Will it cut multiple layers of fabric?

From my standpoint, this was a piece of junk! It couldn't cut anything so threw it away after a number of tries. I would have taken it back to the store for a refund but it was long after the return policy. I kept hoping I owuld find the secret to making it work but never did.

doubt it can cut it at all! More for fabric, cardboard, leather etc. Blade is similar to serrated not a saw type blade. try plywood blade on skill saw or a router or a band saw

Yes you use it to transfer multi piece cutouts to clothing ( vinyls, iron one etc) to maintain the pattern. Unless you are using an extremely delicate fabric, you shouldn't have a problem using it with fabric.

i haven't tried, but I don't see why not if you use a Big Shot or Big Kick machine; but I would only try a single layer of fabric.

Yes!, I have cut leather too. But, it has a fairly short blade, I find for fabric a longer blade makes for smoother cutting.

I just tried it with both felt and cotton fabrics. A single layer punches ok, but fabric and felt were both 'pulled' into hole and punched hole had to be finished with scissors.. Double layers of both cut fine and were stiff enough to cut hole all the way through without having to trim with scissors. Triple layer of cotton punched fine; but felt was too thick.

The good news is that it will cut through all five layers of Sunbrella...the bad news is that you'll have to do it in multiple passes otherwise you'll burn the top layers. Make a cut, pull both sides of the fabric away, make another cut. I used it to cut through 2 layers of awning fabric without a problem but you have to watch the heat build-up. For what it's worth, I found this knife to be good for the occasional job but it was always set on the upper end of the heat range for marine awning/fabric work and I burned it out in a year...factory said they couldn't repair it, offered me $10 off a replacement. I declined, and bought an Engel HSG hot knife and found it to be a much better tool.

I have only used it on cotton fabrics so far but I searched on line and saw several people say they have used it on very heavy fabrics and denim and that it should sew any heavy fabric.

Hi, The pressure you apply may be the problem. I do not go fast, slow and heavy handed does the trick. I use mine for fleece fabric and only use the cutter with one layer. If I was using a fabric such as cotton, I know it would go through 2 layers. Hope this helps. Joannie �

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

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!

I have cut through layers of canvas, movers blankets, thick ornamental fabrics. I haven't tried cords or quiltings yet but haven't any doubt that they will do as they should...

If it's adjusted to the correct temperature, it will cut synthetic fabrics smoothly...

It will. might take longer on areas that weren't previously edged, but it will cut pretty well.

I have never used it to cut fabric. it cuts heavy cardstock and chipboard, so I would assume with the proper dies, it would and could easily cut fabric.

I haven't tried that, but i would think it would. I have driven it through 3 layers of fabric and it could certainly handle more. I am more than pleased with the product.

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.
