GO! Strip Cutter – 2 – 3/4” (2 – 1/4” Finished) 3 Strips (#55489) AccuQuilt

How to Die Cut 2-3/4″ Strips:

• 2-3/4″ Strips: Cut 8¾” wide strips across width of fabric to cut three, 2-3/4″ 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 12 strips.
• 2-3/4″ Squares: Start with a 2¾” strip aligning it across die board with the 90° guide line. Fanfold into 8¾” widths. Cut 12, 2-3/4″ squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 156 squares.
• 45° Diamond-37/8″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2-3/4″ strip. Align your 2-3/4″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 45° guide line.
• 30° Diamond-5-1/2″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2-3/4″ strip. Align your 2-3/4″ strip across the die board to the right side of the 30° guide line.
• 60° Diamond-3-1/8″ Cut Side Edge: Start with a 2-3/4″ strip. Align your 2-3/4″ 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.
