Rectangles should be a snap to cut, but making each one perfect can be a
pain (sometimes literally). Make it easy by letting the GO! Rectangle-2
1/2" x 4 1/2" die cut perfectly precise rectangles every single time
and through several layers of fabric. All you need is a 6" x 12" mat,
your AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Baby and fabric. Combine this rectangle with
existing AccuQuilt GO! block dies to make a variety of 6", 8", and 12"
block designs.

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- Cut a 9 1/2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3"
widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 26 rectangles across the
width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 78 rectangles.
