using a cricut to cut out shapes for quilts
 

I just bought a cricut and the lady said that you could cut out shapes if you iron a stabilizer to the fabric before cutting out the fabric. Has anyone tried that and did it work? what stabilizer did you use by chance?

Which Cricut did you get? Which model? I think some of the newer models you can do that. I have the original baby bug. I have never used it for fabric but I have cut out shapes with card stock and traced them onto my fabric.

That's why I bought a Cricut!
Use Heat n Bond Ultra. Iron to 100% cotton fabric, about 3-4 seconds for each press of the iron (no steam). Peel off the paper. Place the fabric side up on the sticky mat. Use a brayer or roller to press firmly onto the mat.
Set the machine to low speed, max pressure, and the blade at 4. For thicker fabrics, multiple pass option may be necessary.
Works great! My first attempt was making the cutest snowflakes using the Winter Lace cartridge and white fusions fabric. I was hooked!

I have a GO fabric cutter.......more than one layer per cut..less fussing per cut....but to each his own. What is cost of this cutter, dies?

Time to dust off the cricut!

I also use the go cutter love it

It works okay if you want one shape at a time. I prefer the Go die cut machine for fabric.

This is so helpful! thank you so much everyone for responding!
