How to Die Cut 2" Squares:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.Â
- Cut a 6 1/2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4 1/2" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 48 squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 240 squares.

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
