shape to be cut, not entire die board.

Follow these steps to get perfect cuts every time
1. GO WITH THE GRAIN – For most accurate cuts, be sure you’re cutting on
the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as the fabric goes under the cutter.
- The lengthwise grain runs parallel to the selvage edge—the bound edges of
fabric that prevents unraveling or fraying—so place your fabric on the die with
the selvage edge facing you (or the cutter handle) before running it through
the cutter.
- Cutting on the lengthwise grain is particularly important when cutting
geometric shapes and Block on Board™ dies (aka BOB™ or classic dies).
2. PRE-CUT FABRIC STRIPS – To use the AccuQuilt GO! Baby cutter,  rst pre-cut
strips of fabric approximately ½" wider than the shape you want to cut.
- These strips can be layered or fan-folded to cut multiple shapes in one pass.

TIPS: Orient the lengthwise grain to the length of the cutter.
Line fabric up just over the edge of the die blade, not the edge
of the die board, to conserve fabric.

3. SAVE YOUR FABRIC! – When laying your fabric on the
die, only place it right over the shapes you wish to cut.
There is no need to cover the entire board. Two Tone™
Foam makes it easy to align fabric just over the edge
of the shape so you can save fabric.
4. CUT UP TO 6 LAYERS AT A TIME – The GO! Baby
fabric cutter cuts a wide variety of fabric in a varying
number of layers. Always begin with fewer layers and build up.
-Cut shapes from
fabric remnants
and scraps. Great
for using up stash!
-For fast appliqué,
apply fusible web
to fabric then cut.
-Use good quality
fabric to reduce
fabric stretch.
-We recommend
that you test
cut your fabric
 rst. AccuQuilt
does not take
responsibility
for fabric
cutting errors.
