Can they cut multi layers of fabric?

They probably can but I wouldn't choose these scissors for fabric use. They are more of a utility scissor and the blade is scalloped on one side so I don't think you're going to get a good, clean, straight cut.

My wife uses them for utility and craft work (ie. cutting cardboard, paper, etc.) I asked her about fabric, and she said she has never tried. It will cut crafting wire like the description says.

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 use them to open boxes and mail items as they come apart for this. I don't think they would be very good cutting multple layers of fabric. They are more 5 in 1 use than good scissors.

Aloha Retha, Yes, it does cut through 6 layers of cotton fabric or more. But a couple of material will be hanging on so you have to cut along the edges. It beats using a rotary cutter and measuring. Die cuts sure come in handy. I hope this was helful for you to decide on purchasing a Big Shot.

I wouldn't think so, the material is rather thin, wider, larger open fibers. I used this materials as a another option for cutains, and I feel it the material was too thin by itself. Looks great with shears though.

Not easy as paper. You need special bounding material to stick the fabric with cutting mat. Also you need ironing before start cutting.

Yes- it's just styrofoam inside fabric which can be removed & cut to length.

Sorry, I'm not able to help. I use it for mainly fabrics and leather but I would imagine so.It has different usage that I have not explored yet including the part to cut wires.

If you order more than 1 yard of fabric they will usually send it in a continuous piece of fabric. I do believe you can measure and cut your fabric yourself though.

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.

Seems unlikely-- the blades are designed for fabric. If you could replace the blade with something designed for rigid materials, maybe... but I wouldn't advise it.

No it can't be cut because the mesh will unravel, unless you are a good sewer and can sew the edging back on.

Hi, It'd be difficult to cut with reugular scissors. But I'm sure it's not impossible.

Hi, I dont see why not.. as long as the fabric is penetrable which I am sure what you are referring to would be. If they dont tear or rip easily then it should work just fine. One piece goes thru the fabric (sharp pointed piece) and the other piece snaps on and can be a tight or loose fit depending upon what your needs or preference is.

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.

There are some very nice electric scissors on the market made expressly for cutting fabric. This tool is meant for cutting such materials as cardboard and a bit heavy handed for use with fabric.

Yes, look for some you tube videos using this foot to show you the results of two fabrics. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CXCZdyazJU0 I hope this helps

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.

Yes you can cut fabric with the Fiskars for appliques. You can cut multiple layers at the same time. I purchased the Adapter plates so that I can use other dies like, Cuttlebug, Sizzix, Spellbinders and Lifestyle. You might want to see a online video of cutting through fabrics. It is so easy to cut anything with Fiskars but just follow the directions or have fun and experiment. Hope this helps.
