GO! Holiday Accessories Die
Item #55321
When you're a quilter or a crafter, the holiday season starts early. Christmas in July? That's about right if you want to get all those fun projects done. The GO! Holiday Accessories Die is the perfect way to make the holidays bright. It cuts through multiple layers of fabric at once so you can create accessories for your snowmen, ornament toppers, and a bow.
Use the GO! Circle 2", 3", 5" Die (55012) to create the snowmen, then accessorize them with hats, scarves, arms, and carrot noses. Pair the ornament toppers with the 2" and 3" circles to create holiday ornaments, and dress up gifts with the bow using the GO! Square 3½" (55006), GO! Square 4¾" (55019), GO! Rectangle 3½" × 6½" (55005), and so much more.
Make quick appliqués by applying fusible web to the wrong side of fabrics before cutting. Happy (early) holidays!

AccuQuilt Cutting Benefits
- Cut much more fabric in far less time.
- Get accurate cuts every time – no slipping rulers or cutting mistakes.
- Easiest to use – place die on cutter, then fabric and cutting mat on top.
- Save fabric with Two-Tone Foam by placing fabric only over the shape you want to cut.
- Safe to use – blades are embedded in the die, away from your fingers.
Die Tips
- With some fabrics, a thread or two may remain where die blades meet – simply snip with scissors.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to the edge of the shape, not the edge of the die board.
- Use good quality fabric to reduce stretch.
- Always test cut one shape before cutting many to confirm fabric orientation.
- Clean lint and threads with an adhesive roller or die pick. Blades never need sharpening.
