The put the fabric right in the middle of the die and the cut and hold up the leftover fabric and there is a big hole in the middle, but even then, we cut that into smaller pieces. I'd rather they use the die cutter than rotary because no sliced fingers that way. It's all in the training of how to use the cutter. There are plenty of videos out there to teach you how to use them correctly. I do believe Ebony has a couple (hundred) :)marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788813592882858065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409904.post-74925531763168597842013-11-27T12:48:28.164-05:002013-11-27T12:48:28.164-05:00Flo, if you make a mistake cutting, just set those...Flo, if you make a mistake cutting, just set those pieces aside - you may be able to use them in another block.<br /><br />I know EDeN is pretty new for folks, but I appreciate you all being willing to learn something new!<br /><br />ebonyEbony Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921326129078398023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409904.post-23282385653021995112013-11-27T11:25:38.758-05:002013-11-27T11:25:38.758-05:00I was kinda hoping that there was more waste with ...I was kinda hoping that there was more waste with die cutting....because I have wasted more than that making mistakes in cutting with the rotary cutter (new to EDeN!!), so I am hoping that I dont run short of fabric!!Flo @ Butterfly Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526024695998355238noreply@blogger.com
