Another Skull

After using my digitizing software to create a skull design for my embroidery machine,  I decided I wanted a way to cut the fabric for the applique rather than cutting it by hand.  There are die cutting machines, like the Accuquilt Go - but you have to buy the dies for cutting and it is very expensive to get them to make a custom die.   I thought "If a Cricut can cut vinyl, why can't it cut fabric?"  So I  went looking for answers.   Supposedly it can.  My experience is that it doesn't do it well. 

I borrowed a Cricut from my Public Library. What?  Yes, they have a Library of Things that you can borrow and one of them is a Cricut.  I had ordered a fabric cutting blade for it.  After several attempts that failed I got one good cut.  So I will be returning the Cricut to the library knowing that I don't want or need to buy one. 

However,  the one good cut resulted in this fun piece. 

I do like the results although it isn't any better than my hand cut one. (and it was more work, not less!) 

Since a skull is  a form of a face,    I am linking up with DVArtist/Nicole for the Friday Face Off. 

Until Next Time,
