Description

Nothing makes creating mini quilts, narrow accent borders, narrow sashing, or string piecing as quick and easy as being able to cut multiple layers of seven precise 1" strips. The GO! Strip Cutter die has ultra-sharp blades that are 23" long and open at both ends to let you cut folded fabric right off the bolt.

AQ Cutting Mat Required: GO! Cutting Mat, 10 in. x 24 in. 2 Pack (25.4 cm x 61 cm) Item 255113

How to Die Cut 1" Strips:

  • 1" Strips: Cut 7 1/2" wide strips across the width of fabric to cut seven 1" strips. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll thru the cutter first. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 33 strips. 
  • 1" Squares: Start with 1" strip aligning it across the board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 7 1/2" widths. Cut 37 squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 1,221 squares. 
  • 45° Diamond-1 1/2" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1" strip. Align your 1" strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line. 
  • 30° Diamond-2" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1" strip. Align your 1" strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line. 
  • 60° Diamond-1 1/4" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1" strip. Align your 1" strip across the die board to the right side of the 60° guide line.

Why Quilters Love the GO! 1" Strip Cutter Die:

  • The smaller the strip, the more difficult it is to cut accurately  and the more strips you need. The GO! Strip Cutter-1" makes it easy to cut miniature quilts, narrow accent borders, narrow sashing, string piecing and more. 
  • No sliding rulers! No miscuts! The GO! Strip Cutter-1" includes seven strips that can be a challenge to cut by hand.   
  • Idea for scrappy quilts! Easily cut up to 6 layers of scraps or full length fabric on the die to get 21 perfectly cut 1" strips in one pass thru the cutter. 
  • GO! Strip Cutter-1" includes 1/4" seam allowances for easy alignment and piecing. 
  • Cut perfect 1" strips, then use the angled guide lines to cut squares and diamonds. 
  • Die blades are 23" long and are open at both ends to allow cutting of fabric that is still folded as it comes off the bolt. 
  • Cut strips out of a variety of fabrics: cotton, batiks, flannel, fleece, Cuddle® fabrics and more! 
  • Free pattern downloads available to get you started.

AccuQuilt Benefits: 

  • Cut so much more fabric in less time. 
  • Get accurate cuts every time -- No slipping rulers or mistakes

  • Safe to use -- No blades come anywhere near your fingers

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.
