Accuquilt for Cutting my Scrap Fabrics
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Check out this video if you have scraps of fabric waiting to be made into new quilts. I hope my ideas help you, too. I have one error - I like a 3/8" not 3/4" seam around my hexagons. Oops. I created this video to share with my guild to keep me within my 20 minute time limit of how I use my Accuquilt for scraps. An Accuquilt cutting system makes a great gift for yourself or other quilters in your life.
My 8 month old kitten would love your “strip rack”! That cat attacks ANYTHING hanging down, whether your using it or not. I actually have scraps of fabric lengths tied around the house to keep him entertained while I’m quilting. Some have ball at the end. It works for a little while. 😂
Regarding the Accuquilt: those strip dies are worth their weight in gold! Every one of them! I’m disabled and cutting fabric plays havoc with my back. If you never get any of the other dies, the system is worth it just for the strip cutters.
Honestly, I didn’t have any real confidence that the BOB’s or other shape cutters would work as advertised. I’m glad to admit I was wrong! This is a wonderful system if cutting fabric is difficult for any reason.
This is my time visiting your channel. I really enjoyed your organizational and scrap tips. I am trying doing the exact same thing with my scraps. It may take me a year to get them all cut though. Organizing them is another matter. 😂
I look forward to watching more videos from you and visiting your website.
Peace and blessings to you!
Thank you. I hope now a year later you've had time to organize your precut scraps and try some of my Jody's Jem's patterns. The Scrappy Squares 1,2,3,4,&5 use up a lot of precuts quickly and I love the Crazy 4 and 9 Patches. Have a blessed Christmas.
not only does accuquilt make accurate cuts, it saves trips to the ER and long recoveries from rotary cutters. I find myself searching and using patterns that fit the accuquilt dies in order to avoid the months long recuperation of rotary cutter accidents.
If you purchase from Accuquilt and create an account you can list all your dies. The ones you buy from them will automatically be added and you can manually add any you buy elsewhere. Just found your channel. Enjoyed your video. I have subscribed to see your other videos.
Thanks Alice. I really need to do that on Accuquilt. One more thing to add to my long to do list. LOL. Have fun.
I just found your youtube video. I have an accuquilt machine and have never used it! This helps me figure things out.
Loved looking at your stash of cut fabrics! 😮
I love elevating the cutting tabletop in order to store your mats. I'm certainly going to implement your idea in my sewing room.
Glad you like it.
Thank you Jody that was very interesting my daughter has 6 and 9 inch dyes my son has 8 inch and I have just bought the 4 inch one love hand piecing regards Rhonda from Australia
Awesome thank you for sharing this 😊
thankyou for a great way to use, cut and also store scraps....after 20 years of quilting you have incentivized me. I have an accuquilt, which I love and you have shown a new use for it. But Im curious.....I bought mine because i had a friend who literally cut her finger off with a rotary cutter. Im over 70, eyesight not so good and bought an accucuilt because of the safety issue.....why does no one mention how safe it is.
I make hexagon from circles. A six inch circle will yield a two and a half inch hexagons. I made a quilt that has 483 handmade hexagons. I love making them.
As I was cutting the scraps from my last quilt into squares, I was thinking how much easier it would be if I had the right sized square die for my Accuquilt to do it!
Then, I saw this video!
Thank you! Great video
Glad you like it. I love my Accuquilt just for cutting up scraps so they are ready to use. Have fun.
Very interesting, I have purchased a few dies. I love them. But watching your video helped a lot. I was just trying to keep cost down, but the cutter and dies just make things so easy. Pluse am not always good at cutting, sometimes when hand cutting they don't all come out the same size. So via accuquilt. Your video is so helpful. Can't Wait to see your next quilt pattern.
Marking your strip dies is genius!!!!
Great way to organize your scraps.
Hi, I use an old Alven cutting mat that I cut to the size i need instead of the accuquilt mats that do not last, the Alven mats last longer than the accuquilt matts and even if I bought brand new it still would be cheaper.
I love the the way you organize you strips fabrics + squares I love the dryer rack such a great idea I need one can you send me the link I can purchase one thank you
Great 👍🏽 video!!!
Thank you. Glad you like it.
2:26pm 2/7/23 should have been labeled scrap organizing..very little AccuQuilt info
Very helpful!
Hi, so pleased to find this site, I do hope that I can find it again. I really appreciate your help. Thank you
Great information and I'm going to get A rack for sewing room to hang the stripes
Thank you for the idea to photo my dies. Will do that tomorrow 1:02
Great idea I thought of that too
For the slanted dies I ran into short pieces because of the grain of the fabric. Do you have a video explaining that?
I have go. How can I cut a 2 3/8 square for a quilt I am making. Thanks for your help.
I love scrappy quilts. Do you know where I can find patterns?
Lol. My bookshelf full of scrappy quilt patterns or go to my Jody's Jems Quilting website to see lots of patterns designed for scrappy. You can see more photos of each pattern plus order them on m at Etsy shop at JodysJemsQuilting. Have fun.

Can batting be cut with AccuQuilt?
Cutting mats opps
I’m trying to find a rack like yours. Do you know the brand or name?
No clue. My strip rack I bought at a thrift store. I have heard that it's a rack that fits inside a dryer for sweaters maybe. I really don't know. I come up with a lot of random ideas of how to repurpose things I find.
Need use right size mat!
My cutting are easily damaged how do I save my cutting mats? Thx
Just keep flipping and turning your mats. They last longer than you think.
They do wear out quickly when you do a lot of cutting. Moving it slightly helps instead of cutting it in the same exact place each time. I like the idea of flipping them. Maybe that helps too.
