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.
