How to Die Cut 3-Color Starry Path Quilt Blocks:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. The die is specially designed to cut one 3-color, 9" block in one pass through the cutter.
- Fabric Color 1: Cut four 10 1/4" x 4" rectangles. Place right side up over shapes A and C to cut.
- Fabric Color 2: Cut two 7 1/4" x 6 1/8" rectangles. Place right side up over shapes B and D to cut.
- Fabric Color 3: Cut two 7 1/4" x 6 1/8" rectangles. Place right side up over shapes B and D to cut.
- TIP: To create a 5-color block, cut four 10 1/4" x 4" rectangles and place right side up over shapes A and C to cut. Then place one 7 1/4" x 6 1/8" rectangle each of four different colors. Place right side up over shapes B and D to cut.

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.
Find Fabric Dies for Your Pattern
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.
