How to Die Cut Home Shapes:
Apply fusible web product to the wrong side of the fabric, following manufacturer’s instructions, before cutting for fusible appliqué.
- House: Cut and fuse 3 3/4" x 4 1/2" rectangles. Cut eight houses across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 72 houses.
- Roof: Cut and fuse 3 1/4" x 4 3/8" rectangles. Cut 12 roofs across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 96 roofs.
- Smaller Shapes: Place pre-fused 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.
