Silhouette America sent me three blades before I finally got one that wasnt defective. Now for some reason, the machine is reading that my image is wayyy off the page and is actually cutting the image out of the edges of my mat rather than the paper! Rarely do I come across a blog thats equally educative and engaging, and without a I dont want to wash it between each job?

I watched the machine will it worked and got the feeling that its not butting enough brasher on the plaid and thats why its not cutting threw the paper The first blade never cut well, I had to finish the job with scissors!! I was wiggling on the left roller (I know the right one is not suppose to move) and I think I kind of twist the whole metal rod.
