GO! Feathers Die
Item #55008
Feathers never go out of style. From sedate neutrals to bright pops of color, feather shapes add flair to your quilting projects. The GO! Feathers Die perfectly cuts both straight and curved feathers, even through multiple layers of fabric.
Ideal for appliqué: apply fusible web to the wrong side of the fabric before cutting for appliqué-ready designs straight from the cutter. The die comes complete with detailed instructions for making the Feathers To GO! table runner.
How to Die Cut Feather Shapes
For fusible appliqué, apply fusible web to the wrong side of the fabric, following the manufacturer's instructions, before cutting.
-
Curved Feathers: Cut and fuse 2" × 3¼" rectangles. Cut 12 curved feathers across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 216 curved feathers.
-
Straight Feathers: Cut and fuse 1⅞" × 3" rectangles. Cut 13 straight feathers across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 247 straight feathers.
Why Quilters Love the GO! Feathers Die
- Feathers have long been a favorite quilting motif. Use them for appliqué designs, flower petals, angel wings, birds, raindrops, and border designs.
- No templates required. Includes two shapes that are typically difficult to cut by hand.
- Cut four of each pre-fused appliqué shape in one pass through the cutter (fusible counts as one half layer of fabric).

- A great way to use up scraps.
- Charm Pack–friendly, with free pattern downloads available to get you started.

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.
