Can I cut fabric for quilt appliques with this machine?

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.

You can only use the Fabric that comes with the machine & refills available. The fabric is a thick felt type fabric. I haven't tried finding it in a fabric store yet, but I believe those stores may carry it.

Yes. Just use a ruler for straight line cut and you can cut any shape even a design if you are creative.

I just recently ventured into this feature myself....(there's so much to do with this machine....I LOVE IT!!!!).....I've only cut common cotton and cotton-blended fabric so far....but I can tell you that it cut those perfectly for me. I used a tip I found online that suggested you iron it to something like freezer paper or "Heat N Bond lite" which is what I use. Place it onto the mat with the paper facing up....the fabric will be directly on the sticky mat......KEEP IN MIND to FLIP YOUR IMAGE BEFORE CUTTING....OR IT WILL come out BACKWARDS. Make sure to do this with letters. I wish I had some to try so I could tell you but I can tell you this....I LOVE this machine!!!!.....there's so much you can do with it and I am so happy I bought one.

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

No. & No, This is not for machine Quilting, It is for top stitching. It can be used for top stitching close to the edge or over lapping of Fabric.

One, the fabric must be attached to the cutting board. I guess you could glue pieces together and cut but I doubt that is what you want.

I love my Janome magnolia sewing machine, but I don't think that I would try making denim clothes on it, unless I would perhaps serge first and then press to one side and top-stitch the fabric. I would certainly proceed with caution with any machine though and be sure to use the appropriate needle. Hope this helps.

I highly doubt it will trim fabric. I have trouble getting it to cut some of the paper I need to cut! Unless it's fairly stiff paper, I'm better off with an X-Acto knife and ruler.

I don't know much about machine quilting as I use a 1950's Singer featherweight machine for piecing and then do all quilting by hand. I suppose if you can use a hoop type frame that this would be similar. I use this frame for quilting and other hand needlework.

This machine does not have quilting templates. It does off different stitches that are indicated on the front of the machine. My main focus for using this machine is for the embroidery portion.

You can cut this with regular scissors. Also with an exacto knife, paper cutter--I don't know what a silhouette machine is. You would need a good pair of scissors, like you would use for sewing.

Yes you can. I made a slipcover for my sofa & used a regular sewing machine for the whole thing. Hope this helps ... good luck!!

Absolutely, you can easily use either. I think they only have 2 machines. I believe the cutting area is just smaller on the one.

Never try it on fabrics, imagine using hot burnt metal to cut fabrics. However, i guess it can do the trick, try it and let me know.

It will emboss/etch paper. If you have cutting plates it should cut too. I have not tried it on fabric so I would not be able to answer that one.

I am just starting to make quilts, I know this is a quilting stitch. I am not sure if the machine will have the capability. I think it will on small projects with a special foot.
