Help Cricut starting to tear cardstock.

May 14, 2008 3 Replies

I am making invitations for my nieces BD party and I am only half way through and I noticed that the paper cut is getting kind of rough in one area. I only have one 12 x 12 mat and the design to too large to cut on my baby bug. Also I can't move the design because it is a cut file I downloaded from teh Cricut boad and CDS doesn't have select all so you can move all the pieces at the same time.



Do I need a new mat or do I need a new blade? Should I change settings?


It sounds like that the blade has a lot paper funk caught in it. I used the "compressed air" and hit it once and it was fine. If that doesn't work play around with the settings.

I'll try changing the blade, I have 8 of them from buying cartridges.

It sounds to me like you need a new blade, and as long as you have all those new ones...you might as well.
