Die Tips :
Die Tips :
- With some fabrics, a few threads may remain where the blades meet. Simply snip with scissors.
- Some die blades are positioned at an angle. Always align fabric to the edge of the shape, not the edge of the die board.
- Use good-quality fabric to reduce stretching.
- Always test cut one shape first to ensure fabric placement and orientation are correct.
