How to Die Cut Tumbler Shapes:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- To Fanfold Fabric: Cut 7" strips across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 7" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut five tumblers across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 25 tumblers.
- To Use Scraps: Place scraps or 10" precut squares over tumbler blade areas.
