Feathers have long been a favorite motif for quilters.

This die cuts perfect straight and curved feathers that can be used as an appliqué design element. Apply fusible web to the wrong side of fabrics and cut for appliqué shapes that are ready to fuse and appliqué. Use for original or traditional appliqué designs, flower petals, angel wings, raindrops and feathered border designs.

Die packaging includes project directions for a Feathers To GO! table runner.

Organize GO! dies with AccuQuilt GO! Die Storage Rack (56259).

Care & Maintenance: Use adhesive roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads imbedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.

Die Tips:

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
• Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
• For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
• Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
• For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
• 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.
