Die Tips
Die Tips
With some fabrics, a thread or two may remain where the die blades meet. Snip these with scissors.
Some dies have blades positioned at an angle — align the fabric with the shape edge, not the edge of the die board.
Use good-quality fabric to reduce stretch.
Always test-cut one piece before cutting multiples to ensure your fabric orientation is correct.
