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.

- A wonderful tool to have Review by Brigid

Overall Rating I cannot express how happy I am to have bought this. Cutting strips has never been so easy. This frees up my time to quilt, I am not struggling to make neat strips and having my ruler or rotary cutter slip. I am going to be a quilting machine with this die!!

- Strip Cutters Review by Debbie
-
Overall Rating I can't say enough good things about the strip cutter dies. It cuts my cutting time in half which gives me more time to be creative. This was my first die and I just ordered the 1.5" one and am saving to buy the larger one for borders. You can't go wrong with this investment.

- Perfect for cutting bias strips! Review by Michelle
-
Overall Rating I use this one to make my bias to bind my quilts. It is "sew" easy!! I join the strips, fold in half and iron, and then sew on my quilt. Love this one!!

- Who needs expensive pre-cuts Review by Cella

Overall Rating I can use this die to make my own bundle of pre-cut strips to use for all the patterns that call for them. So much more economical this way.

- Perfection Review by Susan
-
Overall Rating I once did nerve damage to my hand from cutting out stuff for a craft fair I was doing. The Accuquilt go die saved me from ever having that happen again. They cut the strips perfectly every time.

- Soooo EZ Review by Judy
-
Overall Rating Now that I can cut 2 1/2" strips so accurately, making sashing and binding is even more fun that ever before.

- Invaluable Die Review by Christine
-
Overall Rating I love making postage stamp quilts and pot holders and scrappy strip quilts, but the tedious part is cutting, cutting, cutting ... and something always gets wonky. This strip die allows me to make fast, accurate cuts in no time at all ... so I have more time sewing and less frustration with a rotary blade. Love it!

- Jelly roll anyone Review by dawn
-
Overall Rating This is the die I use most. We recently did the jelly roll race and in no time at all I had a jelly roll all cut out. Binding is a snap. My go to die for sure.

- If your a quilter this is a MUST have Review by Maria
-
Overall Rating I can't believe how much the 2 1/2" strip cutter has saved me time and gives me more time behind my sewing machine. I love making log cabin quilts and like making my logs different sizes and this die cut helps me do that within a few minutes. I also love to make jelly roll quilts and with the 2 1/2" die cut I can now make my own with my own fabric stash! Thank you Accuquilt! Oh I purchased my 2 1/2" cutter when I purchased my Accuquilt Go! at Joanns.
