Learn how to set up and use the Accuquilt GO! Die 50831 Wire Storage Rack to keep your dies organized, protected, and easy to access.

Quick Answer

Set up the Accuquilt GO! Die 50831 Wire Storage Rack by choosing a stable, accessible spot, inserting dies with the cutting edge facing up, and stacking up to five racks securely.

Why a dedicated die rack beats stacking dies flat

Storing dies flat in a drawer or bin makes them hard to find and risks damage to the cutting edges. A wire storage rack keeps each die visible and within reach, so you can grab the right shape without sorting through a pile.

The Accuquilt GO! Die 50831 Wire Storage Rack is designed specifically for GO! and Studio dies, so it fits your existing collection without guesswork.

Trade-off: rack capacity vs. floor space

Each rack holds up to five dies, which is great for a compact setup, but if you own more than five dies you will need multiple racks. Plan your storage area to accommodate several racks stacked or side by side, keeping the most-used dies at eye level.

Step-by-Step Setup and Organization

Choose a stable, flat surface: Place the rack on a sturdy table or shelf where it won't wobble. Avoid high shelves that require stretching to reach dies. Ensure the surface is level to prevent dies from sliding.
Insert dies with the cutting edge facing up: Slide each die into a slot with the cutting edge facing upward. This protects the blade and makes it easy to see which die is which. Double-check orientation before inserting to avoid dulling the blade.
Group dies by project or shape: Organize dies in the rack by project type (e.g., quilting, appliqué) or by shape (e.g., strips, hexagons). This speeds up your workflow. Label the rack or use color-coded tabs if you have multiple racks.
Stack racks securely: If you have more than one rack, stack them only if the design allows. Ensure the bottom rack is fully supported to prevent tipping. Test stability by gently pushing the stack before loading all dies.
Place the rack near your cutting station: Keep the rack within arm's reach of your GO! cutter to minimize steps between cutting and storing. If space is tight, mount the rack on a wall or under a shelf, if the rack design supports it.
