How to Die Cut Santa Stocking Shapes
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- Cuff: Cut and fuse 8 1/4” x 5 1/8” rectangles. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut seven cuffs across the width of fabric. One yard of 40” wide fabric cuts 28 cuffs.
- Stocking: Cut and fuse 11” x 14 1/8” rectangles. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut two stockings across the width of fabric. One yard of 40” wide fabric cuts six stockings.

Die Tips:
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
- For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
- For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
- 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.
Use adhesive roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads imbedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.
