How to Die Cut Crazy Quilt Blocks:Â
For Best Cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.Â
- Tip: To create a scrappy Crazy Quilt Block: Use at least 10 assorted prints. Cut five layers of fabric for the first pass through the cutter and then cut five layers for the second pass through the cutter.
- Cut 10, 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" squares (or use 10" x 10" precut Layer Cake squares). Place on selected die blade and cut in two passes through the cutter. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 12 complete Crazy Quilt Blocks.

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