You can see what I chose.
Step 1: Cut your fabric and interfacing the same size. Make sure it will fit your adhesive mat. It works best on the thicker mat.
(This is the thin mat, I need to purchase a new thick media cutting mat. The green mat is the one you should use.)

Step 2: Iron the fabric to the interfacing and peel away the paper side.

Step 3: Place the fabric right side up on your adhesive mat. You want to use the thickest adhesive mat.

Step 4: Go to your computer, set up your applique design. Click send to Silhouette.

Step 5: Send the cutting job to your Silhouette.
Use the pink cap, set the speed to 3-5 and the cutting thickness to 25-30.
You might want to double cut, depending on the fabric you are using.

Step 6: Peel away the excess and then your applique.

Step 7: Use your beautiful applique!

This is so great! When they came out with the interfacing I figured that meant there were other products already available that would do the same thing I just wasn't sure what it was. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I have been using Heat-N-Bond since before they said the Silhouette could cut fabric! :) I do love my machine though!
So you say to use the ultra hold...I own the heatnbond lite. Have you tried that? Would it work? Thanks so much for sharing!! I have been afraid to use anything but the silhouette brand with my machine.
