Die Tips:

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
• Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
• For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
• Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
• For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
• 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.
