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 lint 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.

strip quilting Review by Linda
Overall Rating

Making strips for quilting is so easy with this die. Quick, simple quilts that come out very nice is what I like about this die. A very versatile die that should be included in every quilters collection.

Perfect! Review by Laurie

Of all of my dies, I think this one is my favorite! No more "bows" where the creases were when I rotary cut my strips! Soooo useful and time saving...

VERY USEFUL 2 1/2" STRIP CUTTER Review by Maria
Overall Rating

I really like the 2 1/2" strip cutter. The size is perfect for cutting my fabrics into different shapes like diamonds and it's also wonderful for preparing my fabric for other dies. I can also use it for making bias binding. I look forward to getting other strip cutters. Keep up the good work.

Great Time Saver Review by Sarah
Overall Rating

Fantastic die! It really helps save a lot of time when making strips. I've always hated making bindings for my quilts, but with this die, it helps cut down on some of the time and effort required.

Strip quilting Review by Bonnie
Overall Rating

I love this die and it is one I would not go with out because I love to Strip Quilt thanks to Eleanor Burns. I wanted to start quilting years ago and picked up one of her books. I have been hooked on strip quilting ever since and this die cuts down the cutting time and is also more accurate. No worries about slipping when using the rotary cutter. This die makes it even more fun to quilt!

So precise! Review by Kathleen
Overall Rating

Finally, I can make strips that are precise! I had such a hard time keeping it even, moving around my hands on the ruler while cutting. It is now so easy with this fabric cutter.

Great time saver Review by Sandy

I love this die to cut strips. Now I can make my own jelly rolls with my stash. It also saves wear and tear on my wrists. I plan to invest in more strip dies!

Versatile die Review by SewCalGal
Overall Rating

This is a very handy and versatile die. While many look at it for cutting strips, it is also a great stash buster die. My favorite use of this die is cutting scraps into useable strips, even small strips. Also works well for crosscuts, to create 2.5" squares.
