As with other traditional designs, accurate and fast cutting with AccuQuilt GO! dies makes piecing Dresden Plate blocks a piece of cake. Twenty rounded plates form a circle measuring approx. 12" tip to tip. Twenty-two pointed plates form a circle measuring approx. 13 1/2" tip to tip.
Cuts: 4-Round plates 2 1/8"W x 5"H (5 cm x 13 cm), 4-Pointed plates 2 5/8"W x 5 1/2"H (7 cm x 14 cm) and 2-Circles 4" (10 cm).
Use 10" x 24" cutting mat (55113).
Care & Maintenance: Use adhesive lint roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads imbedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.
Die Tips:
With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
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.
