    Yesterday I bought my new Accu Quilt Go and before I try it out later this morning - my question is:

    Would it be a good idea to spray startch and iron your fabric first (knowing you would have some pieces that will be bias cuts) or would this be a concern for the Accu Quilt Go and not a good plan to do?

    Thanks.

    spray starching first helps sometime when you have some static.I would first try it out then go from there. I usually cut first and then spray starch when using my half sq.triangles.. :-)

    For all of you that own an AccuQuilt, do you like them or not. I am thinking about buying one.

    I have an accuquilt studio model. I rarely spray starch. I'd suggest running fabric through, check the measurement for accuracy and if it is a little off, then spray starch before cutting.

    As far as static . . . slide your plastic off of the die after you cut. I finally figured this out after I'd been 'snapped' about 20 times from static electricity!!

    I personally think that you need to prepare your fabric the same way you would if you were going to cut it with a ruler and rotary cutter. Launder it, straighten the grain, iron it and startch it.
