So I opened up a brand new Cricut blade and as you can see in the pictures above (photos 2 and 4) it tore the paper and didn't work well. I decide, even though it's new, to try one of those blades I just bought and it cut the design PERFECTLY (photos 1 and 3)! I used the same settings, same paper, same mat and everything. I can't believe the difference. All along I thought these were my mats, but turns out Cricut blades (and mats) stink. Now I will only buy them.
