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 die on cutter, then 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.

Die Tips: 

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors. 
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle.  Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of 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.
