what cutting machine do you think did this?
#1
I'm attaching a picture of a butterfly - and was wondering what machine you think cut this? Is this a specific die that was purchased or is there a place online to get free dies? I want to get one that I can put fusible webbing on fabric and use

It was cut with a Cricut machine. I have the cartridge with that on it.
I've put on here over and over how awesome the Cricut machine is.
ETA:Kris, I just realized that was you posting! I just sent you an message about the Cricut!

If only you didn't have to always use stablizers with it.......

One of the reasons I even bought my Cricut was to be able to cut out any shape I wanted to use for applique in my quilts... although I never really liked applique... LOL
But it is such a fun machine to play with. And since I found Make the Cut, and can truely cut just about any shape I can imagine, I really need to get it out and play with it some more.

Mailmanlady, I use SURE CUTS A LOT instead of Making the Cut. They work about the same, but there's a few things I like better with SCAL.
And it was the ONLY one you could get for a long time, so I kinda stuck with it.
I've been using it since it came out. I make my own SVG files, too. I've tried it without interfacing, and it works ok for simple pieces, but not the intricate ones.
I have taken the interfacing off after cutting, though.
I actually don't have a problem with it using the interfacing. I only use it for applique anyway. But, I was going to try and sell applique shapes, and most people didn't want the interfacing on it.

The Cricut machine can use files with a software program, you plug it into your computer instead of using dies. It can also use "cartridges" and they are a better deal that the machines that uses dies.
You can get them for $20-35 and each one has 100-250 images on it. Way better deal than the die machines.
BUT, most people don't use them at all. With the Cricut and a software program you can cut ANY image you can get on your computer screen FOR FREE.
