You can use freezer paper. I had great success using this method. I also just had the thought that you could fuse the fabric between 2 layers of freezer paper and use multi-cut and slow cutting. YES!

It works best for cutting fabric with the Cricut. Makes it really stiff. The starch trick works too but I like Wunder Under the best. Lightweight cotton cuts the best. Some of the sturdier fabrics cut nicely. You can't use nappy fabrics because the lint gets caught up in your Cricut housing. I love the Cuttlebug Color Duct tape idea. You have my mind churning out ideas again for art cards. :) I love my Cuttlebug & all the different things it will cut out. I use my Big Kick because it has more pounds of pressure to use for different materials. Did you try Wunder Under. It works best for cutting fabric with the Cricut. Makes it really stiff.

But --- can't you iron your fabric to the shiney side of freezer paper, thus creating your own paper-fabric??? And did you know you can fuse a single layer of a printed napkin to cardboard using plastic wrap and your iron? Oh the wonders of the internet!
