How to Die Cut 2-Color Spider Web Quilt Blocks:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. For 2-color unit, cut two layers of one fabric color and two layers of a contrasting fabric color at a time.Â
- Cut two 8 1/2" x 4" rectangles. Place one layer of fabric and one contrasting layer of fabric right side up over shapes A, B, C and D to cut shapes.
- Cut two 6" x 4" rectangles. Place one layer of fabric and one contrasting layer of fabric wrong side up over shapes B, C and D to cut shapes.Â
- For a 2-color design, 10 cuts across the width of fabric yield enough pieces for five complete blocks; and one yard of 40" wide fabric in each color will yield 20 blocks.Â

Die Tips:Â
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.Â
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.Â
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.Â
- It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.Â
