I've finally gotten a chance to use the AccuQuilt GO! Baby cutter this weekend - and it's AMAZING! Let me show you what I've done so far...
First, the materials - the Go! Baby cutter, the die (I've used the "Fall Medley" one for this project), the cutting mat, fabric pieces with Heat & Bond ironed as according to directions - and we're off....
This die cuts 5 difference shapes, so I was able to cut what I wanted from each of the fabric by trimming them to the size of the design... here are the large leaf & pumpkins - getting ready to add the fabric for the acorn pieces & the other leaf....
The next picture was blurry (sorry), but you lay the cutting mat on top, lay it on the cutter, crank the handle, and it comes out with these shapes - almost like magic - and easy as pie!
Now how is that for fantastic? Super quick, wonderfully clean lines, easy as pie, and you can cut one or several at a time. I only did 2 layers at a time because of the Heat & Bond, but I might try 3 & see if they still come out as great as these did.
All you have to do now is peel the paper off the back, place them on your project (for me, it's not a quilt, or wall hanging), I wanted to make a couple of zipper bags.
As you can see, I used all of the shapes on the green bag, and on the 2nd one, I only used the pumpkin and the acorn. I just love how quick & easy this was to do and can't wait to make more!
I use these bags for my cross stitching projects, embroidery projects, in the suitcases when we travel - and small ones in my purse. I'm sure you could think of many more great uses.....
And speaking of that, I want to give one of these away! Leave a comment to THIS POST ONLY telling me which one you like best, and you just might be a winner. I'll draw a name on Wednesday night, July 20th. If you want to tell your friends via your blog or facebook, leave a comment with that link & I'll give you not 2 but 3 chances to win. :-)
And stay tuned for my AccuQuilt Part 2 pictures - coming soon..... below is a sneak peek!

What a fun new toy. I love the brown one.
Will post at Teresa's Heartfelt Stitches
I have to go with the green one. Love how you're using your new toy! Wonderful stuff!
Oh, what a tough choice - they're both beautiful! Please include me in your drawing for the... green one. Thanks for the chance!
I really hope one day to have my own Baby GO! - Thank you for showing your project - I'd not thought that I could use any of the applique shapes, but you have thrown so many projects into my head. Thank you.
I like the green bag best! Thank you for this chance.
Hi Amy! Pretty handy toy! I used to have a Cricut for scrapping, but gave it to my daughter (sure hope SHE uses it someday!) Anyway, I like the darker bag myself, and would love to win it! Hugs.
Love them both! Autumn is my favorite season and I LOVE pumpkins. So, the brown would be my choice. Beautiful bags, great ideas with your new toy. Thanks!!! ;>
What a wonderful toy! Your zipper bags are beautiful, I especially love the green one!
Hugs,
ohhh - love them both - but especially the one with the pumpkin and acorn!

Hi Amy,
Wonderful idea for using the Go! Baby! Love both, but if I win and had to pick one, it would be the green. Thanks for the chance.
Beautiful project bags. I love brown one best. The colors are so rich. I need to check one of these Accuquilt gadgets.
I would love to be included in your giveaway.
Love your new toy, Amy. Saving up the loose change for AccuQuilt Go Baby. Please enter my name for your giveaway. Both are super...how about the Navy bag. Looking forward to seeing more of your sneak preview!
Beautiful, beautiful! I love the green bag...
What fun! I love them both, but if I had to chose, I'd go for the brown one. I'll post on the sidebar of my blog as well.
Might just have to save my pennies for one of these machines!!
Thank you for the chance to win. A tutorial for the zippered bag would be great since I have no idea how to sew a zipper. I too love the green bag.
thanks for showing us how to use the Go Baby! I have seen them, but did not really understand their use. I love both your zippered bags, but I love the one with just the pumpkin &acorn on it. Please include me in your drawing - thanks for having it!
Love that new Go cutter! How fun!
I'd love a chance to win the green one.
Thanks!
Tanya
Thank you for the tutorial, looks really easy and funny to do. I love the brown bag, don't mind for the other one, I have predilection for brown color and love the fall colors!
i love them both but the green one is my favorite! I have to try and win one of these (well have tried, just need to win one). LOL now that i am starting to sew more the Go cutter would be perfect!
I like the bag with the pumpkin and acorn but it was difficult to chose as I love both of them! I'm not sure if your giveaway is open to your international readers but if it is please enter me!
Cute Amy, I want to see you do the tumbler quilt..
You know I'm not a quilter, but all this Go!Baby action is making me want to be! I just may have to have one of these before too long! I always wanted to be, but never trusted my calculations enough! Love your projects-fall looks quite enticing right now! Can't wait to see the next project. Please stich my name in the hat. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to be added to your giveaway. I like the 2nd one with the acorn and pumpkin. This sure looks like a must have machine.
I love your zipper bags -- they are really nice. Love fall colors. I'd love to make some. Is there a pattern I can get to make them.
Maggie VA
wow, that is so cool and can't wait to see what else you make. I love the green zippered bag.
Those are so cute Amy! Love the colors and the images are so sharp. I can see many of these in your future!!!
I LOVE what you did with the die cuts and the pouches. I too love to make pouches!!
I have been eyeing this machine for a while!
Yeah! me!!! Thanks Amy - I am so excited, I never win anything. Maybe my luck is changing. Looking forward to showing it to everyone.
