AccuQuilt and OESD Partner to Connect Fabric Cutting and Machine Embroidery

AccuQuilt and Oklahoma Embroidery Supply & Design (OESD) have announced a new partnership focused on how quilting and machine embroidery can work together more seamlessly.

It’s a natural partnership: AccuQuilt is known for fabric cutting systems that help quilters cut shapes accurately and efficiently, and OESD develops machine embroidery designs along with the supplies and education that support them. Together, AccuQuilt and OESD help you produce better results, faster. It’s a thread match made in heaven.

Why the AccuQuilt x OESD Partnership Matters

Both companies serve makers who care about accuracy, consistency and results. At its core, the collaboration is about improving how projects come together from the very beginning.

One of the most common challenges in applique and embroidery work is consistency. Even small variations in shape or size can affect how a design stitches out. Edges may not align cleanly. Stitching can look uneven. Extra time gets spent finessing pieces instead of moving forward.

Starting with Accuracy, the AccuQuilt Way

Starting with accurately cut foundation shapes for your embroidery solves a lot of problems before they begin. When fabric is cut accurately at the beginning, it creates a stable foundation for every stitch that follows. Not only do accurately cut pieces fit the way you envisioned them, the embroidery process itself is smoother, with fewer interruptions or corrections along the way.

That connection between preparation and final result is what this partnership is built around.

AccuQuilt x OESD Happy Patches to Get You Started

This first collaboration introduces the Happy Patches collection, designed to show how precise fabric cutting and machine embroidery can work together in a practical way.

Choose Your Happy Patch Shape and Size

The collection includes applique designs in three classic shapes: heart, circle, and hexagon. Each design is offered in multiple sizes, giving you flexibility depending on your project and hoop size.

 

 

 

 

The Hexagon Bee Happy Patch uses the GO! Hexagon-1”, 1 ½”, 2” Sides Die. Make the patch in three sizes:

 

The Heart Happy Patches use the GO! Heart-2”, 3”, 4” Die. Make the patches in three sizes:

The Circle Happy Patches use the GO! Circle-2”, 3”, 5” Die. Make the patches in these sizes:

Instructions and embroidery files give you options for satin stitches, fill stitches and the running/bean stitch you see throughout these projects, and because they’re from AccuQuilt and OESD, you know the quality and support you’ll receive is second to none!

Start with Accurate Applique Pieces

The designs are compatible with select AccuQuilt GO! dies, making it possible to cut applique shapes with consistent size and clean edges before stitching.

For those not using GO! dies, the collection also includes printable applique templates. This keeps the project accessible while still showing the benefit of starting with precise shapes.

Easy To Follow Instructions, From First Stitch to Finish

The project covers standard embroidery steps, including placement stitches, tackdown stitching, and final decorative passes. Stabilizers, thread, and tools are all part of the process, with OESD materials used throughout the instructions.

This makes this project collection a good starting point for understanding how applique and embroidery fit together, especially when the fabric pieces are prepared in advance.

What Comes Next

The partnership between AccuQuilt and OESD is expected to expand over time, with additional collaborations that continue to explore how fabric cutting and machine embroidery can support each other.

For makers, the goal is simple: better results with less guesswork.

As more quilters and embroiderers continue to combine techniques in their projects, having tools and resources that work together becomes more important. This partnership is a step in that direction, grounded in the idea that a strong start leads to a better finish.
