Would it be possible to use one of the new fancy punches that are currently the vogue for scrapbooking? I have tried a "corrugated press" for paper and have found that if the fabric is crisp enough, it will pattern the fabric.(This is another scrapbook item). I suspect that the foil sequins will be 'buried' in the embroidery enough that the rough edges will not be a problem.
