How to Die Cut 5" Squares:
• For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
• Cut 10-1/2" strips across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 5-1/2" widths. Place on selected blade and cut.
• Cut 14 squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 42 squares.
