Can this machine cut Spandex?

I haven't tried it but if you get the product Terial Magic and use that to stiffen the fabric before cutting, it should work. I've been using that stiffener for felt and cotton and it works great.

You could but cutting mats are wider than the sewing table (table is 7 1/2 x 39 inches)

Yes I've cut felt, fleece, flannel, minky and a ton of regular cotton. Love this cutter!

I used mine to cut cotton fabric, it does a fine job. I have not changed the blade yet. Happy sewing!

No, it is not designed for that. It is designed for cross-cutting, not ripping.

Not really. This is light weight silk and needs the edges to be oversewn (or rolled) or attached to a stabilizer to be cut on exact edges.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The textile is light weight, woven and nylon or polymer-based. It's thicker than rip-stop nylon tarps are but it's loose knit would almost certainly result in fraying if cut. Unless of course you're good with an industrial sewing machine? The bound edges are heavy duty to resist the tensioning. You would have to replicate this if you were to cut it. I'd recommend just buying the smaller versions which are also available at your local home supply.

I run a small business & do a lot of sewing. I have use this machine on just about every type of fabric. If you have the correct needles & thread, you can do just about anything with it. they also take a good amount of abuse as well. I can honestly say that it probably was not designed for 1/3 of the things I've done with it..lol but it always comes through with flying colors for me.

Wouldn't recommend...would probably tear fabric..tines very sharp. Hope this helps.

Yes. It takes a good tool or large scissors but then it cuts much like any heavy fabric.

Yes. Since it is a large piece of material, you can cut it to fit your needs.

It can be cut but it's fiberglass cloth once cut will unravel .. The perimeter has a seam sewn around it to prevent the cloth from unraveling. Hope this helps.

I suppose. Not with scissors. It has a frame too. So prob with saw or a similar tool. Not sure.

I highly doubt it will trim fabric. I have trouble getting it to cut some of the paper I need to cut! Unless it's fairly stiff paper, I'm better off with an X-Acto knife and ruler.

The short answer: YES. That said, the material is substantial, and ideally one should use some sharp tools to cut neat and straight lines and to avoid cracking. A cut-off wheel, like a Roto-Zip tool would be ideal, or any power cutting tool. You could also use a hot knife tool to score nice, neat lines and then snap off. A heavy pair of shears would be a third choice.

Yes you can cut it. I bought to use at my daughter's wedding it worked well for the wagon the flower girl was put in. Hope this helps

No--Machine is too small--like cutting the lawn with the scissors--Rent a commercial machine or have a pro come in to do it --b
