I want to make shoes for 18" dolls. Bought a craft hot knife, which cuts thro the foam used for the sole very nicely, but leaves a beveled edge and I want a smooth, curved edge. After practising a bit, I found that holding the knife very straight up and down, and drawing it steadily toward me works better, but still not perfect. Anyone have any suggestions as to the proper technique?
Have any of you made shoes?
