A bit like using a plastic picnic knife when what you really need is a razor sharp butcher knife to cut through the gristle.

I don't think cookie cutters would be sharp enough or hard enough to cut through fabric.

Do you have a friend who has an AccuQuilt? You could do what I did and purchase the die, then gave it to her as a thank you. I know that if I ever want to make another Dresden plate quilt, she has the die and I won't have to cut the blades by hand.

I traced around one shaped like a doggie bone, but I do not think it would cut into fabric the way you want. You are probably better off cutting around them with sharp scissors.

Check with a LQS, they may be able to help. I know one near me has the Accuquilt and for a charge will cut any fabric for you.

Check eBay. I've seen butterfly fabric cutouts there before.

I had thought of buying a die to give to a friend, but I can't afford $50-$75 for a one time "extra" on a quilt. I must use fabric I have, otherwise I would love to buy some of those precuts from Keepsake Quilting etc. |
