Setting Triangles Basics
Quilt blocks can be set in straight settings with blocks in horizontal or vertical rows or they can be set in on-point settings with the blocks set at a 45° diagonal. In on-point quilts, setting triangles are the triangles located on the outside edges and corners of the quilt. When quilt blocks are set on-point, it often means that the straight of grain is set on the diagonal or bias (i.e., most susceptible to stretching). To stabilize the outer edges of the quilt, it’s critical for setting triangles to be cut on the lengthwise grain so the straight of grain is on what will be the two outside edges of the triangles. The math to cut setting triangles correctly can be confusing which makes creating on-point quilts somewhat intimidating for quilters at any skill level. AccuQuilt Studio Setting Triangle dies are specially designed to accurately cut multiple setting triangles—both side and corner—on the lengthwise grain in one pass through the cutter. No math required! Five sizes available—6”, 8”, 9”, 10” & 12” finished.

Die Tips:
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Use cutting mats that matches size of each die.
- For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
- For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
- 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.
