Big Shot for fabric? There is a post that says the Big Shot does not cut fabric, is this true?

The Big Shot does indeed cut fabric if you use the correct dies for it. What the Big Shot will cut is more dependent on what dies you use. If you use Sizzix brand Original or Bigz lines, they will cut 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.

No is short answer. Mine after all this time are just now not sharp enough for fabric...took that long...as far as I know the scissors have not been made for years and I intend on getting more while still available...I should say, they were already discontinued for a while before I bought mine on same advice from friend, get them while you can...and GLAD I did

Yes - the pic is pretty true to life. But it's not meant for heavy fabrics. FYI. Over all a great, little, quick fix.

I don't believe this does but I think there is another Aleene's product that is specifically for fabric like you are looking for.

I only use it on paper. My instinct tells me it would not work on fabric since it smears even after I've let it dry overnight (and it would probably smear when washed). But maybe some one else has had success.

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.

It depends on what you want to do with the Cameo. I bought it primarily to cut fabric for applique so I bought the fabric kit bundle because it included both size mats and the fabric blade. It comes with a regular blade so if I want to cut something other than fabric (like vinyl) I can use the standard blade to cut with.

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

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 &#128516;

So I'm in the same boat looking for sisal fabric to recover my post... I don't find anything, which is a bummer, but I'll keep looking as I can't see spending another $40+ on a new post when this one is just great for balance etc. I've taken off the ends and it should be easy to recover if I can find something to work. I may just have to find a cheaper rug with sisal or a tightly woven fabric of another fiber and use that. Sorry the company hasn't moved ahead in that direction to provide an option other than buying a new post. Economics I suppose...

Yes, just be careful and try different settings on depth guard and try inside garment first. I remove depth guard and just lightly pass over fabric continuously until desired result is achieved.

Anything with a stretch this will not work on. For 100% cotton, I can not speak as I have not tried it. But stretch and knits it does not work on.

i wonder what kind of material you are using it on and what you are trying to get out of the fabric? Some fabrics won't release dog hair, no matter how good the brush I've noticed!

This die was not included in the set I purchased. I have not tried it but if it is as well articulated as all my other dies (many) it should work out just fine. For your other question a rag quilt can be cut to any size or geometric shape. The method of piecing is the same for all. I have made several and I have a special cutting scissor for the fringe. I ruined two pair of good scissors making these quilts. It is spring loaded and easier on the hands, it is sold bY Janome. If you are going to make more than a few I would think the cutter is a good investment. The fringe is the most time consuming and difficult part of the assembly.

No, this would be a great fabric to use. My regular old Brother sewing machine had no problems sewing this material
