Storage: 5" x 10" die board (12.7 cm x 25 cm). Organize GO! dies with AccuQuilt GO! Die Storage Rack (55115).

Die Tips:

  • With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
  • Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
  • For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
  • Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
  • Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
  • For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
  • Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
  • It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.

Care & Maintenance: Use adhesive roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads imbedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.

Warranty: AccuQuilt GO! dies are guaranteed for one year.

So Happy Review by Jenniffier
Overall Rating

I just finished a whole bunch of blocks 1/2 square triangle blocks for one of my online quilting bees. I am so happy with how quickly I was able to cut the fabric and piece it together. It would have taken forever had I had to re-cut each square (like normal).

plays well with chisels Review by Jacque
Overall Rating

I love to use this die along with my chisels die, to create parallelograms, large stars, and more! The possibilities are so varied and so much fun! I used to avoid HSTs but now I'm excited when I find a new design that uses them!

I love this die because it is the companion die to the 5-6" isoscoles triangle die when making kaleidescope quilts. Thanks for both; I now have a new favorite quilt style.

Loved it! Review by Alice

Used this die at a retreat in 2011 and cut up a bunch of these for a wall hanging quilt. Haven't quilted it yet, but the top is all done. It's a great way to use scraps! Really nice!

I never bothered with HST's before because they were so tedious to make. Now I can make several at one time with no bother and much accuracy!
