#Accuquilt qube Patch#
The blocks provided by Accuquilt to use with the GO! Qube are all Four patch blocks. I got approvals from both companies and created a downloadable file containing all of those Accuquilt blocks drawn in EQ8. I really wanted to design with the Accuquilt 8″ blocks in EQ8, but there was not a library file of the blocks to be found, so I decided to create them. I received an 8″ GO Qube with my Accuquilt GO! Cutter. I love how quickly I can cut out a quilt and have a project all ready to sew. This past year I finally jumped on the Accuquilt bandwagon and became an Accuquilt GO! Getter. I design my quilts in EQ8, I teach EQ8, and I use EQ8 to create my original patterns. Most of you know that I am an EQ8 Superfan. The unique construction of this block means that you’ll only have two Y-seams to sew.I am very excited to introduce a new product in my shop. So, have you ever sewn a Y-seam? While this term seems to strike fear in the heart of many quilters, they really are nothing to fear - and the GO! Prairie Star-14" Finished Die is a great way to get started.

The GO! Latin Stars Throw Quilt is a free downloadable pattern that makes the most of the different looks possible with this die. If you’re new to large blocks or blocks with lots of pieces, this 14” finished block is perfect! With a mere glance at the packaging, you can tell that there are many different looks that can be unlocked with this one die. the GO! Prairie Star-14" Finished Die, that is! This is another die that is great for leveling up so many skills painlessly. The specialized dog-eared corners and notches will help you score a beautiful block in far less time than you think. Don’t worry: just jump in and make a test block. Foundation paper piecing can be an awkward process, but cutting the pieces on this die will produce the same results in less time - and with ease. If you want to embrace some curves while making narrow, picture-perfect points without foundation paper piecing, look no further than the GO! Mariner’s Compass-12" Finished Die.
I can’t begin to imagine creating these classic blocks without a die! Both are easier to create with the dies since they cut precise pieces so quickly – including those magical notches! The GO! Classic Double Wedding Ring Table Runner makes an outstanding wedding or shower gift, and it's so much easier than you might think since the die does the hard work of cutting for you! It’s important to note that this die will only work with the GO! Big Electric Fabric Cutter, and that you will need a 14” x 16” die mat. The GO! Big Double Wedding Ring-12 1/2" Finished Die has all the pieces on a single die board and makes a more traditional, circular shape finishing to 12 1/2”. Lining up these pre-cut notches (and yes, pinning them together) will make sewing curves so much easier than you’ve ever imagined. GO! Dies are constructed so that they cut notches on curved pieces. Lots of quilters shy away from sewing curves, but they’re really nothing to be scared of when you’re using GO! Dies. You’re missing out on some amazing quilt blocks if you never sew anything with curves.
Since AccuQuilt GO! Dies make cutting so fast and accurate, they are a great way to help you conquer new skills! So, whether you’re a seasoned quilter with years of experience or a newcomer, there’s always something new to try in quilting.
#Accuquilt qube how to#
I’ve learned free motion quilting, how to build a scrappy look, sewing Y-seams and curves, and more. I’ve tried traditional piecing, foundation paper piecing, English Paper Piecing, and rag quilts. Learning doesn't have to mean taking in-person classes anymore, and it certainly doesn't only have to do with your job, either!Īs a mostly self-taught quilter, I’ve tried to challenge myself along the way with different techniques and styles.
Learning and trying new things helps keep your mind active, helps you stay engaged with your activities, and more. Having been raised by educators, I firmly believe that you should never stop learning.
