• Fanfold into 5½" widths and place on the die, covering the blades.

Die Tips

• If a thread or two remains where blades meet, simply snip with scissors.
• Some blades sit at an angle—align fabric to the shape's edge, not the die board edge.
• Use high-quality fabrics to reduce stretch or distortion.
• Always test cut one piece before cutting many to ensure correct grain direction and orientation.
