How to Die Cut 3-Color Joseph’s Coat Block:
For best cutting results, position the fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. Tip: The die is specially designed to cut one complete 11" finished block (up to 13 colors) in two passes through the cutter.
Follow the instructions for each pass:
- Fabric Color 1 (white/background): Cut three 6 1/2" x 5 3/4" rectangles. Place right side up over shape A to cut three shapes.
- Fabric Color 2 (select 1-6 colors): Cut six 6 1/2" x 2 3/4" rectangles. Place right side up over shape B to cut six shapes of the same color or a variety of colors.

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.
