Default how to weed a sticker

hello,

i've started to create stickers using craftrobo cc200 20, and im enjoying it.
im also doing it for biz.

i wonder, is there a best technique in weeding the sticker? often times, the design weeds out together with the stencil that im removing, also the sticky excess (adhesive) sometimes sticks over the design as i weed.

can anyone help me out with the proper way to do it other than my experience and experiments?

a link to a website or video is recommended.

thanks guys!

I don't know if this'll help you out in your question, but I always go to YouTube for stuff I need to 'try to' find out...
Weeding
Be sure to look over on the right-hand side for other videos that may pertain this this... then just got from there, you can get lost (in a good way) there. heheh

I always work left to right or top to bottom. I clean any material removed afrter each pass. I also throw all excess in the trash as soon as I remove it.I hope this works. ..... JB

Default Re: how to weed a sticker

the way i was taught.. when weeding.. is if im weeding letters weed from right to left (starting in the top right corner) for weeding letters that are right reading.. if its mirrored start in upper left corner..
Now for numbers you weed from the opposite corner..

This has to do with the way the letters are formed.. and it really does help..
