The newer Sizzix is slightly wider than the one I bought, and the Go! dies do fit in it (I have seen it with my own eyes). They don't fit in the older version that I bought. Luckily hubby has a band saw and he knows how to use it :) So don't believe Accuquilt when they say the die is 6" it is actually 6 3/8th

| See it is such a small amount over you can hardly see it in the picture. |
so that extra 32nd of an inch that my machine is narrower makes it impossible to use without cutting it down.
The Sizzix dies do work fine, of course. I bought the 2 1/2 half square triangle die thinking that it meant 2 1/2 inch sewn square or 2 inch finished... I was wrong it is 1 1/2 finished.   |
| Oops started pulling it off before I took a picture. |
Edit: Pat says "Actually, the Go! has a die that makes the 2" finished HSTs -- it's the die that comes with the cutter. The die has a 4" (finished) square, 2" (finished) squares), and HSTs that make a 2" (finished) square." Yay! So now we know.
So now I am trying to decide if I want to tough it out with the Sizzix or ask for a GO! Baby for my birthday. I think I want both... the Sizzix for all of the amazing shapes it cuts and the Go! for just the geometric stuff.... hmmm decisions decisions.
Keep a look out tomorrow is my 100th post and a give away. I have a couple of fun things for you.
Talk soon!
