Slice Tip - Cutting Different Mediums

If you haven't noticed already, when using the Slice and cutting on differenet materials some times your cuts may cut better than others.

When this happens, it's ok :)  Your Slice is not broken.  Your blade needs adjusted.

Just like if you get a wonky cut, your Slice might need to be "homed" or you just need to plug it in because it's tired and needs a little boost of energy :) It's just the little things you need to do to get the most precise cut possible for your projects. 

You have to remember, some Cardstocks have different thicknesses and patterned paper comes in all different materials.  And now, with the Slice Elite, you can cut through just about anything!  Up to twice as thick as the normal things you have been cutting and making your projects with. 

But before you go from cutting a shape on plain cardstock, then to cutting something with vellum and then to using it on fabric, you might need to adjust your Blade.  With the Slice Elite, I've notice I don't have to do this as often but sometimes it is necessary :)

So, THIS is my number one Tip on Slicing with different mediums.  

Here is a short video with Jenny explaining how adjust your blade.

 

Have fun and I would LOVE to see your projects you created using the Slice and different Mediums :)

What materials does it cut? Felt? Chipboard? Vinyl?
