Happy Monday everyone!!! Evan needed a Halloween shirt, plain and simple. One of the lace shirts that I made for the girls wasn’t going to cut it, so I decided to break out my Silhouette and make a little ghost applique for him.
Even though I had no idea what I was doing (still don’t), I had fun making my little video on how to cut felt. I decided I’d make another one to show you how to cut regular old cotton fabric. I like to use Wonder Under (Pellon 805) because it’s cheap and readily available at my local fabric store. Watch it if you want to see how awesome this machine is!

Really liked the video. I do have a question. Can you use the regular cutting mats when cutting fabric? If a different mat, do you buy it from the Silhouette website? I also noticed the blade color was different from the one I have do you have to buy a special blade. Thanks for sharing with us.

Yes, you just use your regular cutting mat. Silhouette sells a fabric blade that is blue. It's no different than the black blade, it's just a different color to keep it separate from the blade that you cut paper with. Once you cut paper with a blade, it dulls and makes it harder to cut fabric with.

It's a fusible webbing that you iron onto fabric. It makes it so that the fabric won't fray when cut, and turns it into an iron on shape/applique.

Thank you, Lauren! You are way too nice! Now if I could just figure out how to make a more professional video, we would be good.
