Feathers have long been a favorite motif for quilters. This die cuts perfect straight and curved feathers that can be used as an applique design element. Apply fusible web to the wrong side of fabrics and cut for applique shapes that are ready to fuse and applique. Use for original or traditional applique designs, flower petals, angel wings, raindrops and feathered border designs. Die packaging includes project directions for a Feathers To GO! table runner.

Cuts three 1 3/8"W x 2 7/16"H (3 cm x 6 cm) and three 1 7/16"W x 2 3/4"H (4 cm x 7 cm) feathers. Use 5" x 10" cutting mat (55110).

Die Tips:

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
• Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
• For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
• Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
• For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
• 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
