Invaluable resources, at your fingertips
We want to be the industry leader in resources and information for all die cutting quilters. We’re not claiming that we can write and cover every single topic, but over time, we CAN be a central hub to connect you to all the wonderful people who are just as geeked about their die cutters as we are.

Digital style, printable file
We try to make our magazine as beautiful on screen as it would if it were printed. Sure, we’re not as glossy and slick as the pubs with art departments, but our ad-lean, visually clean and consistent format means you can find what you need quickly and easily. We’re pretty proud of our two-page spreads too, making double-sided printing a no-brainer if you choose to print your copy.

Ideas & inspiration to spark your creativity
Every cutting chart comes with up to 4 block sizes, at least one sample quilt layout, and yardage calculations. But feel free to take these ideas and make them your own. We have way more ideas for quilts than time to make them! From time to time, we’ll also post pattern instructions and other goodies for selected quilts as a bonus for our subscribers.

This is YOUR magazine…
Don’t assume we know what you need, and don’t let us assume it either. It’s easy enough to make adjustments if you’re willing to give us feedback, and together we can turn this magazine into the #1 resource for fabric die cutting enthusiasts. (Yes, we’re quite fond of that phrase.)
