What size would you recommend for felt?

Another tip is once you start cutting, hit the pause button on the machine and then go to settings, there is an option to tell the machine to deep cut, turn it on and then resume cutting. I 'think' it automatically sets it back to normal depth, so you would need to do this every time. I really hope this helps :)Danielle Janeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881400954040306745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715340879821140178.post-49495112108763291532013-11-15T06:38:37.907-08:002013-11-15T06:38:37.907-08:00I am using the same blades & LIYU holder.

The blade is scoring the card while raised but even then is not cutting through the card. I was using expensive Graphtec blades so quickly I don't think I can afford to run this cutter which is very sad -- I was enjoying the creativity. Coyote Mikenoreply@blogger.com
