How to Die Cut Equilateral Triangle Shapes:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.

• 1" Sided Triangle: Cut a 2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 2 5/8" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 30 equilateral triangles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 540 equilateral triangles. 
• 1 1/2" Sided Triangle: Cut a 2 1/2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3 3/8" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 22 equilateral triangles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 308 equilateral triangles. 
• 2 1/2" Sided Triangle: Cut a 3 1/4" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4 7/8" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 16 equilateral triangles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 176 equilateral triangles.

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.
