How to Die Cut 2-Color Morning star Quilt Blocks: 

For best results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.  Tip: The die is specially designed to cut one 2-color, 12" block in one pass through the cutter. 

Fabric Color 1: Cut three 12" x 4 1/4" rectangles and place over A shapes.  Cut two 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" squares and place over B shapes. 
Fabric Color 2: Cut three 12" x 4 1/4" rectangles and place over A shapes. 

Note: You will have two extra isosceles triangle shapes for each color.  Set aside for future blocks.

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.


CARE & MAINTENANCE

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.
