Fabulous Friday with Fabrique …

FF_Master

This week we're doing something a little different. Since we are giving away a sewing related prize on Wednesday Wisdom, our friends at Making Memories were nice enough to give us a Fabrique to give away for Fabulous Friday! I personally have used this little machine and I love it! As a matter of fact, the quilt I made for them for Fall Quilt Market is sitting right under the mat in this picture :

I also created a few pillows, a fabric banner and some canvas wall hangings. I even added some Fabrique flowers when I made one of Anj's owls! If you sew or do any kind of decorating with fabric you MUST have this machine!

So … What IS the Fabrique?

The Slice Fabrique is the first fabric-cutting tool of its kind, making appliqué quilting easier. Not only is it the perfect tool for creating quilts, but it can also be used to customize clothing, home décor, and more.

How does it work?


To use the Slice Fabrique, first, apply a repositionable adhesive to a special tempered glass mat and iron on the Slice Fusible Web to the fabric of your choice. Next, follow the simple three-step Select It, Size It, Slice process. Select the shape you wish to cut, Size the die-cut shape, and finally press the "Start" button to Slice it. The Slice Fabrique works with design cards that are created specifically for fabric use allowing you to cut numbers, flowers, icons, and basic shapes, just to name a few.

 Each design card includes popular appliqué design options along with intricate options to provide inspiration for every type of project imaginable. The possibilities are endless with over 850 design shapes to choose from. Some of the design cards also have a layering feature, which allows you to piece die-cuts together for larger projects. Making Memories is also teaming up with some amazing fabric designers such as Joanna Figueroa, Sandi Henderson, Barry J. Ackerman, and more to create special design cards that complement their fabric designs. You no longer have to spend all of your time cutting intricate shapes with scissors and if you've ever done that, you¹ll understand exactly how time consuming that can be. Instead, let the Slice Fabrique do all the work for you.
