does it cut well with single layer fragile fabrics like knits, voile, etc ?

Cuts Extremely well... I purchased this to cut 14oz velour as well as banjo cloth and it cut it perfectly. I would highly recommend it for large projects, commercial use, or if you just hate sissors.

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

I've never tried fabric, but it does cut thick card stock and thinner cardboard.

I've only used it for quilting and it will cut through several thicknesses of cotton fabric. I just tried it on naugahyde ....not exactly heavy duty leather, but it cut right through it.

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!

Yes. I have used it for cotton. But I cut 4 to 6 deep per cut. And I think it comes with an extra blade. I really like it.

Yes this does also cut thin slices. I do recommend purchasing some protective gloves as well because it is very sharp too!

Any heavier fabric would be fine. I wouldn't use it on knits or silks that could snag or run. The bristles are really very soft.

Based on my experience, I would say no. It struggled being able to cut properly through a piece of paper about double the thickness of typical computer paper. I doubt it can handle even the thinnest of fabrics.

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.

Depends on the type of material. It may, for example, cut 1" thick aluminum but definitely not 1" thick steel (mild or hard).

Yes I've cut felt, fleece, flannel, minky and a ton of regular cotton. Love this cutter!

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

No. I found it very easy to cut with a sharp knife or one edge razor blade. A sharp utility knife should work well.

Yes, it would be good for that. As you learn to use it, you'll find that regardless of the setting you choose, the thickness of the cut can vary as your pressure varies. Uniformity comes with practice. This is not a precision device.

yes! Its very thin and light. I cut mine but its not heavy duty enough to stay put now.

Yes, just make sure it lays flat on is own so you get a good straight cut. Utility knife is all you need.
