How to Die Cut Santa Stocking Shapes
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- Cuff: Cut and fuse 8 1/4” x 5 1/8” rectangles. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut seven cuffs across the width of fabric. One yard of 40” wide fabric cuts 28 cuffs.
- Stocking: Cut and fuse 11” x 14 1/8” rectangles. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut two stockings across the width of fabric. One yard of 40” wide fabric cuts six stockings.

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.
