What's the best flock (slightly raised velvet feel) that you guys have used?

At the moment I have only used the flock from MDP but it's really thick and damned hard to cut for intricate designs so I have tried to stay away from it.

I have seen loads of videos on yube-tube with designs with flock in them and it looks a lot easier to cut than the one I use!

Anyone had any flock that's got a good feel but is thin enough to get an accurate cut?

Incidently, I am using a craft robbo to cut it (got a bigger cutter but use the craft robbo for intricate designs).

thats interesting that you use the robo for intricate designs, i use my big cutter for even the most complicated stuff, like celtic knots and tiny intricate designs - i have used target, and magic touch flock, but it wont cope with anything too intricate as you have mentioned due to its thickness, i tend to stay clear, as i always forget to change the blades round from flock to std afterwards

i used loads diferent flock in the past and must say they all pretty much this same. flock is't for fine details. now I got some MDP and it cut well and stick well.

Have you got a different angled blade that you use for flock then Laura?

Are you using your 'import' cutter for the flock Paul?

yes. but i used CR before

On the craft robo there is just the one blade, just different coloured caps. On larger cutters there is a more pronounced blade with much more of a point to it to go through the material for more detailed work. The standard blades though will cut flock as well on the bigger cutters.

I use my 45-degree angle for flock and flex but some people ide 65 degree for fine details.
