Square-4 1/2" die cuts 4 1/2" squares that finish to 4" squares. It includes 1/4" seam allowances for easy alignment and piecing. The squares can be combined with other AccuQuilt GO! block dies to make 8" finished patchwork blocks such as the Spinner and Jewel Box.
The die has four squares, so one pass cuts (24) 4 1/2" squares. To use it, place the die on the cutter, then the fabric and the cutting mat on top. The fabric sits only over the shape you want to cut, which saves fabric. No blades come near your fingers.
It cuts cotton, batiks, wool, felt, flannel, fleece, Cuddle fabrics and more, and works with Layer Cakes and Fat Quarters. For best results, position the fabric on the lengthwise grain as it goes under the roller. Cut 9 1/2" strips across the width of fabric and fanfold them into 9 1/2" widths. Then place them on the selected blade and cut. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 48 squares.
