Hi,
We have both cut and engraved fabric on the laser. We have a large number of quilt makers in our area and we lasered their "signature" panels. We are using a 60w laser and like other members have mentioned you must do the tests for each type of fabric.
Good luck.

Hi Glen,
Thanks for your input.
This is for quilters as well so hopefully I can add this to the business as well.
I'll be giving a go tomorrow
Thanks

Yes, make sure you weight it down. I forgot to do that once and my fabric ended up outside. (Boy, was that embarrassing.)
(Edit) But it did clean out the duct work on the blower ;>)

Garry,
If we told you once, we told you a million times! Stop monogramming those thongs on your laser! :O)

I just get these images all of a sudden and then, if the doctors aren't fast enough, I just let 'em out! ;-)
