Yesterday I bought my new Accu Quilt Go and before I try it out later this morning - my question is:

Would it be a good idea to spray startch and iron your fabric first (knowing you would have some pieces that will be bias cuts) or would this be a concern for the Accu Quilt Go and not a good plan to do?

Thanks.

Might be a good idea.Remember to cut strait of grain.

spray starching first helps sometime when you have some static.I would first try it out then go from there. I usually cut first and then spray starch when using my half sq.triangles.. :-)

For all of you that own an AccuQuilt, do you like them or not. I am thinking about buying one.

I have an accuquilt studio model. I rarely spray starch. I'd suggest running fabric through, check the measurement for accuracy and if it is a little off, then spray starch before cutting.

As far as static . . . slide your plastic off of the die after you cut. I finally figured this out after I'd been 'snapped' about 20 times from static electricity!!

Becky,is it because it's winter and it's dry? Another question,do you think that plastic thing where's out to fast?

I'm going to try starching first before i give you my answer about liking mine or not.

I personally think that you need to prepare your fabric the same way you would if you were going to cut it with a ruler and rotary cutter. Launder it, straighten the grain, iron it and startch it.
