Tumbler quilts have long been a part of quilt history. Often these
quilts were made with donated or shared fabrics and were known as Charm
Quilts. This traditional shape has been updated by AccuQuilt with
specially designed corners that make piecing a breeze. The die cut
tumbler shapes align perfectly for nice straight edges on the top and
bottom of each row. Simply add more tumbler shapes to the length or
width to increase the size of your quilt. Ideal for both beginners and
experienced quilters. Die packaging includes project directions for a

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.
