How to Die Cut Butterflies:
Apply fusible web product to the wrong side of the fabric, following manufacturer’s instructions, before cutting for fusible appliqué.
Tip: Fuse and cut using charm squares or 5" x 5" squares of fabric so you can mix and match the fabrics for butterflies with different color wings.
Top Wings: Cut and fuse 2" x 2" squares. Cut 20 wings across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 360 wings. Note: wings are directional so be sure you are cutting both sides!
Body: Cut and fuse 3/4" x 2 1/4" rectangles. Cut 40 bodies across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 640 bodies.
Bottom Wings: Cut and fuse 2 1/4" x 3" rectangles. Cut 17 wings across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 204 wings. Note: wings are directional so be sure you are cutting both sides!

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.
