wonky cutting...

[w33blegurl]

Thanks for the tips all, I think card blanks may well be the way to go for me in the long term! The trimmer thing has been very frustrating as the first two just did not cut straight no matter what I did and the third, the blade kept cutting into the guard track and very quickly dulled the blade (which I then could not get a replacement for as they had been discontinued) and started making it cut wonky..! I saw a fab Fiskars rotary trimmer in some of the CHA releases but it was well over $100 so don't think I'll be getting that one!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one I'll also admit that even when I use my fiskers and line it up 'precisely' it goes wonky 7 times out of 10.

I did buy the set of three rulers (sorry, forget the anme) for matting and layering and I find these a god-send! They were a bit trickey at first and it's better to use thicker paper/card and to remeber not to glue/tape to near the edge.
