AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter

You asked, and we heard! In response to the spring survey, a number of Accuquilt dies have been purchased for guild members’ use. These dies, and the cutter, are available to be used at the Notre-Dame-des-Champs hall during Sew Days and Retreats. The equipment is not to leave the building. If not attending the sew day or retreat, members may drop in to use the supplies.

A few tips for correct usage of the machine:

No more than 4 – 6 layers of fabric to be cut at one time. If you have fusible web on your fabric – it is considered a layer, so include it in your count! If too much fabric is forced through the roller, it creates strain which could break the machine. Accuquilt recommends cutting flannel one or two layers maximum. Please be cautious.
Place your fabric to cut on the lengthwise grain if possible. Your cut will be more accurate, no distortion.
If you are using a die with more than one shape, place your fabric and mat over the shape you want. No need to waste fabric on the other shapes, and adds to the longevity of the mat.
If repeatedly cutting the same die, use a different part of the mat. Shifting the placement of the mat even slightly means it isn’t contacting the blades in the same spot every time. This will extend the mat’s life.

If you have ANY questions about the Accuquilt, or would like a die added to the collection, please don’t hesitate to ask.
