WOW! Your eyes must be much better than mine! I cannot see a line marked with a black marker on the black foam of the studio dies, so I use a metallic sharpie. Also, I ordered all my strip cutter dies in the narrower format. You get fewer cuts, but I don't precut or square up my fabric and the narrow die lets me put the excess fabric in the tray. Because I don't square the fabric up first, I mark a line to keep everything straight, especially the first cut.
