Pair it with AccuQuilt’s Mix & Match system to build accurate 9" finished quilt blocks with ease.
How to Die Cut 5" Squares
AQ Cutting Mat Required: GO! Cutting Mat 6" × 12" (55112)
- For the best results, place fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- Cut 10½" strips across the width of fabric.
- Fanfold into 5½" widths and place on the die, covering the blades.
- Cut 14 squares across the width of fabric.
- One yard of 40" wide fabric yields approximately 42 squares.

Die Tips
- If a thread or two remains where blades meet, simply snip with scissors.
- Some blades sit at an angle—align fabric to the shape's edge, not the die board edge.
- Use high-quality fabrics to reduce stretch or distortion.
- Always test cut one piece before cutting many to ensure correct grain direction and orientation.
