Die Tips

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
• Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
• It’s always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
