As someone who has been using Accuquilt dies for a few years now, I have learned a thing or two about how to store them properly. I’ve had my fair share of frustration trying to find a specific die or having one get damaged because it was not stored properly. So, I thought I’d share some tips that have worked well for me in the hopes of helping other quilters avoid similar issues.
Keep them organized: This may seem obvious, but it’s crucial. I like to keep my dies grouped together based on size and shape. This way, when I need a specific die, I can quickly find it without having to dig through a pile of them.
Use clear containers: I found that clear containers are a great way to keep my dies organized and easily visible. I can see what’s inside without having to open each container, saving me time and frustration.
Store them vertically: Storing the dies vertically helps prevent any damage that might occur from stacking them on top of each other. This way, each die is protected, and I can easily see the label for each one.
Keep them protected: Accuquilt dies are made of steel, which is a durable material, but they still need to be protected from dings, scratches, and other forms of damage. I like to store my dies in containers with foam or soft material to protect them from any bumps or impacts.
Label the containers: Labeling the containers helps me quickly identify which dies are inside. I also like to include a small image of the die on the label, making it even easier to identify.
Properly storing your Accuquilt dies is an important step in maintaining their longevity and ensuring that you can quickly find the die you need when you need it. By following these simple tips, you can keep your dies organized, protected, and easily accessible. Happy quilting!
