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.

- 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.
