Default For those who use Lawn Fawn

I am just starting out with Lawn Fawn and I am wondering what size stitched rectangle dies you use? I see there are quite a few offered. I specifically want them to stitched around the first layer of my card.
Also, what is your favourite stamp set, and die?
Thanks!

I didn't buy the Lawn Fawn ones because I thought they were too expensive. Instead, I got these for $10 and there are enough options to fit just about any stamp I have:

Just a note of advice with stitched dies:Pay attention to WHERE the stitching is. Some have it only on one side (outside or in), some have both sides of the cutting edge...some are double lines but only on the cut out piece...speaking from experience.
And just know...there are many stitch styles available now. The original straight broken line has progressed...diagonal lines, wonky lines, pierced dot of different sizes...my last buy was cross stitch.

Yep-I was thrilled when Marie jumped into stitched! So much more economical.

I suggest you look at LF's gallery and also on Pinterest for various stitched dies to see size and stuff.

If you make the A2 size cards most of us make; the card base will measure 5 � x 4 �.

So your first layer will typically be 5 � x 4. Read the descriptions carefully when looking at dies to purchase. Most of the time they will give the measurements of each die.


The last set of rectangle dies I purchased were a double stitched style; dashed lines on the cutout part as well as on the piece you cut out from...and they are Simon Says Stamp brand. I liked them because the largest die cuts to that perfect first layer size; 5 1/4 x 4.
