.  It does seem very useful for some of those odd shapes that can be just miserable to cut.  Heck, I see they have the dies for making a double-wedding ring quilt, and my goodness, if I were ever to do one of those, it would be extremely useful.

  BUT, I would find it annoying I think to cut squares or strips or triangles.  I could do those much faster and with much less waste with my rotary cutter.  I honestly think those dies are best for the elderly or disabled quilters who find it hard to cut with a rotary cutter anymore.

  The only use I'd see for those square templates would really be to just clean up all my scraps into 1 size of square.  I imagine with scraps I don't care about waste so much, and would certainly go through those faster with the Go cutter than with rotary cutter.

  As for the applique shapes, I think I'd just find them limiting.  If they had a system where I could design my own shapes, then I'd be all over it.

   

  And of course you also have to think about the cost of all the dies and not just the machine.  They get expensive, and fast!

   

  And definitely get sewing again!  Its too much fun to let it go to the wayside!
