Cutting Table

The 4' x 8' cutting table is perfect for laying out and cutting your textile projects. The Textiles space also comes equipped with a variety of cutting tools, which have a few firm rules of their own:

• Fabric scissors are for cutting fabric ONLY.
• No using paint, markers, glue, or any other adhesives on the cutting mat. These things should be done on the work tables in the adjacent room.
• Use only the force needed to get through your material. Do not gouge the cutting mat.
• Never iron material on the cutting mat. The heat from the iron will destroy the self-healing properties of the mat and cause significant warping.

Vinyl Cutters

The Cameo Pro (large format) and Cameo 3 (small format) vinyl cutters can be used to create single-color decals or full-color stickers of your own design to apply to your water bottle, car, laptop, etc. They can also cut intricate shapes out of similar thin material, like paper and cardstock.

Epson Color Printer

The Epson ET-8550 Ink Tank Printer allows for full-bleed color printing for any makerspace-related activities! You can use the color printer to produce beautiful full color prints of your own artwork and then use the vinyl cutters to turn them into stickers!

Note: The color printer in the Moody Makerspace may NOT be used to print out documents for class or for any other purpose not explicitly related to makerspace activities. Please use the Baylor PawPrints printers for those needs.

Heat Press

The Heat Press offers a large heated flat area for pressing Heat Transfer Vinyl designs onto fabric in a single press. Use the Cameo vinyl cutters to cut out your design, transfer them to your material, and then lay them in the Heat Press to affix them permanently!

You can also use the Epson printer with some printable heat transfer paper to create full color designs!

Note: We do not stock heat transfer paper, but you can buy it online!

Button Press

One of the most demanded items in the Makerspace is a set of robust button presses. Get creative with ink, paint, rubber stamps, or existing print materials and then use these to press your own custom buttons with your art. We currently have die molds for pressing round buttons in 2 sizes: 1 inch and 2.25 inches.

Bonus: Did you know you can use the laser to make custom rubber stamps like the Sailor Bear and BU stamps shown in the photo? Ask us how!

Paper, Scissors, and Glue

Feeling crafty? We have a variety of decorative (and plain) craft paper to get you started and a broad selection of tapes and glues to help you finish the job.

And what scrapbook is complete without a decorative edge or two cut into fancy paper or photographs? Dress up your handmade cards and gift tags by giving them a scalloped edge.

Painting Supplies

You're always welcome to bring your own supplies, but with our stock of pastel, metallic, and primary color acrylic paints (for mixing your own colors), you shouldn't have need of anything else!
