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 appliqué, 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.

I have not used the 10 inch cutter as yet.
A bit misleading how the picture on the front shows a square and the cutter itself is on an angle. Why not show the picture as the cutter being on an angle.
I purchased the cutter to make 10 inch squares for projects. Not sure how they will turn out now.

Hi Carol,
The reason the reason the die is on an angle is for ease of cutting. The shapes on the dies are angled slightly to keep the blades from running parallel through the roller. Think of it as a speed bump — you angle head on. The cut itself is square and will not affect any projects. Just remember to line the fabric up with the blades- not the sides of the die. Debbie

This is the first die I used and it cuts perfect 10″ squares. I like using 10″ squares for quilt as you go projects. I have been preparing lot’s of 10″ squares and using up some of my fabric stashes. I will get a lot of use out of this die.
