I love the look of cutwork but have never tried it. Are there any tutorials for doing it that would be helpful, or any tips that all you special cuties want to share? Thanks ahead of time.

Hello nama2,
here is a link for a Cutwork Tutorial. It includes the design for free (download it on their site) and just follow the step by step instructions. Easy to understand and has good pictures to explain.
Hope this helps.

I have done quite a bit of cutwork and it is my favourite thing. Read instructions carefully. I use very sharp curved sissors and cut very near the first stitching. Good luck, I am sure you will love it.

What if there are no instructions included. I was wondering the same thing as I have never done an applique before and I would like to do the challenge sunflower.

I use very sharp scissor,magnify glass to see better, and I add anti fray after i do the cutting. Always check the anti fray before you use it on your project. I love cutwork!!!!!

What is anti fray?
I use Fray Block - before I cut. It stops the cut from getting bigger or the material from fraying.

As others have said - sharp scissors, fray block, good eyes or a magnifying glass, and patience. Alot of the newer cutwork designs are so much easier than the ones from years ago - you can actually get your cutting done while the design is still in the hoop and not after and you will have a satin stitch that will cover up - where you have cut, too. Have fun.
