Fiskars Fabric Circle Cutter, Units

Product Information

Now, if you want a machine for fabric cutting, I recommend the original Cricut Maker or the new Cricut Maker 3, as fabric does not need to be prepared before cutting. The big difference between the two is the Maker 3 cuts faster than the original Maker and can use Cricut Smart Materials; thus, the Maker 3 is technically the best Cricut for fabric cutting. Use fabric scissors to carefully cut around the circle, making sure to leave the marked seam allowance intact.

Use a ruler and fabric marker to measure and mark the desired seam allowance around the circumference of your circle.Manual die-cutting machines for fabricrequire no more than cranking a handwheel to perfectly cut fabric pieces. To press your circle, simply lay it flat on your ironing board and gently run the iron over the surface, taking care not to stretch or distort the fabric. If there are particularly stubborn wrinkles, you can use a bit of steam to help smooth them out. Once you’ve gathered all the necessary tools, you can start cutting your circle. Place the round object on the fabric and trace around it with the fabric marker. Make sure the object is centered on the fabric and that the circle is the size you want it to be. You can use a ruler to measure the diameter of the circle if you want it to be precise.

Electric, electronic, or digital fabric cutting machines, in contrast, have no requirement for strength but are more expensive than manual cutters. To neaten up the edges of your circle, simply trim them with a pair of sharp fabric scissors. Make sure to cut slowly and carefully, following the curve of the circle to ensure a smooth, even edge. AccuQuilt cuts all shapes I have dies for. (My go-to because of speed, ease of use, and convenience.)Once you have marked out the circumference of your circle, you can connect the marks to create a smooth curve. One way to do this is by using a French curve ruler, which has a variety of curved edges that can be used to create different shapes. Alternatively, you can use a piece of string or ribbon to connect the marks, pulling it taut to create a straight line between each point. With these methods, you can easily and accurately cut a circle in your fabric for your next sewing project. Pros
