AccuQuilt Cutting Benefits Cut more fabric in less time. Accurate cuts every time — no slipping rulers or measuring mistakes. Easy to use — place die on cutter, add fabric and cutting mat, then cut. Save fabric with Two-Tone Foam by cutting only where needed. Safe to use — blades are embedded in the die, away from your fingers. Die Tips Some fabrics may leave a few threads where blades meet — simply snip with scissors. Align fabric with the edge of the shape, not the edge of the die board. Use good-quality fabric to reduce stretch. Test cut one shape before cutting multiples to ensure correct orientation.
