How to Die Cut 3″ Finished Bowties:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- Cut a 4 1/2″ strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4 1/2″ widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 32 bowties blocks across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 256 bowties.

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.
