How to Die Cut Gingham Dog Shapes:
Apply fusible web product to the wrong side of the fabric, following manufacturer’s instructions, before cutting for fusible appliqué. Place fabric on die right sides together to cut pairs.
- Dog: Cut and fuse 5" x 4 3/8" rectangles. Layer on selected blade and cut. Cut nine dogs across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 63 dogs.
- Ear: Place scraps on blade and cut.

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.
