Please give me some ideas as to what I could do with cut fabric from this tool. Thanks.

Some machine embroidery designers are making their designs with some intricate appliques. These would be tedious to cut out in the usual manner, so cutting them out with the Silhouette would be immensely helpful.

Use a sharp knife instead of scissors. Lay the cloth on a cutting board and slice with a sharp chef knife.

You can cut any foam with a bread knife but you would hafta carefully re sew the cover back together afterward. Snap a chalk line on foam to keep cut straight. Good luck

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 just used a cut up old cotton T-shirt as a cloth. It is very thick but soaks in quickly. I have only used once so far. Am planning on using it as needed when the butcher block starts looking a bit dry.

Yes, if you cut it off the weft you can use it for braiding. It would probably shed less using it for braiding instead of for a sew-in like I did.

You could sew it - ironing on to leather is not a good idea- unlikely to last and will leave damage

I don't know what u r planning to sew. I wanted to sew leather & I bought HD machine. It works great & I love it. I do sew fabric too but I bought it to sew leather & it was perfect for my projects.

I use for cutting out appliqued fabric pieces with paper backing attached. Have not cut individual paper with it. I do believe it would work.

It might help but I wouldn't buy this. All it is, is funny cut foam rubber. Go to your fabric store and buy some 2 inch thick foam rubber.

A circular saw (or SkillSaw) would rip it to pieces! I used a razor knife that had an extendable blade. It's a very soft material that can crumble easily

I think this might be a felting machine, like Simplicity's deluxe felting machine, so you could probably use any fabric that would be suitable for needle felting (fleece, felt, bulky knits, etc.).

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

I'm not sure scissors would do the job. You could probably trim it up with a box cutter or knife.

I has a scrapping blade that comes with it. But I think a heat gun and a putty knife would work better.

I have did not had a lot of success with it. I use heavier fabrics such as burlap, canvas & terry cloth. Have not used on lighter fabrics so not real sure of results on that type of fabric. I resorted to slowing down & keeping my scissors sharp!
