Print to Cut

Just got the fab new eclips with the print to cut feature which looks very impressive. I know it is a daft question but what projects is it useful for? You can cut on patterned paper anyway and cut shapes out. Can anyone who has used it give me some idea of their projects so I can get going please.

Thank you Susan, I have had a look at it. Leo is a great teacher. Those seamless patterns are good.

To answer your original question about patterned paper and the like. I think the main reason to P2C is for the designs that you really don't want to paper piece, but want to cut out around it. Like digistamps, or some coloring book pages.

IKC (Laura) has some absolutely gorgeous Owls that are way to cute to pass up and since she did the designs herself it wouldn't ever find the right paper.

Take a look and just drool over how cute they are.
