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.

Great for many patterns Review by Cecilia
Overall Rating

Since many of the fabric manufacturers have started selling precut 2-1/2 inch strips, many patterns call for them. Instead of paying a premium for the precut strips, it is so easy to cut them yourself with this die for the Go cutter. I love it.

Great time saver " Review by Mary
Overall Rating

I used the 2 1/4" strip die to cut blocks and strips for piecing Beary Patch a mosaic type teddy bear quilt. Strip piecing made the project very quick and accurate. Friends were impressed with the 265 1 3/4" squares.

easy strip Review by Anne

This makes perfect strips. I can cut them with the rotary cutter, but this die makes it so much easier. Worth its wait in gold.

Excellent Review by Sharon
Overall Rating

I use this size strip for my binding, it was the first one that I tried with my new "Go". It was so much faster and accurate than using a rotary cutter that I knew immediately I was going to "love" this machine... :)
