GO! Strip Cutter – 6” (5 – 1/2” Finished) 1 Strip (#55488) AccuQuilt

How to Die Cut 6″ Strips:

• 6″ Strips: Cut 6½” wide strips across width of fabric to cut one, 6″ strip. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll through the cutter first. One yard of 40″ wide fabric-cuts five strips.
• 6″ Squares: Start with a 6″ strip aligning it across die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 6½” widths. Cut six 6″ squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric-cuts 30 squares. 
• 45° Diamond-8½” Cut Side Edge: Start with a 6″ strip. Align your 6″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
• 30° Diamond-12″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 6″ strip. Align your 6″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line.
• 60° Diamond-7″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 6″ strip. Align your 6″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 60° guide line.

Die Tips: 

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors. 
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle.  Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board. 
• 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.
