How to Die Cut 3-Colour Airplane Blocks

• Cut more fabric in less time.
• Achieve accurate cuts every time, without slipping rulers or mistakes.
• Easy to use: simply place the die on the cutter, then position the fabric and cutting mat on top.
• Save fabric with Two Tone Foam. Get more out of your fabric by placing it only over the shape you want to cut.
• Safe to use, with no blades coming anywhere near your fingers.

• With some fabrics, a thread or two may remain where the die blades meet after cutting. Snip any loose threads with scissors.
• The blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align the fabric with the edge of the shape, rather than the edge of the die board.
• Use good-quality fabric to reduce stretching.
• It's always a good idea to test-cut one shape before cutting multiple shapes to ensure the fabric is positioned correctly.
