How to Die Cut 2 1/2" Strips:

• 2 1/2" Strips: Cut 5 1/2" wide strips across the width of fabric to cut two 2 1/2" strips. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll thru the cutter first. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 13 strips.
• 2 1/2" Squares: Start with a 2 1/2" strip aligning it across the die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 5 1/2" widths. Cut 14, 2 1/2" squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 182 squares.
• 45° Diamond-2 3/4" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2 1/2" strip aligning it across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
• 30° Diamond-4 1/2" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2 1/2" strip aligning it across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line.

Why Quilters Love the GO! Cutting Mat-10" x 24":

• Specially formulated cutting mats are part of the precision system that makes the GO! cutters and dies so efficient.
• Cutting mats can withstand hundreds of cuts on both sides before a replacement is needed.
• You can use the same cutting mat for a variety of dies, so there’s no need to purchase a separate cutting mat for every die you own.
• Mats are designed to fit the same size die board so it’s easy to know which mat to use. You can also use smaller-sized mats on different-sized die boards to cover only the shape you want to cut. This will exponentially help your mats to last even longer.
• Cutting mats protect the rollers on the cutter and keep the fabric from shifting while it’s being cut.
• 7 cutting mat sizes available: 6" x 6", 6" x 12", 6" x 24", 5" x 10", 10" x 10", 10" x 24" and 14" x 16".

Cutting Mat Tips:

• It may be time for a new cutting mat when you notice that the die is not cutting through the fabric all the way.
• Recommend keeping an extra cutting mat on hand if you’re intending to use your cutter regularly.
• Rag dies tend to wear out the cutting mats much more frequently due to the number of blades.
• Prolong the life of your cutting mats by alternating the sides each time, so you’re not cutting in the same spot every time.
• Replace mat when cutting performance of die is reduced or mat shows excessive wear.
• Do not use warped mats.
