And remember to mark your dies. I use a sharpie metallic. Silver seems to work the best. On a strip cutter, I extend the blade lines out to the end of the dies, and mark the entire length of the 2 outside blades. Then I mark a perpendicular line where the blades end. This way it's easy to position your fabric because you know exactly where the blade is.
I actually have the Studio, and if I have the option of a couple different strip dies, I always get the narrower one, this way you don't even have to subcut your fabric because there is room for the excess to ride along in the tray.
