Why Quilters Love the GO! Scrappy Binding Die:

• Great way to use up scraps! Use one or multiple size shapes on die to make binding. Do not fan-fold fabric for cutting binding. Cut up to 6 layers of fabric ½" wider than finished shape, then place on blades and cut.
• No more purchasing expensive Jelly Rolls! The GO! Scrappy Binding-2½" die is the perfect size to cut your own scrappy binding with your favorite fabrics or out of pieces from your stash.
• GO! Scrappy Binding includes ¼" seam allowances for easy alignment and piecing.
• To make binding, sew short edges of shapes right sides together using a ¼" seam allowance to create the desired length. Press seams open, then fold strip in half wrong sides together and attach to quilt.
• Cut scrappy binding out of a variety of fabrics: cotton, batiks, flannel, fleece, Cuddle® fabrics and more!
• Free pattern downloads available to get you started.

Die Tips: 

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors. 
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle.  Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board. 
• Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch. 
• It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
