Cutting Mat has seen better days, which means you've been quilting up a storm. When it's time for a new one, or when you're just starting out, this 10" x 24" mat makes it easy -- simply choose the mat you need and get quilting. Click to View More Images Why Quilters Love the GO! Cutting Mat-10" x 24": Specially formulated cutting mats are part of the precision system that makes the GO! cutters and dies so efficient. Cutting mats can withstand hundreds of cuts on both sides before a replacement is needed. You can use the same cutting mat for a variety of dies, so there’s no need to purchase a separate cutting mat for every die you own. Mats are designed to fit the same size die board so it’s easy to know which mat to use. You can also use smaller-sized mats on different-sized die boards to cover only the shape you want to cut. This will exponentially help your mats to last even longer. Cutting mats protect the rollers on the cutter and keep the fabric from shifting while it’s being cut. 7 cutting mat sizes available: 6" x 6", 6" x 12", 6" x 24", 5" x 10", 10" x 10", 10" x 24" and 14" x 16". Cutting Mat Tips: It may be time for a new cutting mat when you notice that the die is not cutting through the fabric all the way. Recommend keeping an extra cutting mat on hand if you’re intending to use your cutter regularly. Rag dies tend to wear out the cutting mats much more frequently due to the number of blades. Prolong the life of your cutting mats by alternating the sides each time, so you’re not cutting in the same spot every time. Replace mat when cutting performance of die is reduced or mat shows excessive wear. Do not use warped mats. GO!

AccuQuilt® is a fabric die-cutting system designed to make quilting easier and more enjoyable by providing a safe and efficient way to cut perfect pieces every time! How Does The AccuQuilt® Fabric Cutting System Work? There are three main components to the AccuQuilt® system: the die, corresponding die cutting mat and a fabric cutter. Each die has very sharp steel blades that form the cut shapes. The blades are surrounded by foam, allowing you to run your hand over the die without being hurt. To cut fabric, lay fabric on top of the die, foam side up, then lay a mat on top of the fabric, before putting it through the cutter. The fabric cutter compresses the foam, forcing the blades to cut through the fabric and into the mat. Simply slide the cutting mat off the die to reveal perfectly cut fabric shapes. There are no programming or complicated systems to learn! What Brands Of Fabric Cutters Does AccuQuilt Have? AccuQuilt has two lines of fabric cutters, starting with the GO!® family. This line of fabric cutters includes the original GO!® fabric cutter along with the GO! Me® and the GO! Big®. The GO! and GO! Me are manual cutters which require turning a handle to produce perfectly cut fabric shapes. With their portable design, you can take them with you wherever you want to quilt. The GO! Big is our electric cutter that is fully automatic and works at the push of a button, perfect for everyone but especially for arthritis sufferers. There’s also the Studio 2™ Fabric Cutter, which is the largest cutter on the market with a 16” cutting width, making it compatible with over 700 Studio™ and GO!® dies. Why Would Someone Use An AccuQuilt Fabric Cutting System? What Are The Benefits? The number one thing most quilters want is more time to sew and finish projects. Using an AccuQuilt GO! fabric cutter is 90% faster than rotary cutting with the GO! line’s ability to cut up to 6 layers of cotton fabric at one time. The Studio 2™ Fabric Cutter can cut up to 10 layers of cotton fabric in one pass through the cutter. Because your die does the intensive and precise work of cutting, your cuts will be accurate every time. Using the GO! system is great for anyone who has issues with pain associated with traditional cutting methods as it reduces strain and lowers the risk of injury. As for the system’s efficiency and ease of use, GO! dies have a ¼” seam allowance for piecing built in and dog-eared corners to save trimming time. With accurate cuts every time, you’ll save fabric by eliminating the need to re-cut your pieces. For appliqué fans, the GO! system is also a must! Perfectly pre-cut shapes make any method of appliqué a breeze, and machine embroidery is more accessible than ever with free embroidery downloads for all non-designer shapes. Does An AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter Actually Reduce Fabric Waste? Yes! Once you become familiar with using an AccuQuilt GO! or Studio fabric cutting system, you'll be left with only thin slivers or small chunks of fabric, especially with our Cut and Shift™ and Cut & Flip™ methods.
