Rec your die-cut machine please...

Hi there,

I'm a new crafter and love making fabric flowers for my little girl's hair. I'm looking for a simple inexpensive die-Cut machine. I'm thinking under $60?  My hands ache from cutting circles by hand!  Lol!

 

TIA!

Re: Rec your die-cut machine please...

  • If you are just cutting circles, maybe get a punch instead of a machine? 

    I have the Silhouette machine, but it is about $200.  

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • A punch for fabric?  Would be great, but I've never come across one.

     

    Thanks!

  • The Fiskars punches will cut through a couple layers of thin (cotton quilting weight) layers at a time.  They're in the scrapbooking section.

    IMO what may be best for you is the Sizzix Big Shot- the machine is $60ish and the dies are $15-20, so it'll be $80 for an initial expenditure but you can probably get a bunch of cirles on one die and when you want to move to other shapes, it is easy to get new dies.  Check Amazon and Overstock, they're cheaper than buying in store.

  • I have the Accuquilt Go! Baby. It's designed for quilting, but I mostly use it for cutting shapes out of felt for hair clips, etc. The dies are about $20-30 apiece. I have ones that cut circles, flowers, stars, etc.

  • Check out the FAQ link at the top of the board.  Lots of advice and resources there.

  • Thanks everyone!  I purchased the marga Stewart big circle cutter for $15 and jose fully this works.  If not then the go baby! And big shot sound perfect!

     Thanks again!
