GO! Bowties – 4″ Finished by Alex Anderson Die (#55413) – Discontinued AccuQuilt

How to Die Cut 2-Color Bowtie Quilt Blocks:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. 

• 2 1/2″ Squares: Cut a 10 1/2″ strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3″ widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 52 squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 156 squares. 
• 1 1/2″ Squares: Cut a 3 1/2″ strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 2″ widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 40 squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 400 squares.

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.
