Keep the tips coming please.

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?

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, static guard! Thanks, I do sometimes have static.......great tip!
No, I dont get lots of waste, I cut the fabric a bit bigger than the shape I am using. |
Maybe I missed this but how many can you stack and cut?
|
I usually do 2 or 3.

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 still want to see what you have made with the pieces cut with the 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.
