Ever since I quit my Etsy shop, I’ve been itching to get back into quilting. One of my weaknesses with quilting, however, is cutting straight lines. I always mess up on a few pieces after getting in a groove and there’s nothing more aggravating than re-cutting fabric!
Enter Accuquilt Go! Baby…
I’ve been lusting over this since I heard about the Accuquilt Go! fabric cutter. Unfortunately, at about $300, there was no way I was going to spend that much on a fabric cutter. After a while though, the Go! Baby came out, which retailed for HALF the amount of the Go! 🙂
So, I used up some Christmas money and finally purchased it! I’m so excited to dig into my fabrics and make quilts again, now that cutting should be quicker and just overall, more efficient! I ended up buying this value pack as far as die cuts go.
This cartridge cuts two 2 1/2″ triangles, one 2 1/2″ square, and one 4 1/2″ square. I have a big project in mind for those triangles involving this huge stash of scraps from 2010!
While you can’t really see the size of this, I will say the fabric fills up one drawer in this cabinet. Seriously…all scraps!
By the way, this file cabinet is PERFECT for sewing. I store a good bit of fabrics (and scraps, obviously), notions, manuals and patterns in this thing. It doesn’t take up that much room either. It’s smaller than you think, and for $40, it’s quite a bargain for organizing!
I can’t wait to get my Go! Baby and get to cutting. 🙂 I’m itching to make this quilt that I have in my head.
What kind of crafty things did you get for Christmas?
Oh no! No more Nifty Woofs?! (I am just catching up on things…)
My friends dog looks absolutely adorable in his little bandana, but I completely understand needing to prioritize! 🙂
