A question about my cricut scrapbooking machine?
I’m kind of new at this as I just got my Cricut Expression for Christmas. What I’m wondering is this:
I’m trying to cut small letters (using Calligraphy cartridge at about 1/2 inch.) and the paper keeps ripping. What is the best way to set the dials to prevent this? (The paper I’m using is just test paper.. the plain paper that comes in a scrapbook, so I don’t waste good paper)
Anyways, what are the best settings when cutting smaller shapes & letters on a normal sheet of paper — not too thick, not too thin??
Please include the actual blade setting, speed, and pressure settings & lots of details and tips if you have them. =)
Thank you so much!
try this
slow speed
pressure medium
blade 2
I have found the speed is important when I am cutting tiny letters and shapes. More so than any of the other settings.
Hope this helps you. Oh increase the blade depth if you use a thicker paper.
GOOD LUCK!
