Description

Die Specifications:

  • Compatible with: Requires an AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter (55100).
  • Required: 10" x 10" cutting mat (55111).
  • Cuts one: 6 1/2"W x 6 1/2"H (17 cm x 17 cm) square.

Storage: 10" x 10" die board (25 cm x 25 cm). Organize GO! dies with AccuQuilt GO! Die Storage Rack (55115).

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.

After years of cutting triangles and squares and sometimes being off in my cutting I am loving this square! I have the 6 1/2 triangle and now when I cut I dont have to worry about my corners not meeting.

Perfect Squares Review by Maria

This is a great size square for piecing, quilting and embroidery. I really like this one and use it quite often. This 6 1/2 square is great for photo quilts as well as embroidery. It makes it easy to center photos and graphics.

Great to cut batting Review by Mary
Overall Rating

I've made two rag quilts. The first one i did, i cut the batting by hand. The batting pulled and stretched and it was difficult to cut accurately. I used this die for my second quilt and could not believe how much easier it was. The squares were all exactly the same and was so fast.

Go! Square-6 1/2" Review by Browser
Overall Rating

This die shows off the fabrics that I really like because it is a nice size. It also makes a great companion die to the 8 1/2" rag die for batting and backing.

great size Review by Cheri
Overall Rating

This is a great size square for embroidery. Most of my embroidery designs are 4x4 inches which fit perfect in this square. I just cut a bunch of squares. I plan to embroider my library of 4X4 designs on them to create a visual reference design book. The accuquilt is addicting.

Really Speedy! Review by Tamara
Overall Rating

Using this die has really sped up my quilting, and it's so much fun! Even if you have to snip a few threads, once and a while, that didn't get cut. You can not just cut out a quilt, but sew it together and quilt it in one day. At the dentist's office, I was reading a quilting book. One of the ladies asked me if I had ever actually made one? I said yes. She wanted to know how long it took and I said, " About half a day." She couldn't believe that was possible, but with this die it is. Adding a patchwork baking to a baby quilt is a snap also, and really makes the quilt extra special!

A simply fantastic block Review by Alice
Overall Rating

I found a pattern in a Kaffe Fassett book that uses just a block with a 2 1/2 inch border each border. Solid center, print border. This size die is perfect for this pattern! Yeah!
