- 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.

- I'm having a problem Review by Suzan

Overall Rating I tried this die today with different fabrics and got the same results each time; they each measure 1/16th of an inch short in one direction. Paper on it's own looked fine but two layers of fabric, four layers of fabric and then a single layer of fabric plus paper all came out the same; they are not perfectly square. I am using the die on the Studio system with the adapter so I'm wondering if I've got a dud die.

Overall Rating The entire line of Accuquilt gets my 2 thumbs up. What a time saver. To be able to cut out a quilt and start sewing in less time is wonderful. Let's face it--cutting out the fabric is tedious and boring IMHO. I just want to SEW!

- Great size Review by Mrsg730

Overall Rating I just used this to cut squares for my twin grandsons quilts and it is great. The size is perfect. Because of the size of the squares I was able to cut enough squares for two quilts in no time! Now all I have to do is sit at my sewing machine and sew sew sew! No more hours cutting for me. Hope to see a 10 inch square die someday. 10 inch square is comparable to the pre cut layer cakes and would allow me to make my own "layer cakes"

Overall Rating I just ordered this die because I do lots of embroidery and I think this will be the perfect size block to put embroidery or applique in. I am going to make a baby quilt for my niece who is expecting and I am going to embroider vintage baby animal pictures in each block. Can't wait to get started with this die!!
