    Forgot to ask on previous post. How do you store the dies? The web site says not to stack them on top of another die. Do they need to hang or just in a holder like shown on the site?

    I thought you could do more. Ok. I will do less. I tried 4 and it seemed to do ok, except i had to cut one thread.

    I usually cut 4 to 8 layers, depending on the fabric. Denim is hard to cut with more than one layer with the rag quilt die. I do have threads to snip when I remove the square. But, there are many cuts (blades) on that die. I clean out the die every few cuts. I love my Accuquilt Go.

    I was storing the dies in a art bin the stands up but now I use a metal file rack holder that you can get at an office store like staples. Works great and looks like the ones that they sell on the accuquilt store.

Works great and looks like the ones that they sell on the accuquilt store. I use the Art bins to hold my studio dies. They are thicker than the Go dies an d just a bit to small to use the wire rack holder.
