The Clamshell features four dies that have been meticulously measured to make sure that they are the perfect size to connect to other clamshells cut from the same die. Clamshells are notoriously complicated to work with in quilting and patchwork, but this die will do all of the work for you! Try creating a fish scale-like pattern from fabric or paper!

All you need is a die-cutting machine, a die and your chosen card, paperstock or fabric. Simply place the die with the blade side facing upwards on to your cutting plate. Add your chosen material on top, then sandwich the whole thing with another cutting plate. Slowly roll this through your die-cutting machine and you'll be left with a crisp cut every time.

If you want to cut multiple layers of fabric into accurate shapes, these dies are perfect for you. You can create precise pieces for quilting and patchwork, or more intricate shapes for applique.

For papercrafters, these dies can provide you with a whole host of detailed embellishments for your card or scrapbook projects.

Some dies may have sharp points, edges or corners. Exhibit caution when using these dies and do not leave them unattended near children. Not intended for use by any child under the age of 14.
