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.

- perfect! Review by Tracy

Overall Rating So great to be able to cut these in seconds instead of cutting, sewing, pressing, sewing and cutting again. A great time saver!

- Love this one! Review by Pat
-
Overall Rating I love this die.....and have also used it in combination with the 2" (finished) HST die on the Value Die to make flying geese units. I am hoping that there will soon be a QST die that will finish up to 3" as well as one for 6" and one for 8". There would be so much that could be done with these in various sizes!

- Accuracy is amazing Review by Cammy
-
Overall Rating I don't have to worry about whether I need to add 3/8" or 5/8" of an inch now to make my triangles come out right. This is so much easier and so much more accurate than I am. :) Love the die!

- perfect for piecing Review by Mary
-
Overall Rating Was at guild retreat and our block was card trick. I used this and the 4.5 half square triangle and had 3 done before any one else. The directions on the card trick pattern had been poorly written but could be figured out if you were a seasoned quilter. I encouraged other quilters to try it at retreat

- A GO! favorite Review by Jo

Overall Rating This quarter square triangle die is one of the most used dies I have. Star blocks are a HUGE favorite of mine and this die makes the flying geese super fast to make...and waste...there is none.

- Speeds things up Review by Steph

Overall Rating Brilliant to be able to cut 8 triangles per layer of fabric - I cut all 64 for one block in two runs through the machine. Speeds things up so much!

- Versatile time-saver Review by Doug
-
Overall Rating Whether you use this and the 2" finished half-square triangle to make 2"x4" flying geese by the hundreds or add finesse to star designs this is both a fun and practical die that no quilter should be without. And the best part is that it is part of the Accuquilt family so it works perfectly time after time.
