Cutting Swatches & Kits

Several layers of precut fabric can be stacked face up to give you large quantities of swatches fast, ready to be packaged for sale or use. Here are a few samples.

Step 1: Precut fabric for the size of desired swatches.

For 4" squares, cut off 20-1/2" pieces from the bolt.

For 5" squares, cut off 25-1/2" pieces from the bolt.

For 6" squares, cut off 24-1/2" pieces from the bolt.

The dimensions given allow for trimming of the waste edges.

Unfold and stack the fabric in layers.

Unfold and stack 10 to 12 layers of fabric. It may be necessary to use a larger rotary cutter (60mm) to cut thicker stacks of fabric.

Cut out the fold.

Cut about 1/4" on each side of the fold.

Make vertical cuts.

Place the cutting guide on the front rail and make vertical cuts. Using Mat-Saver Strips speed up this process.

Make horizontal cuts with the short cutting guide.

Place the cutting guide on a side rail and make horizontal cuts. Again, using your Mat-Saver Strips. Then...

... move the cutting guide to the other side rail and make horizontal cuts.

Or use the Big "T"
