Would you recommend for cutting fabric circles?

No. The blade doesn't sit in tight. Mine also came with the seal on the packaging open and didn't have all of the spare blades it said it was coming with.

I'm sure you could, but the cut edges would be ratty. They would be easy enough to sew or serge, if you're handy that way.

Yes, it would be very easy to use. Just put your template and fabric onto the mat, cut 1 or 2 sides of the template, and then turn the mat to cut the remaining sides. Much easier than moving the fabric to cut.

Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing. That is the kind of edge that comes from the manufacturer. It is a huge mat for rolling out cookies, dough, and pie crust, but could be used for any other purpose where a silicone mat is desirable. My counters are wide because of an overhang for a breakfast bar, so I love the oversize. But you could be very economical and cut smaller sizes from one big sheet easily. I would not think cutting with scissors would work well, however - use a rotary cutter and mat or find someone who has one. hope this helps you. Sharon

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

It depends on what you plan to use them for. The serrated blades are amazing for fine fabrics (such as silk) that need a little "grab" so the fabric doesn't slip while you are cutting. I like the blunt tip for heavier fabrics like upholstery and leather.

Yes, it's easy to cut any of the shapes. Save the extra, too. I make them last as long as I can.

You can use them in the sewing room. Good for snipping thread. Short blade sfor cutting out fabric

Yes you can do that, I used this to remake my sofa and cut it in pieces also , no problem , scissors are not good idea , use something that cut vinyl or carpet , my sofa looks like new again , very nice , it become more firm under the fabric but still soft when you sit on that , highly recommended , the edges will get nice and round after you cover them with fabric

On the felt that I used yes! I tried it on some netting and it does well. To cut fabric, the only thing I can see that would hinder it is if you do not have the fabric down in a manner not to allow the blade to move well. I have made a quilt using the Disappearing Nine Patch. I know after I sew the nine patch back together for second or third or fourth cuts, The problem is the build up the layers of fabric and thread at the seams. That is why, I say with confidence, as long as you have your fabric down correctly on a good cutting board there should be no problem. I have had no problems.

I see no reason why you couldn't do that as long as you don't cut the hard supports. Cutting the cloth should be fine. They work very well. Hope this helps.

I have never tried that but if the sheets are Styrofoam remember that Styrofoam is beaded so you will not get a clean cut. also the thickness of the sheet will matter. I hope this helps. Thanks, Joe

They are quite sharp, so I think they would work for thinner fabrics. I know they could cut through a standard thickness wool felt, but fleece might be too thick. They are definitely not as sharp as sewing scissors.

It will cut cotton. I have also been successful cutting acrylic felt but forget about wool felt or other types of fabric. Also be aware that to cut any fabric you have to back it with fairly heavy iron on adhesive. This isn't always ideal for things like appliqu since it will create a very stiff quilt.

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.

It would probably work, but I would suggest putting copier paper on top of the fabric before putting the cutting mat down. Scrap paper is okay as long as the print is not on the fabric. This will keep the fabric from shifting. I would also try less layers (2 instead of 6) .

No, it's more for straight cuts. You could cut an octagon out an then use a sander to smooth the sides to a circle. I suggest a jig saw but you will need to buy a blade for cutting acrylic & plexiglass.
