The stationary punches don't work real well with metal. What works to a degree are leather punches, dies and stamps. Smoothing the edge is recommended as the edge cut and will cut fabric, embroidery floss and your fingers. And it not cut snag you fabric and embroidery, as well as prick your finger(s). Emery board, metal file or dremil tool works. You don't have to do the whole thing, just where it is sharp.
-----Original Message----- 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.
