AccuQuilt GO! Maple Leaf 8 Finished Die 55195

Create a bit of fall any time of the year with this BOB (Block On Board) die that's perfect for any skill level. You can cut a 2-color block in just one pass through your cutter, but don't overlook using your scraps for a fun look. The sizes of these shapes are unique to this versatile die. The die includes 4 basic shapes on a 6" x 24" die board. Finished size: 8" Finished Block.

Maple Leaf is a Block on Board® (BOB®) die which means it's specially designed to cut one 2-color, 8" block in one pass through the cutter. It works with the GO! Me, GO!, GO! Bolt, GO! Big and Studio 2 (with a GO! die adapter) cutters, and AccuQuilt recommends cutting up to 6 layers of cotton, batiks, satin, silk at a time. Cutting requires the AccuQuilt GO! 6" x 24" cutting mat, sold separately. Because there are no templates to trace or rulers to slip, it is an easy way for beginners and experienced quilters alike to get consistent, accurate pieces quickly.

• 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.
• For Studio or Studio 2 use, fit the GO! die in the appropriate GO! die adapter and compatible Studio tray, and use Studio cutting plastic instead of a GO! cutting mat.
• 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.
