Block Wednesday!
My theme this week is picking flowers, which might be the BEST part of being a gardener right? Go out to your own flower beds and pick a vase full of blooms! Divine! I have an old splatterware jug that belonged to Gregg's grandmother. I fill it each spring.
We also have the next set of small blocks, so fun! This is a PERFECT time to use up smaller pieces to make a scrappy block. Keep reading to see my tips and the section together, then the Download for my pattern this week is in PINK
TIPS FOR DIE CUTTING
- Always move your dies around so that you don't keep cutting on the same section.
- I've found that when I angle the die on the shim it does a few things. First it more evenly distributes the die across the roller that is pressing to cut the fabric. Which means it won't be as loud.
- It also creates more even pressing areas on the shims so that you don't have a hard line. That keeps the shims from bending as much.
- I live with an engineer, he had to play with this to figure it out. it's what they do.. they can't help themselves. Do you know an engineer? Then you know what I mean!
** BUY A GEMINI Die Cut machine, I love mine! **
