AccuQuilt Go Die 6.5" Square / B0021FACXM
I bought this die for use with my new AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter. I'm impressed with quick and easily it cuts fabrics, as well as with the accuracy of the cuts. This die cuts fabric squares that are 6.5" inches on each side; if you quilt with 1/4" inch seams, then that means the finished square is 6" inches on each side. Almost all of my quilting is done with combinations of 3.5" and 6.5" squares, so this die has been a great investment for me.
The die cuts one square per cut - if you layer the fabric with eight layers (the maximum thickness the AccuQuilt claims to be able to accommodate), that gives you 8 squares per cut. It takes about five minutes to layer the fabric and run it through the machine, so you can cut about 100 squares in an hour time.
The only complaint I have with this die is that it is a bit wasteful of fabric - I do wish they had made it with less "empty" space on the sides, to allow for tighter cutting, but I suppose if you got creative with your fabric folding it wouldn't be as much of an issue. For myself, I never seem to have enough scraps for scrap quilts, so I'm just being "wasteful" and saving the scraps in my barren scrap basket.
Do note that you will need the GO! 10x10 Cutting Mat to use with this die, as well as the actual AccuQuilt Go fabric cutting machine. I've attached the video I created for my AccuQuilt review to show this die in action.
