Howdy all!
In the five days that my husband and I have had our laser we have been able to answer a lot of question that we had before it arrived. During that time we have experiemented with several different material while avoiding PCV and vinyl.
We are currently trying things on felt that was purchased at a local store. The felt is a very stiff sheet (almost like it contains starch) that comes in several different colors. I have pretty much given up on any rastering with it but was wondering if anyone has had any problems with cutting? I also have some regular soft felt that I am going to experiement with next. In doing some research on the web and in forums I haven't been able to find much information about using felt and had the following questions:
Is there a type that should be avoided?
Should I be using something like the Multimat before cutting out small pieces?
Any other tips or hints when working with felt?
Hoping be able to contribute to the forum in the future (after I feel like I can answer more question than I ask that is :o )
