What could it be?
Whoohoo!! A really special arrival! :-)
Thank you so much for the fabulous giveaway Amanda and Xyron for sponsoring it!! :-) I feel so very lucky!!
Of course, you know I had to play! :-) I put in the fabric adhesive cartridge~ it is acid free and it says it is repositionable. Since I had most of my December banner done, I did the letters with the Creatopia. I cut out the fabric, ran it thru then cut out the letters... next time I will try it the other way, cutting out the letters first. (I love to play!) (I did hint to hubby that I am going to need some alphabet dies~ I don't think he got it though. LOL)
It worked great, the adhesive was quite sticky, but I could reposition the letters until I got them where I wanted. The book also says it won't gum your needles for hand or machine sewing~ so today I am going to sew around them. I'll let you know how it goes. I will say this though~ the adhesive behind the letters is so soft, it is like I didn't use anything to adhere the fabrics together. I like that! :-) I don't like stiff fusible stuff, so this may be my applique dream come true! The booklet also says anyone's dies will work in the Creatopia. I need to get a different cartridge, and then I'll slide some of my older scrapbooking dies thru and see. I know when my DD comes home for break, she is going to love scrapbooking. ;-) I see loads of fun in our future! :-)
I'll be back tomorrow!~ :-)

It is always so much fun to get a big package (and small ones) at the door. I just ordered some things from Hancocks of Paducah last night and will be eagerly waiting for them to arrive.

What fun! I can't wait to see all the great stuff you create with it! :)
Congrats you lucky girl! Can't wait to see all that you do with your new toy! Enjoy and have some fun!
I think hubby heard you but is doing the 'selective' hearing that kids and husband are famous for!!! (not that we don't play that game to once in awhile, but I will never admit it!!!)
That is one fun box you got today!!! I might have to come and check it out one day!! ;-)
Congrats Sandie! Enjoy!

Can't wait to hear more about the cut outs.
It sounds like fun!!!! Enjoy it.
I have never heard of this machine. Can you run fabric through for adhesive backing without using dies?
Wow, Sandie... what a fabulous win! Looks like you're already putting that baby to good use... have FUN!
XOXO,

Congrats on your win there Sandie! Looks like lots of fun to be had with it! 8-)
