Troubleshooting

Die not cutting through material completely

Ensure you are using the correct sandwich configuration for your machine and material. Try adding an extra shim or cardstock layer to the sandwich. Check if the die is sharp and free from debris.

Material sticking to the die after cutting

Gently use a brush or a die-release tool to carefully separate the cut material from the die. Some materials may benefit from a light dusting of cornstarch or talcum powder before cutting.

Die leaves rough edges on the cut-out

Confirm the die is clean and free of any burrs. Ensure the cutting plate is in good condition. Experiment with different cutting pressures or machine settings if available.
