• 45° Diamond-2 1/8" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 1/2" strip. Align your 1 1/2" strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line. 
• 30° Diamond-3" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 1/2" strip. Align your 1 1/2" strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° 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.
