Review on 🔵 Sizzix Blueberry Standard Cutting Pads 661032 - Enhanced SEO, 1 Pair, One Size by Nicole Mcleod

They are way better than the mint cutting pads I tried before buying the blueberry cutting pads. They "look" the same in structure, but somehow there is a difference when I run them through my Sizzix Big Shot Plus. Eventually, even with 9x14" die inserts, they must be placed on a smooth, hard surface under a stack of heavy books to eliminate the resulting warpage. Warping occurs naturally due to the overall die-cutting system and process. There are two important points : One is the die itself which increases the space it uses between the cutting inserts Second is the top and bottom rollers in the middle of the machine Tips: It is recommended to have several identical pairs of dies so that you can switch between them . Don't get the blues when you start. All of these acrylic cutting inserts are scarred by die-cut edges. That goes without saying too. (I wasn't warned when I started so I was frustrated until I got replies from a bunch of other users who I have been assured that they felt the same way at first, but that's fine.) Don't overload your deposits Experience has shown you should e be at least 1-1/2 inches [on all sides] between small pistils such as leaves or small flowers (less than 2 inches). Be patient and make custom medium (over 2 inches) to large (over 4 inches) stamps. So you can get more out of your pair of cutting inserts. Twist and turn the cutting inserts. Also change the position of the die elsewhere on the cutting insert when preparing to cut a die. If your car won't skip your "sandwich," it's time to change plates. Keep cutting blades clean. DO NOT use sticky objects on it or on the stamps. You will regret it. I hope all of this information was helpful. Enjoy!
