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.

Overall Rating I'm making a quilt of the month and this is one of the needed designs. Instead of bying other templates or trying to make my own, I am looking forward to this accurate cutting die.

- Tiny Pieces Perfect Every Time Review by Christine
-
Overall Rating Have you ever tried cutting perfect small sized hexagons by hand? What a chore! It can take forever. Not any more I zip through my quilting project needs in no time at all and every single one is perfect. Why did I wait so long?

- Would love to see this in. . . Review by Marci

Overall Rating I do like this die. I use it for English Paper Piecing and even taught my mom how to do that. But it would certainly be helpful to have one die for each size as an option. (i.e. One die to cut several of each size at one pass through the machine.) It seems to 'spread out' the process by cutting all 3 inch strips to make the 3 in hexie. would be faster if you could cut a rectangle of fabric and cut several hexies at once.
Reply from AccuQuilt:
Thank you Marci for your review and your suggestion. It's a great idea, we agree too! Stay tuned for multiples of commonly used shapes in the future!

Overall Rating In no time at all a beautiful perfect Hexagon comes to life! This die has three different sizes all valuable. If your new to appliqués this is the perfect way to practice! I downloaded the hexagon wall hanging and with that and the hexagon triangle die its a match made in heaven.

- Can't wait for it to arrive. Review by Mary
-
Overall Rating I have been wanting this die for quite some time. My mom keeps telling me to have some handwork around and these would be great to use up scraps and to work on when watching TV. Having a few dies with all the same sized shapes, I understand wanting that with this one. I like having the option of the different sizes though.

- Only way to make a Hexie project! Review by SewCalGal
-
Overall Rating I have always loved Hexies, but love them even more due to this die. Thanks AccuQuilt! You now make it so easy, fast & accurate to cut Hexies.
I sew Hexies using a variety of methods, but am partial to English Paper Piecing. I had heard some bloggers complain that the AccuQuilt Hexie is not compatible with Paper Pieces templates (http://www.paperpieces.com/index1.html) but I can confirm they are very compatible and it is easy to use Paper Pieces templates with the AccuQuilt Hexie pre-cutts, with the English Paper Piecing method.
Love it.

- Easy Review by Kimberly

Overall Rating Found it easy to single out the use of one size, however for a larger project which requires large quantity of same size, it would be good to have die with multiple hexagon of same size.

- can finally do hexagons Review by Tracy
-
Overall Rating I agree that it would be nice to have another larger size, but without this die there is no way I ever would have attempted doing hexagons. For what it is designed for it is great and then I don't have to buy each size separately.
