GO! Log Cabin - 12” Finished by Leslie Main (#55349)

How to Die Cut Log Cabin Quilt Blocks:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. For three complete 2-color blocks, cut three layers of two  different fabric colors at a time.

• Cut 23" strips across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 6 1/2" widths. Place on selected blades and cut. Cut five block sets across width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts six block sets.

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.
