Default I'm New :) Cutting detailed felt with the CB

Hi All!! I"m brand new to the forum and to crafting with the Cuttlebug. I really enjoy working with felt, and I'm wondering what is the best way to use felt in the Cuttlebug. Also.. I LOVE the look of small detailed felt projects (like baby felt hair clips) and I'm having trouble finding small die cuts to use with the Cuttlebug. Any advise?? TIA

The dies made by Cuttlebug will cut felt, I've used the Olivia alpha and the flowers dies to cut felt, they worked great! I assume most any thin metal backed die would work the same, ie Quickuts dies, etc.

The only advice I have is to use good quality felt - it cuts so much better! The cheap stuff (like the stuff you can buy at Michael's) frays when trying to extract the shape, whereas the good stuff (MFT, The Cat's Pyjamas and PTI) cuts like butter and comes out of the die with no stray pieces. At least that's been my experience. I also like to give it a return through (so a double pass) through my cuttlebug. HTH!
