Fabrique flowers

 
I finally used my Fabrique for something other than cotton!!!!! I can't wait to try some other heavier fabrics. I bought some pressed felt at Jo-Anns, its not the regular fuzzy felt, but still has a similar texture. I cleaned my hands free mat and applied a fresh coat of the spray adhesive, I then put my felt on the mat (no need for fusible web for the felt) and cut some flowers using the Applique Basics design card. Make sure you have a sharp blade to cut the thicker materials. Next I ironed the fusible web to my fabric and cut out the pink layer for the flowers. I ironed the pink fabric onto the black felt. I used my irock from Imaginisce to adhere the silver studs on the flowers. I stitched on buttons for the flower centers and then used my hot glue gun to glue the flowers to a hair clip and pins. I am not sure how the felt would wash so I didn't want to sew the flowers onto the shirt. This way I can also rearrange the flowers or put them on different tops. This was a super easy way to make some fun accessories to my little girl.

I have the 1st Slice, but am thinking of doing the trade in for the Elite. I will be using it for applique...you think it is worth the trouble and the expense for the difference in machines?
Thanks!
