GO! Grizzly Strip Cutter-2 1/2" (2" Finished) 4 Strips Die

How to Die Cut 2 1/2" Strips:

• 2 1/2" Strips: Cut 10 1/2" wide strips across the width of fabric to cut four 2 1/2" 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 13 strips in one pass through the cutter.
• 2 1/2" Squares: Start with a 2 1/2" strip aligning it across the die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 10 1/2" widths. Cut 15, 2 1/2" squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 195 squares.
• 45° Diamond-3 5/8" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2 1/2" strip aligning it across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
• 30° Diamond-5" Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2 1/2" strip aligning it across the die board to the left 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.
