Laser-Cutting Fabric Applique (ASIHTB Twitch stream 2/16/21) 

(Apologies for the audio issues at the beginning; they get fixed about 9 minutes in!)
This is an archived recording of a demo I showed on my livestream. When using a laser cutter to cut synthetic fabric, the edges are sealed so applique doesn't need to be satin stitched. The entire process is shown here, from setup and adhesive application to attaching the applique.
The laser cutter I'm using is a Glowforge Pro.
