Hi,
I'm looking at buying a rose leaf veiner because I need some leaves larger than the 1.25" cutter I have (Wilton).
Do you have to use a cutter when you use the 2-piece veiner? Can you just edge around the veiner when you have it closed to make the leaf?
Please help if you can! I've got 2 weeks to make some leaves.
Thanks!
I'm just learning, but I'll tell you my experience and give you a bump 
. I really prefer to use a cutter first - I feel like the edges are cleaner. I have cut around the edges of a veiner to make an anthurium, which is a thicker leaf with a smooth edge. I ran my fingers around the edges of the veiner while the paste was in the veiner to make a distinct outline of the shape, removed the textured paste from the veiner and then cut out the shape. We actually did this technique in a class with Nicholas Lodge, and it worked. But, it is much more time consuming and much less accurate than using a cutter. If you have lots to make, I would order a cutter today!
