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 size Review by Nancy
Overall Rating

This is a perfect size for strip quilts I make, so easy.. just alternate with 2 1/2 strip die and you have a completed quilt in record time. We use this alot with the quilts for my grand daughter's organization. Quilted Hugs from Maddie. She is 7 and makes quilts for needy kids. This die makes it so easy for her to whip up a kid's quilt in no time.

Great for strips quilts Review by Nancy
Overall Rating

Recently received this strip die. I had fabrics that were 1/4 yad, and was able to line them up just so and I was able to cut 2 strips with just a hair off each side. I mixed these with 2 1/2 inch strips and was able to cut out 2 quilts in less than 30 mins. Finished one quilt top in a day. Love the ease and how the fabric was exactly the width needed but If I had rotary cut it I never could have gotten 2 strips out of each fabric.

Best Ever for Border Strips and "Stripe" Quilts Review by Susan
Overall Rating

I am so happy that I purchased this die cut...it is sooooo much easier to make border strips. I even used it for a "Stripe" Quilt I made and it turned out fabulous. I wish I could by every single die cut they make, but I'd have to win the lottery. :)

Easy Borders Review by Sonya
Overall Rating

Before I bought this die I seemed to always have a hard time cutting strips for my borders (never could get them exactly straight, lol). With this it's now a breeze.

Love cutting strips! Review by Marcia
Overall Rating

I think one of the best features of the Go! cutters is the ability to cut strips. I'm using this 4.5" one for borders.

Easy peezy! Review by Marguerite
Overall Rating

So quick to cut the borders that really make the center of the quilt stand out, and make your quilt larger. Easy, quick, accurate. I love it and will never go back to the old way. I wasn't that good at rotary cutting. My ruler would slip. Now my quilts look so much better.

Great for Border Strips Review by Doug
Overall Rating

The absolute easiest way to make those fill-in and border strips needed for many quilts. Faster, easier, and more accurate than cutting with scissors or a rotary cutter, I'm no longer in fear of patterns that need nice, wide, straight strips. Once you've tried the strip cutters, you'll never go back to cutting by hand.
