Using Sizzix eClips on Heat ‘N Bond
I am currently working on a bunch of teddy overalls with teddy appliques and thought it would save some time by using my cutting machine, the
Sizzix eClips 2, to cut out the
Heat ‘N Bond. I asked around and searched google, and nobody had ever tried it, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was very happy to find out that it really does work.
Some things to remember:
1. Make sure you use a new or sharp blade so that it doesn’t tear.
2. Use spray adhesive like
505 Adhesive Spray if your mat loses its stickiness.
3. Place the Heat ‘N Bond with the iron-on side up, and the paper side down.
4. Make sure your paper is cut a little bigger than the area being cut. I like to make it at least 1/4” bigger at the top and bottom.
5. I set my speed to 5, and my blade and pressure at 3. Play around with it on plain paper to find what works best for you.

Or you can download the one I made here: pdf ms works Then cut out the magic erasers to fit the compartments. I didn't need them for each compartment since some of my feet are pretty large. Then print out 3 sheets. You will cut one, and use the other two for the lid of your organizer. Place the cut labels inside the ...
We bought our home 11 years ago, with the idea of adding on and remodeling it. It was exactly what we were looking for (big yard, just outside city limits and within our price range). Although it was really small, it had a lot of potential.
42 Presser Feet Guide What is included and what do they do ? Most presser feet cost $5 and up. There’s a couple big kits with loads of presser feet on the market that are a lot more affordable. There are many different variations of the kits , as well as different sizes. I purchased the 42-piece kit . The box reminds me of a box of chocolates. Of course I had to make my own custom organizer: I searched on other websites for a complete list for what was what and their uses. I couldn’t find any. So…. I went through piece-by-piece and compiled a convienent list with photos, uses, and videos (also available on PDF ). They are in order from top let to bottom right of the box.
