How to Die Cut Flowering Snowball Quilt Blocks:

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

TIP: For each Flowering Snowball quilt block, you will need four convex pieces, four concave pieces and one small square. 

• Concave Piece Shape A: Cut a 13 3/4" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 7" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 10, A shapes across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 20, A shapes. 
• Convex Piece Shape B: Cut a 6 1/2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 9" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut eight B shapes across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 40, B shapes. 
• Square Shape C: Cut a 2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 1 7/8" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 21, C shapes across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 378, C shapes.

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.
