Every quilter needs squares, they're the building blocks of quilting. Use the GO! Square die to precisely cut 4 1/2" squares that finish to a 4" square. Use this square in combination with additional AccuQuilt GO! block dies to create typical 8" finished patchwork quilt blocks like the Spinner and Jewel Box blocks.

Die Tips:
- Cut up to 6 layers of cotton fabric at a time. For thicker fabrics, start with fewer layers and build up.
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Use cutting plastic that matches size of each die.
- For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
- 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.
