Print rotary cutting instructions

Use the Rotary Cutting Instructions option to print rotary cutting instructions for your own custom blocks. See also Creating custom patchwork blocks.

Note  Not all patches can be rotary cut. Only blocks that are comprised of simple 3- or 4-sided shapes are suitable. Thus some patches may not appear in the rotary cutting instructions.
