Cutting Fabric With The Silhouette Machine

There has been a lot of talk about cutting fabric with the Silhouette machine in the Silhouette users Yahoo group these last couple of weeks. Silhouette just came out with a brand new product called Silhouette Interfacing which is a backing sheet that you apply to the wrong side of the fabric to make it stiff so it can lay flat and stick to the cutting mat. But someone in the group discovered the product Stiffen Stuff which she applied on the fabric and cut a flower design. Look how clean the cut is! She dried the fabric saturated with Stiffen Stuff in the microwave for about 30 seconds and it practically turned into a paper material when it dried. I also read that you can use the  blow dryer to dry the fabric but it takes much longer. The photo below was taken and posted by Jane.on the Silhouette Users Yahoo Group.
