How to Die Cut 3-Color Alabama Beauty Block:
For best cutting 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 complete 3-color 10" block in one pass through the cutter.
- Fabric Color 1: Cut four 8 1/8" x 4" rectangles. Place right side up over shape A to cut.
- Fabric Color 2: Cut four 6" x 2 1/2" rectangles. Place right side up over shape B to cut.
- Fabric Color 3: Cut two 6 1/4" x 8 1/2" rectangles. Fanfold rectangles, then place over shapes C to get mirror shapes when cutting.
