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.
