How to Die Cut 2-Color Pineapple Quilt Blocks:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
-
Fabric Color 1: Cut one 3" x 3" square over shape A and cut; then cut two 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" squares over shape H and cut; and finally cut four 9" x 3 5/8" rectangles over shapes C/E/F/G and cut.
-
Fabric Color 2: Cut four 7 1/2" x 3 5/8" rectangles over shapes B/D/E/F and cut. Note: Instructions for cutting a 3-color and 4-color block included in die packaging.

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.
