How do you attach your layers? If I do more than three on mine it becomes impossible to fold.
what kind of adhesive you use? if you use flexible adhesive it'll be more easier to fold...i've found that heat and bond becomes difficult to fold when you add on many layers.

Your bow is beautiful for your first one! I appreciate the crisp clean cuts on the tails and the fabric design - large scales on one loop and small on the other looks good. Just like a pro! On a side note - I recently made my daughter a bikini out of this fabric in green with the black background. Keep up the great work!
 
Looks really good to me! I'm in love with the pattern you used!
thanks!!
you cheer for ICE? what team are you on?
I'm on FW's Black Ice, but not really cheering right now bc of injury

That's one of the machines that has been having the most mixed reviews. Some people say it works great as long as you put interfacing on before and some people say they don't like it and thinks the quality is terrible.

The other 2 I'm looking at is the Sizzle brands and then also the slice machines.

I have a Sizzix machine and the thicker dies (not the sizzlets) cut all kinds of fabric that I work with for bows - spandex, sequin dot, grosgrain ribbon, other stretch materials. I havent tried the thinner dies yet, but they might work.

The problem with most electronic cutters is that they dont cut stretch material very well. They work best on cotton/nonstretch materials that are adhered to the fusible paper. These machines give you a lot more options though, and are great for cutting vinyl heat transfers that can be bought in holographic and other sparkly colors.

I've had my eye on the silhouette machine because it can cut rhinestone templates - a definate perk over the cricut although I bet you can figure out a way to do it on the cricut.
