A “Slice” for the Quilting Life

pinkslicestarterset

Coming soon to DCQ: the “Slice” Cordless Digital Design Cutter by Making Memories

One of our favorite “finds” at Spring Market was the “Slice”  digital cutter… this useful gadget opened our eyes to a whole new world of quilting & applique possibilities!

A natural evolution from the Scrapbooking world to the Quilting world… this digital cutter is a wonderful answer for all of the quilters who love the look and creativity of  fusible applique, but aren’t so crazy about the tracing and cutting process.

From garments, to home decor, to memory quilts and more… this handheld digital design cutter can easily cut fabric shapes for fusible applique.

Plus, if you are a scrapbooker, you’ll be able to use the cutter for paper too!

I think it would be great for teachers, or anyone involved in designs for bulletin boards or poster boards.  Click here for project ideas….

Hmmm… looks like the quilting projects haven’t been added yet… but I’m sure those will soon follow… “Slice” was just introduced to the quilting world this past weekend.  We watched a demo and it cut fabric (adhered to fusible web) effortlessly!

In my mind, the “Slice” will be perfect for making letters and floral applique motifs, and I plan to test it on a T-shirt quilt for my nephew’s high school graduation gift.

We’ve ordered our own unit for in-store/at-home use, and my scrapbooking sister-in-laws are itching to get their hands on it.

Here’s a photo album showing assorted design cards:

My favorite features:

  • can be used with fabric adhered to fusible web OR paper
  • a wide variety of motifs are available, with the starter set including two design cards (Basic Elements & Basic Elements Pink), plus many additional design cards currently available, with more to come
  • designs can be adjusted to a variety of sizes, or mirror image, increasing versatility
  • Making Memories will donate a portion of the proceeds from each sale of the Pink SLICE™ to help aid in the fight against breast cancer.

Our distributor is currently showing a delivery date in mid-June, and I’ve added the starter set (shown above), and a number of useful accessories to the website (Click here).
