Cutting multiple cutouts but some lines don't cut.
Cutting multiple cutouts but some lines don't cut.
I am using SCAL 1 and I am trying to cut out multiple cupcake wrappers on a 12 x 12 mat. For some reason the first cuts correctly and then the second misses some line cuts, the third one cuts correctly and then the 4th one on the sheet does cut completely. Can someone please help me. I shut the programme down powered down my computer and restarted all but this did not help. Windows 7 operating system. My other programmes that I use with my cricut expressions work fine.Thanks

Re: Cutting multiple cutouts but some lines don't cut.
Just shooting in the dark but are the ones cutting correctly on the same side...i.e., the ones on the left cut fine but the ones on the right do not cut completely. If so, one thing I found out using the Gaz is that the blade does not always turn completely out of a sharp corner to cut. For example, I was cutting door hangers and the blade never cut the side once it came out of the circle. Found out that the sharp side of the blade does not always turn and therefore, it was leaving the side uncut. You could see where there was a line where the blade had gone down but was not cut. Fixed that by making the corner rounder so the blade didn't have to turn and since then, I make all my corners rounded if I run into that problem.

Re: Cutting multiple cutouts but some lines don't cut.
Thanks anointed hands no that is not the problem. I am cutting out cupcake wrappers and have 4 on the sheet which I have copied and pasted so they are all the same. The top one cut correctly but the one under that cut the outside edge and a few of the inside lines but missed the words Baby, the third one cut correctly and then the 4th one did the same as the second one. Also does the machine need a rest as this happened after I had used it for a couple of hours. I am using a Cricut Expressions.
