Want to die cut felt letters

Topic Closed

May '07 Janquilts

I have seen some great layouts with felt letters as titles. Does anyone have any experience with using die cuts for these?
I have some QuicKutz , but I don't think they cut felt. Which die cuts and/or machine would do this?
Thanks,

I actually buy my felt letters already cut, but I'm sure someone here as experience cutting them with a die-cut machine.

I would assume that the original Sizzix dies would cut felt. They can cut chipboard so felt would be a breeze!

my friend the baptist minister's wife uses the church's sizzix machine to do all the felt/fabric die cutting for the alter decorations/banners.

The original sizzix dies will cut through it, but not the sizzlits. The originals cut through so many things.....experiment and have fun!!

Both the QuicKutz and Cuttlebug dies should cut through felt. I have seen it on the revolution.

I have cut felt with QuicKutz and sometimes you need to remove the ejection foam I am told that it won't ruin the die to do that because the foam is "ejection" foam. It is just there to help eject the paper that we cut.

hmm, maybe I'm doing it wrong but I could never get the dies to cut felt. Maybe they larger ones like the christmas tree, but letters never worked....then again it could be me, lol!
