What different types of fabric does it cut?

It will cut cotton. I have also been successful cutting acrylic felt but forget about wool felt or other types of fabric. Also be aware that to cut any fabric you have to back it with fairly heavy iron on adhesive. This isn't always ideal for things like appliqu since it will create a very stiff quilt.

yes. it's just like a self adhesive fabric, that can be cut with scissors. but in my experience it was a waste of money.it did not work.

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.

Yes. It takes a good tool or large scissors but then it cuts much like any heavy fabric.

There are a bunch of different sizes! This works great for cutting my boyfriends hair in home!

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 �

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.

Only if you are cutting fabric. You can use the same blade over and over, the only thing you change is the thickness of the cut for different materials. If you cut fabric and paper you need a different blade for each.

One difference is the other model is for light to medium fabrics, but this one handles heavy ones as well, so it depends what you plan on sewing. For me it's worth the money to be able to sew pretty much anything.

Yes, its perfect for both fabric and paper. You might need to get a smaller ruler if youll be cutting very small pieces.

We didn't cut it and used it full length as to make a nice cut, the home-use scissors or cutter may not do the best job. If you don't bother with the finishing of the cut, both scissors and cutter should work.

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.

Yes you use it to transfer multi piece cutouts to clothing ( vinyls, iron one etc) to maintain the pattern. Unless you are using an extremely delicate fabric, you shouldn't have a problem using it with fabric.

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

I just tried it with both felt and cotton fabrics. A single layer punches ok, but fabric and felt were both 'pulled' into hole and punched hole had to be finished with scissors.. Double layers of both cut fine and were stiff enough to cut hole all the way through without having to trim with scissors. Triple layer of cotton punched fine; but felt was too thick.

I believe it will only cut one layer. I purchased the Silhoutte for quilting and appliqu, have not been happy. You can find something better for quilting, the costumer service and policies are not consumer friendly. Works OK for paper. Wish I had saved my money for a better product.

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.
