I use a lot of Dooley dies? Maybe should also looks at your special die that you use for you stitch dies. Thank you for another very informative video. I know I have been using my Cuttle Bug and dies the wro g way for over 20 years.in the early days didn't have a group on how to use any of my machines I am self taught with help many years later with craft magazines joined social media just over 6 years ago, that was like Christmas...hehehe 😊😘
Thanks for all this info and the tips, Nina! I really appreciate the extra work it took, and the ways you help us out. You really do go the extra mile. Also wanted to say the longer hairstyle looks so lovely on you. Have a great day.
Just received my first dies today and was so excited to get started. Using the Big Shot, I was seriously afraid I was going to break my machine before getting it to cut all the way through. I will try my Gemini Jr. and hopefully will be more successful.
I own all these dies...the problem is in the design. The outside cutting edge is too tall...as Nina says, the roller can't reach the centre of the die. The easiest way to shim this, is to cut the shape you want to sew out of light weight cardstock. Then cut one from very heavy cardstock. This is no problem for the outside cutting edge. Stack the heavy shape on top of the lighter one as a shim, tape (yes!) and run through again. This technique puts even shim pressure only on the interior of the die. It works a treat.
I love my Gemini Jr. I only have to run my dies through once unless the paper is very heavyweight. I appreciate the magnetic sheets that come with your die sets. I just got the A2 dies and the oval dies. I don’t know why it took me so long to get them.

That's awesome! Thank you for the support!
What is the plate you are using to rub the paper on to remove the tiny pieces and where can I get one ?
That is the Waffle Flower A2 piercing panel die
Lots of great information and techniques, thanks for sharing!
