How to Die Cut 2 15/16″ x 3 7/8″ Parallelograms:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. 

• Cut a 10 1/2″ strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 2 5/8″ widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 30 parallelograms across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 90 parallelograms.

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.
