The cricut machines are great for cutting fabric for applique, paper piecing and such or creating your own stencils by using the marker to trace/create the stencil and than hit repeat last to cut it.

You do have to put a stablizer such as freezer paper, heat n bond, or similar for your fabric to be used in applicate.

You can trace your design on fabric but make sure to put the freezer paper/heat n bond, what ever behind it and than cut it.

You also can use the Cricut Imagine which is both a printer and die-cutter this way you don't have to use a rotary cutter or scissors such as is used in Inklingo which uses an ink jet printer and than a rotary cutter or scissors.
