rtfulk 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Hello, I haven't purchased a cutter yet, but plan on doing so in the very near future. I primarily want to use it to cut fabric and some vinyl. I am also a Mac user I see US Cutter offers 2 versions of software. Any Mac users have a favorite or opinion on which one to use. Thanks, Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted December 27, 2007 Welcome, I never heard of cutting fabric. How does that work? do you use it to plot a pattern stencil then cut by hand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtfulk 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks Terry. I want to use it to cut appliques for embroidery work. It should be just like cutting a design in vinyl.... squares, circles many different shapes. Also does anyone have suggestions on what to use for a backing to run it through a cutter? Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted December 27, 2007 I've heard people suggest application tape. But I haven't tried it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rtfulk 0 Posted December 27, 2007 I would like to use Mac software, but I do have parallels installed with XP Pro on my Macs. My embroidery software and engraving software runs only on windows so basically I can run either one. I also transferred CorelDraw X3 to one of my Macs to use on XP Pro in parallels. If I decided to go with a windows version which one would work the best with CorelDraw X3? . Also on the fabric cutting I am looking at using this: http://www.twillusa.com/product_info.php?products_id=86 I hope it is ok to post links here. I am also wanting to do Monogrammed initals on vinyl has anyone done that and will the PCUT 24" or the MH721 do this and the twill cutting? and If you had a choice which cutter would you choose the PCUT 24" or the MH721. Thanks for any answers you can give, Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
