Will it cut through 7 or 8 layers of cotton fabric?

I have not tried this but I would say no. The die is thin and is not deep enough to cut through so many pieces of fabric.

My experience is no, this will not work on thicker fabric. Tried it multiple times on 3 layers of thin cotton fabric. The snaps did not hold. This first time the snaps were used in each case, they failed to work.

it might if you push a little at a, (kind of pump it)or cut in smaller pieces. if you try to do it all in one sweep it probably won't.

I believe it will. I have used it to cut numerous pieces of paper at one time, without any issues.

This is designed for cutting vinyl sheets. Are you referring to cutting a pattern to put on fabric to cut with scissors? If so I would say yes, but note the size limitation with this cutter.

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;

It may cut it but the blade won't last long doing a bunch of cuts. We have to watch how hot we get the blades when we cut 5/8 half round.

Yes, it will cut the paper if entered in "landscape" direction as you call it. About 4 sheets at a time.

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.

No, it only slices two different thicknesses or shreds two different sizes.

My guess would be no, it's fabric, not plastic, so you would be cutting through seams. Why would one want to cut it?

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.

I work at a clothing manufacturers and we use this everyday for straight cuts through 5-10 layers of fabric. So, it's actually not heavy handed for fabric cutting and other versions intended specifically for that purpose run about twice as much.

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. On the felt that I used yes!

I have not gotten a chance to use it yet so I cannot answer your question adequately. From my point of view, it seems to be a cutter for paper related items and probably not for fabric.

8" blade should get you darn close, just be sure to do it in small increments.
