What brand of template material are you using? I have found that doing at least a second pass at cutting template material does the trick. One easy way of doing this in WinPCSIGN is to select your entire design and choose "Duplicate" from the "Edit" menu. The keyboard shortcut for this is Alt-D. That will create another copy of your design exactly on top of your selected design. Now when you send the design out to the cutter, it will cut each circle twice.
WinPCSign Help for Rhinestones Needed Please?
I'm sure I've seen something like this posted before, but I can't for the life of me find the info I need. So I'm hoping someone can help.
I've been creating rhinestone designs using WinPCSign 2010 (full version). When I send them to my cutter, it will not cut the full circle. It leaves a "hanging chad" for lack of a better term (remember the 2000 election anyone? LOL).
I have tried adjusting the knife offset, and it has made it a little better, but not fixed it completely. Am I destined to have to duplicate and layer my circles to get them to cut right? Or is there another setting that I am missing somewhere?
I've been exporting as AI files out of WinPCSign, and then pulling them into FlexiStarter (came with my machine) but Flexi doesn't seem to want to cut them as circles, but rather a series of teensy tinsy lines, which takes FOR.EV.ER.
Anyone have any fabulous wonderful advise for me?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone! I finally figured it out.
Sandy, my knife offset had to be set at 100!! Anything lower, and I'd still have the little tiny section that didn't get cut, even with two passes!
Thanks for the help everyone! Hope to start making some templates and showing off some work now!

Can someone help with this design. I am working in Win pc sign 2012. I used the transparency tool to outline the softball inside the heart but I don't know what to use to create the seam lines inside the ball.

Just answered my own question on how to create seams inside a softball. I am sure there is a easier way but I haven't figured it out yet. I took a circle, typed some lower case xxx's, put them inside the circle and grouped it together. Under the text tab I selected "fit to circle". This gave me the curve I was looking for. I then duplicated the xxx's and set them aside, went back and used the transparency tool on the circle and xxx's. Last I filled the circle with rhinestones , then rhinestoned the xxx's that I previously duplicated and now I have seams!
