Rag quilts are quick and easy with this die that eliminates cutting
the fringe by hand. Soft rag squares are perfect for baby and children's
quilts, tote bags and pillows. Add a layer of batting (3 1/4" squares)
for especially warm quilts perfect for fall football games or outdoor
gatherings. Designed to sew from first cut to last cut with a 1" seam
allowance and 3/4" fringe cut a consistent 1/4" wide. Four Rag Square-5

Care & Maintenance: Use
adhesive lint roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each
use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads
imbedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught
where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades
never need to be sharpened.
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.
