PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:

QUBE Cutting Instructions:

Use the Accuquilt 6” QUBE set, the goosetrack die, and strip cutter dies for cutting borders.

To reduce waste, start with the biggest die first when cutting several shapes of the same fabric; this way, you may be able to use leftover strips for the next shape to cut out.
