How to Die Cut 4 1/2" Strips:

• 4 1/2" Strips: Cut 9 1/2" wide strips across width of fabric to cut two, 4 1/2" strips. Position fabric on die so fold of fabric is perpendicular to cutting blades and will roll through the cutter first. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts seven strips.
• 4 1/2" Squares: Start with a 4 1/2" strip aligning it across die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 9 1/2" widths. Cut eight 4 1/2" squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 56 squares.
• 45° Diamond-6 3/8" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 4 1/2" strip. Align your 4 1/2" strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
• 30° Diamond-9" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 4 1/2" strip. Align your 4 1/2" strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line.
• 60° Diamond-5 1/4" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 4 1/2" strip. Align your 4 1/2" strip across the die board to the right side of the 60° guide line.

Die Tips:

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
• 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.
