    Cutting problem

    I have finally dragged out my Silhouette as I needed to cut numbers. I have lots of dies but none in the size or design I wanted. The odd thing is one side of each number cut perfectly, but the other side only cut the top layer of the cardstock. So right side of the 7 perfect cut, right side of the 0 perfect cut, but the opposite side on each number only cut the upper layer, has anyone any ideas why that might be please?

    Hi susie - I wonder if your knife is jammed with paper/card detritus inside the housing? But then again, I reckon you have already checked that.

    Oh how sweet of you to think I'd even know to check that Yiayia. I didn't know of course and now I have and there's nothing there. I haven't used it in ages and when I have it is only on the odd occasion because it was too awkward to use but now my craft room is done it is accessible so that's the first time I've tried it but it's odd that is is one sided. The other side is cutting perfectly. i'll try again and see what happens when cutting something else with different card perhaps.

    Susie you do not say which Silhouette model you have.

    Adding to Yiayia's suggestion have you tried a new cutting blade?

    I have the very first original Silhouette believe it or not. I'm not sure which version of the software I'm using though. I have updated a few times but not the latest software. The blade is probably quite new simply for lack of use and I'm using the pink one. It cuts so perfectly on one side so I'll try something else when I get a minute and see what happens and will let you know.
