Ok, so maybe you aren't a quilter and you are wondering why you would want a Slice Fabrique? There are a million reasons why you would want one [and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased] but this machine is amazing and you can create so many cool projects! We have a new design card coming out late Spring called Knick Knack, the design are amazing and look how great this sweater turned out. Do you remember the post on InvisiCut? Well here is another great use for that, cute lace or delicate materials for projects! What do you think?
Cut out your shapes in a cotton fabric and a lace, then add some pearls and you have yourself a goregous DIY project.

3. Pick the size you want to cut, in the booklet that comes with the design card it tells you what the final piece will measure depending on the size you decide to cut. We used the size 5 for our hot pads.
4. Add fusible web to the back of all the fabric you will be cutting.
5. Start by cutting the first shape in the size you have chosen, we are going to use size 5 for all the cuts in our shape.
6. After you have completed your cuts, peel off the backing and place the pieces on your fabric
7. Use an iron to set in place and stitch around the edges to make it permanent

Instructions
Step 1 - spray your mat with Slice Spray Adhesive, lay down fabric, peel off the top of the InvisiCut and lay the sticky side down on the fabric
Step 2 - make the necessary cuts to create the flower [usually 5 cuts]
Step 3 - peel the clear InvisiCut off of the fabric
Step 4 - Fold the flower in half and then in half again
Step 5 - make a couple of stitches through the bottom folded part and sew to a felt base [note all of this can be done with hot glue if you aren't into sewing]
Step 6 - continue steps 3 to 5 with the other 5 flowers you cut
These are so fun to make and really easy! You can customize the flower to look exactly like you want and in the perfect color. There are many uses for these - headbands, necklaces, shirts, decor, etc!

Using the innovative Slice Fabrique digital die-cut machine, fabric crafters and quilters around the world will now be able to cut shapes from fabric for appliqué or other projects WITHOUT FUSIBLE WEB BACKING or a stabilizer. The revolutionary, patent-pending product, InvisiCut™, opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for the world of fabric and crafts.
Since launching the Slice Fabriqué in 2011, consumers have provided rave reviews on the machines custom-formulated Fusible Web that sells exclusively with the Slice Fabrique machine. InvisiCut is a specially engineered adhesive film that is placed on the top surface of the fabric when using the Slice Fabrique. After the design cut is complete, the user simply peels off the film layer which leaves no adhesive residue or stabilizer on the fabric. InvisiCut enables materials such as tulle, silk, cotton, wool, rayon, lace and many other textiles to be cut in the most intricate shapes and sizes with digital precision – all without the use of scissors and templates.
Quilters and crafters have been thrilled with the abilities of Slice Fabriqué and the quality of our Fusible Web Stabilizer. However, scores of users have wished for a way to cut without a stabilizer. Well, we have done it ladies! InvisiCut is finally here and you’re going to love it!

This Halloween, how about sending your kids out trick-or-treating in style? These personalized candy bags are a great alternative to the pillowcases and plastic bags your kids usually use to tote around their treats. This simple project is made even easier when you use the Making Memories’ Slice cordless digital design cutter.
1. Glue a strip of patterned paper to the front of the bag. If you want to get really creative, you can create a fringe from solid cardstock.
2. Using the alphabet on the Spellbound design card for the Slice, cut out your child's name for the front of the bag.
3. Embellish the rest of your bag with embellishment, or use the Slice to cut out some Halloween die-cuts.
The possibilities are endless, so employ your creativity and have fun!
Did you know that your Slice will cut vinyl? Well it can. Now just think of all the fun things that you can create. :)
