How to Die Cut Luggage Tag Shapes:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- To cut one Luggage Tag:
- Cut a 11" x 4 1/4" rectangle out of cork, leather or other material. Place over all shapes to cut one front, back and strap piece.
- Cut a 5" x 3 1/4" rectangle of clear vinyl or plastic. Place over the back shape and cut one.

Die Tips:
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- 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.
