Accuquilt GO! Kite 4" finished Die

How to Die Cut 2-Color Kite Quilt Blocks:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. Cover shape A with four layers of one fabric color and shape B with four layers of a contrasting fabric color and cut.

• Kite-Center: Cut a 5" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 5" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 8 kite centers across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 56 kite centers. 
• Kite-Sides: Cut a 3 1/2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 5 1/8" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 14 kite sides across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 140 kite sides.

• 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.
