GO! Small Strip Cutter-2 1/2" (2" Finished) Die

GO! Cutting Mat, 6 in x 12 in (15.2 cm x 30.4 cm)

• 2 1/2" Strips:
  • Cut 5 1/2" wide strips across the width of the fabric to create two 2 1/2" strips.
  • Fan fold into 10" lengths.
  • Position the fabric on the die so the fold is perpendicular to the cutting blades and feeds through the cutter first.
  • One yard of 40" wide fabric will cut 13 strips.
• 2 1/2" Squares:
  • Begin with a 2 1/2" strip and align it across the die board using the 90° guide line.
  • Fan fold into 5 1/2" widths.
  • Cut 14 squares (2 1/2") 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 and align 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 and align it across the die board to the left side of the 30° guide line.
  • Note:
    • You can achieve a full 30° diamond using only the top and middle blades.
• 60° Diamond – 2 1/4" Cut Side Edge:
  • Start with a 2 1/2" strip and align it across the die board to the right side of the 60° guide line.

• The GO! Small Strip Cutter 2 1/2" (2" finished) die is ideal for both large and small quilting projects, especially when working with scraps or smaller fabric pieces.

• With two strips across a compact 6" x 12" die board, it’s perfect for smaller cutting tasks and works with any GO! cutter.

• Its portable size makes it easy to take along for quilting retreats or travel sewing.

• Includes 1/4" seam allowances for simple alignment and piecing.

• Cut perfect 2 1/2" strips, then use the angled guide lines to create squares and diamonds.

• The die blades are 11" long and open at both ends, allowing you to cut folded fabric up to six layers thick—or cut through six layers of scrap fabric easily.

• Cuts a wide variety of fabrics: cotton, batiks, flannel, fleece, Cuddle® fabrics and more.

• Free pattern downloads are available to help you get started.

• Cut far more fabric in much less time.

• Achieve accurate cuts every time — no slipping rulers or cutting mistakes.

• Easy to use — simply place the die on the cutter, then the fabric and cutting mat on top.

• Save fabric with Two-Tone Foam — place fabric only over the shapes you want to cut.

• Safe to use — blades are never close to your fingers.

• With some fabrics, you may notice a thread or two remaining where the die blades meet. Simply snip these with scissors.

• Some dies have blades positioned at an angle — always align the fabric with the shape edge, not the die board edge.

• Use good-quality fabric to reduce stretching.

• Always test-cut one shape before cutting multiples to ensure the fabric orientation is correct.
