Use GO! dies with your GO! and GO! Baby Fabric Cutters to cut precise, accurate shapes in just seconds.
Features and Benefits:
- Cut so much more in less time—Cut up to 6 layers of 100% cotton fabric at once
- Easiest to use—Simply place die on cutter, then fabric and cutting mat on top
- Get accurate cuts every time—No slipping rulers or mistakes
- Create quilts you never thought you would—AccuQuilt makes cutting curvy classic quilt patterns a snap
- Save fabric with Two Tone Foam—Get more out of your fabric by placing it only over the shape you want to cut
- Safe to use—No blades come anywhere near your fingers
- No more math—Geometric shapes are designed with an accurate 1/4" seam allowance in the design
- Quilt more, clip less—No more clipping all those dog-eared corners
- Quick and easy applique—Apply fusible web to fabric prior to cutting
Storage: Organize GO! dies with AccuQuilt GO! Die Storage Rack (55115).
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.
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.
Warranty: AccuQuilt GO! dies are guaranteed for one year.

- Sew easy to make a basket! Review by Sarah
-
Overall Rating One of my absolute favorites of your pieced series This die wastes almost no fabric and piecing is easy with the triangles already trimmed. Thanks for another winner!! Great design, more of this die (say a house block) would be perfect!

- Fun little baskets Review by Connie in VA
-
Overall Rating I bought this die last weekend, and have had lots of fun making little baskets. I found that a 5" x 11" piece is perfect for cutting a basket and background - cut lots of those, then swap around for a great scrappy look. I may need to check my seam allowances, however, because mine come out to be 5" unfinished, 4 1/2" finished. I saw on the description on-line that this is supposed to be a 4" basket.
It would be helpful to have marked on the packaging the expected finished size of the block - today was the first time I've found anything that tells me what size this is supposed to finish (and I hadn't taken the time to measure the cut pieces and work out the math).(Posted on 4/29/12)

- Go! Bountiful Baskets by Alex Anderson Review by JimsQueenie
-
Overall Rating Basket quilts are not my favorite but now I will make them for thank you gifts (a wallhanging) for others. I, also, would not have made this block if it wasn't for the die set. I'm not sure, but I think some of the die parts in this pattern can be used in other patterns, too. If you decide to buy this die set, have a great time. Vicki

Overall Rating I saw this quilt when Alex Anderson hosted Simply Quilts (I really really miss that show!!). I would never have made this without the Go!! I got mine in the mail yesterday and had to make one right away. It went together easy and quick!! Now I can't wait to make a whole quilt! Thanks Accuquilt for including Alex Anderson in your products!!!

- Accurate, Easy Cutting -- Great design! Review by Terrie
-
Overall Rating The layout of the patches on this die really saves fabric and the trimmed triangles make it so easy to line all the patches up as you sew. Having the handle cut on the bias is perfect as well. This is a great block that makes up a super cute quilt.

- On the list of must have dies. Review by Jo
-
Overall Rating This is one of my favorite AccuQuilt dies. Cutting was simple and easy. I had a bit of trouble with the handle but after watching this video showing Alex demonstrating I got a "handle" on it. This is one of those blocks I probably wouldn't have made if it wasn't for my GO!
