I absolutely love the circle die and can’t wait to do many more projects with it. I’m curious to see what the long time wear is on the die blades because I feel like with that kind of an investment I would want them to hold out for years worth of projects. My overall first impression with the Accuquilt Go! Cutter is that it is a sturdy, well made device. And the best part: all the little dog ears (triangle ends) are pre-clipped by the shape of the die, so no need to trim them later. (Remember I’m lazy.) By layering my printed fabric, alternating with a piece of solid white (6 layers total), I could cut enough fabric for 24 half square triangle blocks in one trip though the Go! cutter.īy alternating the layers of fabric, the solid and the prints are already paired up and ready to start chaining through my sewing machine. I love half square triangles and the myriad of projects you can do with them, but I don’t always love the process of making them. ( I have a fabric-scrap guilt complex.) Using this particular die I had very little waste and efficiently and quickly cut 15 accurate isosceles triangles from one 6 ½” (x width of fabric) strip.Īnother die I was eager to try was the 4″ finished half square triangle die. One of my concerns about using a fabric die cut device was the fabric waste. I’m so lazy.) The isosceles cutting die removed all excuses and within half an hour I whipped out enough triangles for a cute nursery banner. I’ve been wanting to make pennant banners for a long time now (like years) but the thing that has held me back was the just figuring out how to do it with my ruler and mat. My favorite part is that it quickly and accurately cuts shapes that would be much more difficult to cut with just a ruler and rotary cutter.
