I am fascinated by commercial die-cutting machines and embossing devices! These versatile and accurate devices allow them to carve complicated motifs effortlessly. Some cutters use digital files to accurately cut and emboss your patterns on vellum, paper, vinyl, fabric, foils, and other materials.
Crafters can use metal dies and embossing folders on some equipment. Printmakers have discovered that hand-crank machines function well as small printing presses, exerting equal pressure on linoleum and woodblocks to produce intimate relief prints.
