It is much the same as papercrafting with a Bigz die - one cutting pad on the bottom, then the die foam side up, then your fabric (you can layer this up to 6 or 8 depending on the fabric) and then your top cutting pad. Happy quilting!Sizzixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409280588820797240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188615508162579746.post-44853256783889630432013-02-21T22:51:56.277+00:002013-02-21T22:51:56.277+00:00Hi Katy, I love your quilts!
