Maybe if it's glued to a piece of wood. I think it would just tear the cloth up.

I cut a layer of about 30 pieces of cloth a couple of times for a church projects.  I clamped it between two pieces of 1/4 inch plywood that had the pattern on the top pieces.  I clamped them together as tight as I could then tapped it tighter.  Didn't come out to bad, but the time it took it would have been just as easy to cut the normal way.
