GO! Strip Cutter-2-1/2" (2" Finished) (AQ55017) 

This GO! Strip Cutter has four angled guide lines printed on the foam surface.

Lines at 90-degrees, 30-degrees, 45-degrees, and 60-degrees allow quilters to cut strips into squares and several types of diamonds that can be used to make classic quilts like the Lone Star and Tumbling Blocks.

These preprinted angled guidelines make it easy to create a variety of shapes with consistent cuts that will save time and fabric.

How to Die Cut with GO! 2 1/2" Strip Cutter Die:
• 2 1/2" Strips: Cut 8" wide strips across the width of fabric to cut three 2 1/2" strips. 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 13 strips.
• 2 1/2" Squares: Start with a 2 1/2" strip, aligning it across the die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 8" widths. Cut 15, 2 1/2" squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 195 squares.
• 45° Diamond-3 5/8" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2 1/2" strip, aligning it across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
• 30° Diamond-5" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2 1/2" strip, aligning it across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line.
• 60° Diamond-3" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2 1/2" strip, aligning it across the die board to the right side of the 60° guide line.

GO! Cutting Mat-10 x 24 (AQ55113) 

So many quilting projects and only so many hours in the day!

Replacing your GO! Cutting Mat will make cutting fabric just as quick and precise as when your GO! Cutter was brand new.

Just choose the mat you need and let the fabric fly.

Why Quilters Love the GO! Cutting Mats:
• Specially formulated cutting mats are part of the precision system that makes the GO! cutters and dies are so efficient.
• Cutting mats can withstand hundreds of cuts on both sides before a replacement is needed.
• You can use the same cutting mat for a variety of dies, so there’s no need to purchase a separate cutting mat for every die you own.
• Mats are designed to fit the same size die board, so it’s easy to know which mat to use. You can also use smaller-sized mats on different-sized die boards to cover only the shape you want to cut. This will exponentially help your mats to last even longer.
• Cutting mats protect the rollers on the cutter and keep the fabric from shifting while it’s being cut.
