Done in flannel.Used a Bigz Scallop square on my cuttlebug tho its a Big shot by Sizzix die cut, and Accuquilt cutting Hearts cutting dies also for the Accuquilt. Sewed 2 hearts on sewing

Another thing I learned on internet was some add extra fabric to edges because only 2 layers less fringe but I prefer to add a border. but this is just a small doll blanket so left it along.

There is a youtube video in which a quilter used this scallop die to make a rag purse and it looked lovely. They said you can cut either closer or by the scallops I like the lacey scallop look for the dolls.

Oh and a brief gentle handwash setting inside a pillowcase. Then excess fibers picked up with a lint roller.

Well, I have the electric cricut expression which is my favorite so naturally I got the cuttlebug for embossing but I would like to get the Sissix Westminster Pro or Accuquilt Studio for large quilting dies.

By rigging my matts on the cuttlebug I can use Sizzix BigZ dies and a lot of accuquilt dies for quilting- I love the ease and perfect cuts. Hope this answers.
Oh cricut will cut fabric but needs iron-on stabilizer and for raggy we want it to
fray.

What do you do with freezer paper? Iron on to fabric and cut? Thats a great idea.
I didn't upgrade to Imagine because I liked the freedom of using any svg file and cricut studio etc.

One more thing I forgot. If you do get interested in accuquilt cutting dies. Amazing designs has a coordinating CD set of 30 designs for the heart dies for quilting and applique with fancy fills etc. if you dont want to rag quilt or used
as standalone with our usual ME applique.

Thanks for all the info. It sounds as though you've had lots of practise and have got lots of equpiment and dies. I would like one machine that cuts felt really well. Jan

I would use this technique as decorative on low washing to very little and gentle
to preserve the scallops. Like the rag quilt on utube or a doll quilt.
