Quick cutting with AccuQuilt

Who wants precise, trimmed fabric pieces so they can start sewing blocks?

If that’s you, come on over! We have a wide range of quilt dies so you can cut quilt pieces quickly with AccuQuilt.

Louise purchased the Studio Cutter 2 shortly after Burlington Electric Quilters opened its doors. She loves the precise pieces and already-trimmed corners. Here are a couple of the quilts that used AccuQuilt for quilt piecing.

Never heard of AccuQuilt? Well, get ready for some eye-popping advantages.

  • This quilting tool slices your fabric cutting time by up to 90%. Whenever she has half square triangles, the AccuQuilt is Louise’s tool of choice.
  • It trims the corners of pieces, reducing the time it takes to sewing components together.
  • It’s easier on your wrists and shoulders than rotary cutters.

How does it work? Watch how the AccuQuilt cutter slices so many triangles in a snap.

The AccuQuilt Studio 2 Cutter at Burlington Electric Quilters has hearts, squares, parallelograms, triangles and more shapes to meet your piecing or appliqué requirements. If you’ve got a specific block in mind, let Louise know, as she probably has the right mix of dies ready and waiting.

Ready to learn more about the AccuQuilt? Their website has plenty of how-tos, free patterns and encouragement to get you started. Then turn to your stash and play with the possibilities.

AccuQuilt pieces are a great way to use layer cake, jelly roll and charm packs – not to mention the fat quarter bundles that your stash may be hiding.

Linda C came into the studio last year and thought it was a “game changer.” Cutting half square triangles quickly excited her for new quilt patterns.


“Bring on the patterns full of Half Square Triangles,” she declared.

Maybe you don’t want to start a new quilt, but turn to your WIPs with new inspiration. Want a flying geese border for a king size quilt? Suddenly this could happen in just a fraction of the time. Or maybe you started a T-shirt quilt and haven’t trimmed the blocks. The AccuQuilt cutter makes that job easier, too.

January’s AccuQuilt Project

This month we are featuring the Wonky Heart GO! die on our AccuQuilt Studio 2 cutter.  Bring a Layer Cake or 35 10″ x 10″ squares and cut the pieces out using the Wonky Heart die.  Swap out the centers and sew the pieces together to make the blocks; add sashing and a couple of borders and you are done!

Here’s the quilt I made for new baby Anne Elizabeth.  Love the soft colors of orange and aqua in the Layer Cake, Lullaby, by Kate and Birdie Paper Co. I got mine from amazon.

 

This lovely collection of fat quarter batiks came from equilter.com. The combination of lights and darks makes it perfect for the Wonky Hearts quilt.

Sign up for an hour on the AccuQuilt cutter for $10, and add an extra $5 if you want supervision in sewing one block together.
