Cutting Machines - which one????
#1
I saw a video showing a Sizzix cutting machine and even though it was cutting fabric, it looks like to me it is made for scrapbooking.
Is there a machine for cutting shapes for applique and strips, etc. that is really good for fabric but doesn't cost too much? (when I say too much, I would like it to be under $65. Thanks. You guys always give such good advice.

I doubt you will find a good fabric die cut machine for that price. I have tried the Sizzix big machine and wasn't impressed. It only cut one layer of fabric and it had to be stabilized. I think it was about $150. I have the Go! and think it's the best value for the money.

Good luck, watch for sales online and in your LQS, Joannes etc. You might even find one on sale on ebay.

Love my accucut studio for cutting appliques.
they are exact perfect rounded edges,
I can't cut a circle even when following a line!!
so curved edges were always a problem
these machines are pricey! but the GO! and studio have no electronic parts so will last for years
and I have cut thousands of shapes with my dies and they all are still working great!

I bought my set from Nancy's Notions. It included the cutter, a bonus set with the tumbler die and the book and a set of dies and mats that came bundled. I added the 3 1/2 "strip cutter and apple core die and the whole set was just over $600. I have 14 dies now. Free shipping too. It was less expensive than buying direct from Accuquilt. Now I have a list of dies that I would like to add on. Guess those could be on my Christmas wish list.
