And if I do this hubby would be thrilled if I used his moms jeans.. he loves the jean quilts and if it was out of his moms jean it would be a double bonus.. I guess Im afraid to screw it up...
I would try just ONE layer with the Accuquilt Go die. I made a rag quilt using 2 layers of flannel and one layer of cotton and cut all three layers at once and it was difficult to turn the crank and I had issues with the fabric being stuck down in the areas that cuts the "rag" part. I don't know that you would be able to cut more than one denim block at a time. Just a thought!!!
