How to Die Cut 1", 1 1/2" and 2" Strips:
- 1", 1 1/2", 2" Strips:Â Cut 5" wide strips across the width of fabric to cut one of each strip size. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll thru the cutter first. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts seven of each strip size.Â
- 1" Strips:Â Cut 1 1/2" wide strip across the width of fabric. Identify the two blades that create the 1" cut strip. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll thru the cutter first. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 24 strips.Â
- 1 1/2" Strips:Â Cut 2" wide strip across the width of fabric. Identify the two blades that create the 1 1/2" cut strip. Follow steps above. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 18 strips.Â
- 2" Strips:Â Cut 2 1/2" wide strip across the width of fabric. Identify the two blades that create the 2" cut strip. Follow steps above. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 14 strips.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
