How to Die Cut 2-3/4" Strips:
- 2-3/4" Strips: Cut 8¾" wide strips across width of fabric to cut three, 2-3/4" strips. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll through the cutter first. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 12 strips.
- 2-3/4" Squares: Start with a 2¾" strip aligning it across die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 8¾" widths. Cut 12, 2-3/4" squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 156 squares.
- 45° Diamond-37/8" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2-3/4" strip. Align your 2-3/4" strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
- 30° Diamond-5-1/2" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2-3/4" strip. Align your 2-3/4" strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line.

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.
