GO! 55960 English Paper Piecing Honeycomb-1" Finished Sides

How to Die Cut EPP Honeycomb Shapes:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.

• Fabric Honeycomb Shape: Cut 5 3/4" wide strips across the width of fabric. Fold into 5 1/4" lengths. Position fabric on die over large honeycomb shape. Cut 28 large honeycombs across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 168 honeycombs.
• Paper Honeycomb Shape: Cut 22 small honeycomb shapes out of 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper or cardstock.

Tip: Notecards and old business cards make excellent papers.

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.
