AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter Starter Set
The hand-crank GO! is worth considering when you repeatedly cut shapes available on GO! dies.
What this tool is for
The hand-crank GO! is worth considering when you repeatedly cut shapes available on GO! dies. Start with the value die and its matching mat. The set lets you try two square sizes and a half-square triangle before deciding whether another die makes sense. If you mostly cut a new size for each project, a rotary cutter and ruler leave you more room to change dimensions without buying a different die.

Fit and buying advice
The manual machine has a 10-inch cutting width. AccuQuilt lists the included value die with 4½-inch and 2½-inch raw squares, finishing at 4 and 2 inches after sewing, plus a triangle intended for a 2-inch finished half-square unit. The starter set includes a 6 × 12-inch cutting mat. Wider boards require a machine that accepts them, even when the shapes themselves look small.
Questions about this tool
Can I use a die advertised for the GO! Big?
Check its item number in AccuQuilt’s chart and look for the GO! column. A Big-only board requires a wider machine.
Do I need to buy a mat before my first cut?
The included 6 × 12-inch mat matches the value die. A separately purchased die may require a different mat.
Can I use the same layer count for every material?
Check the maker’s table for the fabric you plan to cut. The cotton limit does not apply to thicker material such as denim.
