What is the best die cutter for felt clippies? cuttlebug or sizzix? or any other ones? I'm looking for flowers, hearts, etc. to make felt hair clips.

I use a Cuttlebug and I love it. Plus, you can use Sizzix dies in the Cuttlebug machine. If you have trouble with the die going through the felt, add a piece of cardstock or other thick paper on top of it when you use the machine. It REALLY helps!

There's a lot of information in other threads. Click on search and try "felt" or "cuttlebug." That's where I learned a TON about making them.

Sizzix

Quick question - will either of these machines cut regular fabric?

Sorry to highjack your thread!

no probs about hijacking this thread...lol

I checked at Michaels today. The big shot sizzix box says it can cut through fabric for sure. the boxes for the cuttlebug and sizzix original do not indicate that it can cut through fabric.

for cutting felt...does the sizzix sidekick cut through felt well (compared to the big kick)? My Michael's store ran out of the cuttlebug
