AccuQuilt Info
What is an AccuQuilt you ask?
The AccuQuilt is a die cutting machine specifically designed for Quilters. Each die shape has the standard 1/4" seam built in, all the dog ears pre-clipped and notches for easy curved piecing!
How does it work?
Well, the die boards have steel blades imbedded in foam, you place them face-up on the cutting bed, add up to 6 layers of fabric & a cutting mat. When you run it through the machine it applies pressure and presses the blades through the fabric, leaving you with perfectly cut pieces all ready to be sewn together!
I recently signed up to be a Brand Ambassador for AccuQuilt! As you've probably seen in my videos, this Fabric Die Cutter makes quick work of cutting out your quilt squares.
I've had a few requests for more information on what I'm using in my Randomly Generated Quilts, so I've added some Affiliate Links below to help you out.
(Please note, that if you make a purchase through any of these affiliate links, I will get a small commission from AccuQuilt)
First, you'll need a cutter.
- I'm currently using the 6" "Go!Me" cutter. Available Here: GO! Me Fabric Cutter
- There is also a larger cutter, this is good if there are larger dies you may want to invest in later. Available Here: GO! Fabric Cutter (Everything I've used fits in the 6" cutter)
- Another option, which is really great if you have limited use of your hand, is an Electronic version of the cutter. Available Here: GO! Big Electric Fabric Cutter Starter Set
