ok thanks. I can't remember if it was in the yahoo group or on a blog but someone said they cut a whole bunch of squares without worrying about the grain, apparently, and all of them were off. I think it was 4.5" squares. The idea is that the crosswise grain stretches more and the pressure of the rollers will cause it to stretch as it's cut or something...

My Go arrived today!! I also got the 2.5" strip die. I have been looking at all my yardage, imagining it cut into strips.
|
Please let me know how it works I also have a back injury and any short cut to cutting would help out! Nikki

I want to know details, too! I am especially interested in the strip cutters as I am "strip challenged".

I finally tried my birthday toy last evening and I LOVE it. In front of the TV with family I cut 144 2 1/2" squares and was done in a few minutes as apposed to hours maybe and each one was just perfectly shaped and just like the ones before. WOW! I'm in heaven! I also cut some 2 1/2 " strips, 3" HST and it only took minutes. It took longer to clean up afterward and take the stuff back to my sewing room than it did to cut all those.
Now--I'M JUST SURE I NEED EVERY DIE MADE!!! LOL Sue |
Sue,
I would be in sewing heaven also if I had the AccuQuilt! Did you see they now have the double wedding ring templates and the Dresden plate? That is so so so tempting to me. I have seen the dies on ebay, they are much cheaper there it seems. |
