GO! Square - 2 3/4" (2 1/4" Finished) Die (#55395)

How to Die Cut 2 3/4" Squares:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. 

• Cut a 8 3/4" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3 1/4" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 36 squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 144 squares.

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.
