Will the heated stencil cutter work to create a stencil. If not what thickness will produce a good quality thick stencil for marking on quilts?

Gigi, You can absolutely use the stencil cutting tool to cut the 14 mil material. With the 14 mil material you will need to pass over the material a few times for it to cut completely through. This would be a perfect material for quilting. Our 14 mil material is about double the thickness of X-ray film. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you, The StencilEase Team

I don't believe this or any other embosser like this will work on the thickness of a paper plate. They are made for embossing corporate seals and legal items like on documents on office paper with . You may need to seek out a heavier duty solution for paper plates.

Good Question! Any calligraphic writing tool needs to be able to make both wide and thin lines - usually by rotating the tool in one's fingers as we write. And of course everyone has their favorite shape point. I just measured one of my Sharpies. The shape is a double chisel 1/8" wide. The chisel point length is 3/16" long and tapers down to a thinner edge at the tip which is also 1/8" wide but only .025" thick. It is slightly elastic. So with this sharpie I can make a line 1/8" wide.... and by rotating it in my fingers as I write, the same writing stroke can vary from 1/8" width down to about 20% of that. The Sharpie isn't a professional tool; it's just a basic shape that works well and the price is low. It also has an exceptionally nice ink. rog

Yes, stamping will work. I stenciled it to make wrapping paper, and it came out great!

I think with the right attachment and care this would be great for cutting stencils but it's only a supposition because I haven't used this for cutting, yet. Thanks for the idea though.

It works great for the silhouette for stenciling and other silhouette projects. I prefer it to the rolls (easier to use). You need to adjust the blade/cut settings though to get it to cut clean. You can use the silhouette settings for vinyl but you want to adjust it to cut thicker material than you would with the silhouette rolls or it won't remove properly. Hope this helps!

I have only used the markers on cotton quilting fabric. For that I had great results. I am sorry I could not be of more help. Good luck if you give it a try.

I love my Janome . I mainly use it for quilting, but also do a lot of alterations for friends and family. Working with thick fabric and seams on blue jeans is the worst, but my janome goes over those seams, well, seamlessly! Haha. Seriously, my Janome has an even feed system that works like a charm on thick fabrics. Hope this info helps. CB

Hi Venus, I have cut felt, thin chipboard and of course cardstock. I have embossed all different weights of fabrics, thin cardboard and felt so far. I'm sure it would emboss compressed foam. It is a wonderful embosser and a real workhorse! I would recommend you buy a couple of cutting plates and at least an extra set of the embossing plates. I'm going to try a cut aluminum can. Great idea! I'm that confident about it! I'm all about recycling and creating art! I hope this helps!

I followed the pictures on the box. You'd use the ruler like any other ruler except you run the blade back and forth. I;ve been cutting through four layers easily. The box also contains easy directions for changing blades.I had originally seen the ruler used by Eleanor Burns in a Fons and Porter quilting program last Fall. Go to FonsandProter.com and click on episodes with Eleanor Burns and Mary Fons. You also could go to the Fiskers web site and I.m sure it will have directions.

I covered these blanks with polymer clay which should have added some strength to hold its shape. It did not hold. A thicker blank would most likely be better for your project.

I don't think so, but perhaps. They are not the same type of sheet that stencils are made from.

No it is heavy canvas and would not work in a quilt. I would do a search for printable fabric.

You would use this transfer paper, much like putting carbon paper in a typewriter, to make a copy... or in my case to transfer my drawing on to wood. I'm not really sure how you would go about using a stencil with it. As for finding the stencils, I'd run it through an on line search. Happy trails.

I used it on template stencil for quilting Dritz brand, heavy weight thickness

Thank you for your question. This material is too thick and not flexible for your project. You would be better with 4mil material which is thin and will cut with razor, but you may find since you have curves to cut looking at the gyro cutters they cut much easier than razor and produce cleaner curves. Hope this helps. Stencilease Customer Service.

I have used it in my Sizzix; however, I have to run it through more than once and sometimes I have to use scissors get my image. But I love the thickness, as it's not flimsy.
