How to Die Cut 3-Color Joseph’s Coat Block:
For best cutting results, position the fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. Tip: The die is specially designed to cut one complete 11″ finished block (up to 13 colors) in two passes through the cutter.
Follow the instructions for each pass:
- Fabric Color 1 (white/background): Cut three 6 1/2″ x 5 3/4″ rectangles. Place right side up over shape A to cut three shapes.
- Fabric Color 2 (select 1-6 colors): Cut six 6 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ rectangles. Place right side up over shape B to cut six shapes of the same color or a variety of colors.
