How to use this template:
- Print at 100% (default). Do not scale, shrink, or use "fit to page."
- To size your machine: Cut out the circle closest to your die size, cutting on the solid black line. It should fit snugly into your most shallow die.
-
To size your supplies: Lay your metal parts and Mylar over the image.
- Metal parts → fit inside the dotted line
- Mylar → fits inside the solid black line
