I would like to get one so I can make some fabric and felt flowers, not teeny tiny but not huge, either.
I don't have many options locally - just the 1 or 2 Sizzix originals at M's - which would work fine, but I am wondering what else is out there - hoping not to spend 1,000 hours searching online.

I like my cuttlebug flower dies. They work well with felt. They come in a 4 pack. I really want to try the nestie blossom flowers, but I don't have them yet.
For some reason I thought I had read that the thin dies don't work with felt - hmmm, maybe I'll go check those out. That widens my local options.
Thanks!!!

When cutting felt in my cuttlebug I place the die face up, felt and then a layer of scrap cardstock and run it through the machine. The cardstock helps to give it a nice clean cut. I actually got that tip from somewhere on here. It works like a charm! I hope that helps
I cut felt with Nestabilities and the Wizard. I did a girl scout project using the Blossom nestabilities a couple of days ago. The girls made a flower pin for an event they are going to in a few weeks. I just used the felt sheets from wal-mart.
You can definitely use the sizzix dies but you need a piece of scratch paper - die, felt, paper. If you don't use the paper the edges can get a little fuzzy. Doesn't matter if you use the die upright or upside down...as long as the felt is in the middle.
Has anyone used the flower folds die in their Cutttlebug???? I only have that and I want to make some of the adorable flowers for my GD's headbands..... Thanks ~~~~Carol
My Spellbinders dies work very well. I picked up some self-adhesive felt at Wal Mart (regular too but this was way easier ) and Blossom cut great! Scalloped circles works too, if you cut towards the center to make "petals"
HTH!
what's your favorite flower die that cuts felt?
