I am not fusing but using the die to cut out my freezer paper shapes and glue baste the edges down, t hen hand applique them to the background. Love the die for all the circle sizes. I have a few dies with circles. itty bitty ones. denise

Connie, if you ever get to Omaha, visit Accuquilt. The girls there are terrific. They will take you to their studio and show you how to use the Go or Studio cutters. You will see some beautiful quilts on display and really enjoy your visit. I have been there 3 times and am planning on going again in 2 weeks. I need to pick up a die I ordered on the last visit. Sometimes they have a bin with discounted dies in it for $10. each. There were none on the last visit, but I still got a great discount on the ones I ordered.

Sounds like a great field trip!

Well, Andree, thanks for that tutorial with accuquilt....(comes from trying to skim through the forum in a rapid manner...LOL).

I'm working on a block for a friend's daughter's going-to-college quilt and decided to try Misty Fuse on the back of a fabric before I cut the circles with my Accuquilt.

I used Perfect Sew, a liquid fabric stabilizer, on the background fabric, because it has a heavy embroidery from Urban Threads in the middle (Steampunk Butterfly). I want the stabilizer to wash out completely, and the fabric wash-away stablizers didn't cut the mustard. The combination is working to get great stitching. I have to finish the outline stitching on the appliques so I can wash it out & get feel for the final hand of the fabric.

rosamondac OFFLINE Posts: 37	Love this technique for cutting circles! I need to look at all of my dies to see what size circles I have! Wow, my mind is twirling!!

gynconnie OFFLINE Posts: 730 Thank you received: 27	Andree, what a great technique! Thanks so much for sharing it! I have an Accuquilt GO cutter that I have yet to remove from the box since I brought it home (I'm dangerous when I go to a quilt show without adult supervision!). :shock: Circles really are the most difficult shape to cut smoothly, and you have definitely inspired me to get out my cutter and start playing with it.

Andrée, I'm so glad you are only on month four, it means I have company! Aren't you at the New England Quilt Festival this week?

I think there are many of us in that boat! That quilt is a lot of work, lots of détails... But so much fun and rewarding.

I wish I was at another festival! I'm not on vacation this week...

I was at the Vermont Quilt Festival at the end of June.
