Default Re: Do you ever do a "test" cut for intricate designs?

I don't do test cuts, but i do watch the first cut to check all ok and i check and double check before pressing cut.

With large intricate designs you just need to take your time weeding, don't think i've ever weeded something i should'nt. It's fairly easy to see the design. The mistake i've made before is trying to pull excess off too quickly and pulling a bit of the design off ie the dots on i's, but you can salvage and stick em back on if your'e lucky.

As far as i know the only way you could test the design looks ok is maybe plot with a pen instead of the blade on paper and look but this should only show what the screen does.
