Day 28 of 30 Days of Giveaways - GO! AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter

IHAN's 30 Days of Giveaways

Anniversary Celebration

Day 28

GO! Fabric Cutter 

from AccuQuilt

Ok IHAN Blog readers....it is time to put on your safety belts.  Remember the cushion you are sitting on is not a flotation devise...so don't count on it to keep you from falling out of your chair and drowning in your coffee or soft drink.  A seat-belt is highly recommended!!

Don't say the Dummies didn't tell you to put on your seat belt.  If you find yourself on the floor....it not our responsibility (our lawyers confirmed this a lie) you've been forewarned.  Everyone safe and secure now?  Ok....lets proceed.

AccuQuilt  has joined the IHAN First Anniversary celebration and one lucky IHAN blog reader will be receiving an Go! AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter  delivered to their home.   

(Ouch....all that hooping and hollering just broke my ear drum.  Guess I need more than a seat belt....I need ear plugs too.)

Seriously now, you know why I find this exciting?  Because I thought I would never buy a GO! AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter .  Then I joined in an I-Spy block exchange on Karen's blog, Sew Many Ways. I cut out 120 4 1/2 inch I-Spy squares.  I put them in piles and noticed they were not all the same size.  I was so frustrated because I had used the same ruler and I am very careful.  No wonder my squares get weird....it is very difficult to be accurate when cutting no matter how hard I tried.  I knew I could put a fix to that situation and I bought the GO! AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter.  Now all my squares are exactly the same size!!!  I have found cutting my fabric is much less of a chore and I get excited about knowing everything will work out because my cuts are precise.

These are some examples of the dies currently available for the GO! AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter.  To view all the dies you can click here.

There are great project sheets (yummy recipes) on AccuQuilt's website.  I used a project sheet that was included in their Newsletter and made this wall hanging to celebrate a 10th Wedding Anniversary. 

I just ironed on Mistyfuse (works great with the GO! AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter because it is so nice and soft) and cut out my hearts, ironed them on . 

These New Dies (coming out in May) were inspired by "some of the quilt industry's most influential and premier quilters, Alex Anderson, Ricky Tims, Eleanor Burns and Sharon Pedersonare" according to AccuQuilt.

These new dies are so exciting and fun.  I am inspired by the designs and the Project Sheets because I try things I'd otherwise not even attempt.  I probably would never have made a my heart wall hanging.  I would have been frustrated that my hearts were not all the right size and then it would not look nice on the wall.  The GO! AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter gives me more confidence that my projects will be uniform when I'm finished (that's not to say I still can't mess them up...I won't go into that...LOL).

If you are a visual learner like me, you will appreciate all the GO!AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter videos offered by AccuQuilt.  I find videos much more user-friendly than written instructions.
