Using Sure Cuts: A Guide to Getting it Right

When it comes to using cutting machines like Sure Cuts, there are a few tips and tricks you can use to ensure that your cuts come out perfectly. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the common issues people experience with Sure Cuts and offer some advice on how to overcome them.

First, make sure to use the sizing tool to double-check your design before sending it to the cutting machine. This can save you from a lot of frustration and wasted materials. Another important tip is to use the correct blade size when making templates in Inkscape. For Sure Cuts, we recommend using 3.8mm.

It's also important to note that if you're getting ready to start cutting, your Cricut may not be calibrated properly. This can result in small holes and other issues with your cuts. If you have SCAL and Inkscape software, you can make templates for your Sure Cuts machine.

At My Shirt Connection, we've found that the Roland 65* blade works well in the Cricut as a backup option. We've also had success using this blade to cut Sticky Flock and Decal Material. However, if you're serious about cutting large quantities of materials, it's worth considering upgrading to a professional cutter.

Finally, be aware that PC did a disservice to the Sure Cuts machine by not providing adequate support. This has resulted in some users experiencing issues with SCAL software after an update. We apologize for any frustration this may have caused and hope that future updates will address these issues.

By following these tips and tricks, you should be able to get the most out of your Sure Cuts machine and achieve professional-looking cuts every time.
