How to Die Cut GO! Bucket Hat Die

  • For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. This die is specially designed to cut one complete Bucket Hat in two passes through the GO! or GO! Big fabric cutter.
  • To cut one Bucket Hat: Fabric Color 1: Fuse fabric with an interfacing like June Tailor® T-Shirt Project Fusible Interfacing. Cut one 7 3/4" square and place it on the Top (circle) shape to cut one shape. Cut four 7" x 4 3/4" rectangles and place them on the Side (straight) shape to cut four shapes. Cut four 8 7/8" x 4 1/4" rectangles and place them on the Brim (curved) shape to cut four shapes. Fabric Color 2: Cut one 7 3/4" square and place it on the Top (circle) shape to cut one shape. Cut four 7" x 4 3/4" rectangles and place them on the Side (straight) shape to cut four shapes. Cut four 8 7/8" x 4 1/4" rectangles and place them on the Brim (curved) shape to cut four shapes.

Why Quilters Love the GO! Bucket Hat Die

  • Get creative with your fabric choices to make custom Bucket Hat projects. Great as a themed gift or keep it for your own! Assemble for an unforgettable handmade gift, sure to steal the spotlight at any gathering!
  • GO! Bucket Hat is a DIY ("do-it-yourself") Project die. These are popular shapes of projects that you make for yourself, to give as gifts or to sell.
  • GO! Bucket Hat is designed to fit an average adult size (22" circumference).
  • Use pattern fabric for the lining to make your GO! Bucket Hat reversible.
  • Use the GO! Strip Cutter-2½" (2" Finished) (55017 or 55014) to add a chin strap for windy days.
  • Add fusible interfacing product, such as June Tailor ® T-shirt Project Fusible Interfacing, to main fabric for a stiffer hat.
  • Die includes seam allowance and notches for easy piecing.
  • A great way to use up scraps.
  • Fat Quarter-friendly.

AccuQuilt Benefits

  • Cut so much more fabric in less time.
  • Get accurate cuts every time: no slipping rulers or mistakes.
  • Easiest to use: simply place the die on the cutter, then the fabric and cutting mat on top.
  • Save fabric with Two-Tone Foam: get more out of your fabric by placing it only over the shape you want to cut.
  • Safe to use: no blades come anywhere near your fingers.

Die Tips

  • With some fabrics, a thread or two may remain where die blades meet after cutting. Snip these threads with scissors.
  • Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to the edge of the shape, not the edge of the die board.
  • Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
  • It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
  • Care & Maintenance: Use adhesive roller or die pick to clean lint and thread from dies. Die blades never need to be sharpened.
  • GO! Bolt material limits: up to 6 layers of cotton, batiks or silk; 2 layers of cotton with fusible web; or 1 layer of fleece, flannel, denim, leather, wool, batting or felt. Use no more than 4 layers when running two 5-inch-wide dies side by side. Start with fewer layers and follow the cutter and die instructions.
