Every quilter knows how hard it is to cut a perfect circle. Smart quilters use tools like the GO! Circle-3 1/2" die to make their lives easier and their circles just right. Incorporate other GO! shapes with this circle for even more design possibilities. The die works with a variety of AccuQuilt Fabric Cutters, including the GO! Baby, GO!, GO! Big and the Studio if you use its adapter. AccuQuilt Fabric Cutters are an easy way to precisely cut this 3 1/2" circle. The cutters allow you to cut up to six layers of cotton fabric at once, which means you'll have a stack of perfect circles ready to go in a flash. This circle die is available individually here and is also part of the GO! Qube Specialty Set-Serendipity by Edyta Sitar offers a fresh, modern take on traditional quilting and applique.

How to Die Cut 3 1/2" Circles:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- Cut a 4" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4" widths Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 10 circles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 90 circles.

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.
