We love our GO! Accuquilt Cutting system and are so pleased to be able to offer these exciting events once again. Join  Victoria Parish for these fun filled informative classes for beginners and experienced alike.

ACCUQUILT: CUT TIME QUILT MORE—SEPTEMBER  15 

Find out why AccuQuilt GO! is a cut above the rest. Cutting is time consuming. You work hard to get the perfect cut--carefully measuring each piece, and enduring hand, arm and back strain. Any slips of your rotary cutter or ruler can cause inaccurate cuts and wasted fabric. The AccuQuilt cutting system is 90% faster, more accurate and safe. See for yourself during this demo style event. $15 Appleton: 10-12

MIX AND MATCH MAGIC WITH GO!—SEPTEMBER 15

Inspiration and organization all in one box. As part of the innovative GO! Fabric Cutting System, GO! Qube allows you to cut up to six layers of cotton fabric, of the same shape, in no time. The GO! Qube is everything you need to get started. Just add fabric. $15 Appleton: 1-3
