Making Puzzles Make a puzzle by mounting a photo or picture on paper and cutting it into puzzle pieces. The smaller the pieces, the tougher the puzzle.
New Corner Techniques To create a mat that has perfect, identical corners, draw a straight pencil line one-inch longer than the mat edge. With selected Paper Edgers, cut along pencil line. Position this template on the edge of the mat so both corners are identical. Hold securely in place and use as a cutting guide. Perfect corners every time.
Oval Shaped Patterns When cutting out oval-shaped patterns, either squeeze or stretch your pattern in the last cuts to achieve a more uniform looking edge
To Improve Cutting Performance
Cut through wax paper and aluminum foil. Rub an eraser over the blades. These two methods will remove paper dust particles, which can hinder a blade's performance.
