I want to cut several small pieces into butterfly shapes. I do not have a Go Baby, or Accu Quilt or some such thing.
I know basically these work like a past machine, the cutting dies are hidden in foam until they are rolled through the machine, which presses down the foam, exposing the cutting edges of the die. I wonder, could you use a cookie cutter and a rolling pin for a few shapes? Probably the coookie cutter wouldn't hold up to much pressure, so not a good long term answer. And the rolling pin would need be a sacrificial one as it would get marks you may not want when you are trying to roll pastry. But, for a short term project - would this work? Have you tried it?
