18L 18 mm / 0.71 in fabric cutting die prepares circular fabric pieces before the button-covering stage. The set includes Mapa, cutting blade and Polyemit base, helping maintain more consistent sizing during repeated preparation. This tool cuts the fabric only; a separate compatible covering die is required to form the finished covered button.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size fabric does it cut?
It prepares an 18 mm / 0.71 in circular fabric piece.
Are 18L and 18 mm the same measurement?
No. 18L identifies the size class, while 18 mm / 0.71 in is the fabric cutting diameter.
Does it cover the button?
No. It cuts the fabric only; a separate compatible covering die is required.
What is included in the set?
Mapa, cutting blade and Polyemit base.
Should I test my fabric first?
Yes. A sample cut is recommended, especially for thick, stretch or multilayer fabrics.
