How to Cut 1.5″ Strips

Cutting Mat Required: AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutting Mat 10″x24″ 55113

  • 1 1/2″ Strips: Cut 8″ wide strips across the width of fabric to cut five, 1 1/2″ strips. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll through the cutter first. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 22 strips. 
  • 1 1/2″ Squares: Start with a 1 1/2″ strip aligning it across the die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 8″ widths. Cut 25, 1 1/2″ squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 550 squares. 
  • 45° Diamond-2 1/8″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 1/2″ strip. Align your 1 1/2″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line. 
  • 30° Diamond-3″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 1/2″ strip. Align your 1 1/2″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line. 
  • 60° Diamond-1 3/4″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 1/2″ strip. Align your 1 1/2″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 60° guide line.

Die Tips

  • With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
  • Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
  • 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.
