How to Die Cut 1 3/4" Strips:

  • 1 3/4" Strips: Cut 9 1/4" wide strips across the width of fabric to cut five, 13/4" 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 19 strips. 
  • 1 3/4" Squares: Start with a 1 3/4" strip aligning it across the die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 9 1/4" widths. Cut 21, 1 3/4" squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 399 squares. 
  • 45° Diamond-2 1/2" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 3/4" strip. Align your 1 3/4" strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line. 
  • 30° Diamond-3 1/2" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 3/4" strip. Align your 1 3/4" strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line. 
  • 60° Diamond-2 1/8" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 1 3/4" strip. Align your 1 3/4" 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.
