About This Item
We've given the traditional tumbler shape an upgrade with specially designed corners that make piecing a breeze. Ideal for scrappy quilts, the GO! Tumbler die cuts these pieces perfectly, every time and even goes through multiple fabric layers like a hot knife through butter. •AQ Cutting Mat Required: GO! Cutting Mat, 6 in. x 12 in. (15.2 cm x 30.4 cm) How to Die Cut Tumbler Shapes: For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. To Fanfold Fabric: Cut 11" strips across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 30 tumblers across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 90 tumblers. To Use Scraps: Place scraps or 5" precut squares over tumbler blade areas. Why Quilters Love the GO!
