UP. Place fabric on top of die.
Place cutting mat on top of fabric.
Push die, fabric and mat firmly

direction you want the die to go.
Remove mat, die-cut shape and
excess fabric. Add new fabric

- best investment I ever made Review by Pat
-
Overall Rating With the 2 in. and 6 in. die cutters, I made a double chain Irish quilt. By cutting all my squares the same size for me, I save so much time. I would highly recommend this machine to any beginner or expert quilter. It is the best investment I ever made.

- Easy and Fun Review by Rena

Overall Rating So easy to use my middle school daughters made a bunch of coasters using the square die while I was out of town. Got mine to use for knitwear embellishment. Dies cut knits on steam-a-seam beautifully....simply iron on, add beads, embroidery and you've got a trendy t-shirt!

- OMG this is incredible!!! Review by Cathy
-
Overall Rating I am new to quilting and love it with the exception of the cutting, the less I have to cut the better. Well I just used the GO for the first time and I am totally in love with it. It is so easy to use and so accurate. No more rulers slipping or my cutter going off on its own....and talk about fast. I just cut the bindings for my latest quilt in about 30 seconds. I can't wait to cut more now.

- OMG! it is a dream! Review by Dale
-
Overall Rating I have moderate arthritis, so using a rotary cutter and scissors was a painful but necessary option for making quilts. Not anymore! I was amazed at how simple and easy the die, fabric and mat goes under the rollers, and doesn't hurt my hands at all. I can cut for hours at time; and sitting, too! Can't wait to buy more die shapes and make more quilts!

- Like mine so much I'm giving one to my mom for Christmas Review by Kelly
-
Overall Rating I just got this 2 days ago. I already cleared out one procrastination project (lots of appliqués for 40 placemats that I put off for 3 years). I found this so easy to use that I'm getting one for my mom. She has a palsy that makes her hands shake and cutting straight is hard for her. She loves quilting and I am 100% sure this cutter will open the world to her. She will be able to do more shapes now. Wow!
