GO! Strip Cutter 2 3/4" (2 1/4" Finished) – 3 Strips Die
Item #55489
The GO! Strip Cutter 2¾" (2¼" finished) – 3 Strips Die cuts three perfectly straight 2¾" strips in a single pass, giving you a slightly wider strip for borders, sashing, wide binding, and tote bag handles. Printed angled guide lines at 90°, 30°, 45°, and 60° on the foam let you turn those strips into squares and diamonds with the same accuracy.
Use it with your GO!, GO! Me, GO! Bolt, or GO! Big Fabric Cutter. The 2¼" finished size also coordinates with the GO! Qube Mix & Match 9" Block, so your strips line up with your Qube pieces.
Cutting Requirements
- AQ Cutting Mat Required: GO! Cutting Mat – 10" × 24" (25.4 cm × 61 cm)

How to Die Cut with the GO! 2 3/4" Strip Cutter Die
- 2¾" Strips: Cut 8¾" wide fabric strips across the width of fabric to cut three 2¾" strips at a time. Position fabric so the fold is perpendicular to the blades. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 12 strips.
- 2¾" Squares: Start with a 2¾" strip. Align it across the die board using the 90° guide line and fanfold into 8¾" widths. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts approximately 156 squares.
- 45° Diamonds – 3 7/8" cut side edge: Start with a 2¾" strip and align it to the right side of the 45° guide line.
- 30° Diamonds – 5½" cut side edge: Start with a 2¾" strip and align it to the right side of the 30° guide line.
- 60° Diamonds – 3 1/8" cut side edge: Start with a 2¾" strip and align it to the right side of the 60° guide line.

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, layer fabric and cutting mat, then send it through.
- Save fabric with Two-Tone Foam by placing fabric only over the shapes you want to cut.
- Safe to use – die blades are embedded in foam, away from your fingers.
Die Tips
- With some fabrics, a thread or two may remain where die blades meet – simply snip with scissors.
- On angled dies, align fabric with the edge of the shape, not the edge of the die board.
- Use quality quilting fabrics to reduce stretch and distortion.
- Always test cut a single shape before mass cutting to confirm fabric orientation.
- Clean lint and threads with an adhesive roller or die pick. Blades never need sharpening.
