[/QUOTE]Unfortunately a new trimmer is not in the cards for a few months until my bank balance feels a bit healthier after Christmas so if anyone has any tips at all (other than persevere and practice) for less wonky cutting I'd be most grateful!!!

I've had several trimmers and it's so frustrating to find none were true, but I bought a 12" trimmer from Asda complete with a perforating and a deckle blade and it's perfect and only cost £5.
