Troubleshooting
Die not cutting completely through material.
Ensure you are using the correct cutting pads and that your material is properly aligned within the die. Try running the sandwich through the machine a second time or consider using a shim (a thin piece of cardstock) to increase pressure.
Small pieces of paper stuck in the die.
Gently use a soft brush, a craft pick, or tweezers to remove trapped paper scraps. Avoid using sharp metal tools that could scratch the die.
Die cuts are jagged or uneven.
Check that the die is clean and free of debris. Ensure the die is placed correctly with the cutting edge facing up. Verify that the die-cutting machine is properly calibrated and that the cutting pads are in good condition.
