Introducing the NEW Edge 15 inch digital cutter by Artistic Creative products!!!
Cut custom shapes, create one-step applique, add personal
touches to the home… the edge allows for endless possibilities for the sewist
and crafter alike.
Soon, we will follow up with even more detailed information
for you on the uses for and capabilities of the Edge. We will also explore the
variety of accessories offered for the machine that will be available
soon.
Bigger,
Faster, Stronger & More Versatile
The 15 inch Wi-Fi™ enabled Edge offers a larger cutting mat
than the competition and cuts at a super-fast 600mm/second. The Simple
Cut software that is included in the box offers 3500 designs
(compared with 50 to 900 offered by other manufacturers). Both high and low tack
mats are included to work with fabric and paper as well as THREE different
blades for standard, fabric and heavy duty cutting. You will sense the quality
construction of the Artistic Edge digital cutter as soon as you open the box.
Why would a Quilter want a Digital Cutter?Using a digital cutter can make your quilts come alive in ways you’ve only hoped for, and in half
the time you would have thought! Create custom shapes, replicate fabric patterns in appliqué,
or simply cut full sheets of fabric for tiny piecing without having to use a rotary cutter and mat
for hours. Less time cutting out fabric leaves your more
time for quilting!
Can the Edge Help me Take my Quilt
to the Next Level?
Absolutely! With the Artistic Edge, you have the ability to create
appliqué designs with tiny details that you never would have
been able to achieve with a rotary cutter alone. But you can also
experiment with new techniques you wouldn’t have thought you
could customize – like adding heat transfer crystal designs that
perfectly match to your quilt or cutting out a stencil that matches your
quilting motif and painting directly on the fabric.
For a very limited time this unit will be on special for only $599 m.s.r.p. $1099
