How to Die Cut 5½" Strips:
-
5 1/2" Strips: Cut 6" wide strips across width of fabric to cut one, 5 1/2" strip. 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 six strips.
-
5 1/2" Squares: Start with a 5 1/2" strip aligning it across die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 6" widths. Cut six 5 1/2" squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 36 squares.
-
45° Diamond-7 7/8" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 5 1/2" strip. Align your 5 1/2" strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
-
30° Diamond-11" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 5 1/2" strip. Align your 5 1/2" strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line.
