I too thought they were for scrapbooking. Don't they cost about the same as the Baby Go that was designed for fabric???

maybe the patterns I was trying were too intricate? I had it on the slow speed, it kept peeling the paper up and it would get all knotted. I am using a new blade - I just bought the machine :( I'm using the expression.

You can use either the Lite or Ultra Heat-n-bond... it does not work well at all when you use Wonder Under (I've tried them all). The lite spray starch on top of it all helps, too. Slow down the speed to the slowest setting, make sure you have a sharp blade, and that your blade depth is on at least 3-4 (5) for heavier fabrics) but quilting cottons I use 4 for my pressure. I use it all the time, but it does dull the blades (I think its the glue that dulls it)

yes, they are designed for scrapbooking but I watched on youtube that they could be used with fabric - and are perfect for fusible appliques.
