I was dissapointed w/ this machine. These are the problems I found: Most of my paper is thick/heavy weight. The paper wont stick to the pad, and the blade would not move properly through the paper, so it kept cutting through the same letter over and over. It did work ok through some thin paper I bought at michaels, but it is very slow. I only got one decent title made and the blade and sticky cutting pad already needs to be replaced. (the replacement parts are very pricey.) This machine is just sitting in a box in my closet, I might try to sell it on ebay, but the brand new ones are barely going for 60 bucks! Please dont waste your money. I am back to using my letter stamps and stencils and just cutting them out by hand. (or using my coluzzle, much cheaper)
