Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI've only had a quick play but it's the Cricut Design Space which I think is the standard software and limiting is an understatement. Just pulled a few standard (free) shapes off so far. The sticky backing sheet has had it so the Vinyl kept moving rather than cutting so not too impressed so far.
By backing sheet I assume you mean the cutting mat? you can use masking tape to hold the vinyl on to the mat, also how old is the blade? does it need sharpening?Growing old is mandatory

ohh I got a book on bookbinding as it follows on from the leather work, are you re-binding worn books or creating new ones?
I'll look at rebinding worn ones once I'm happy with my efforts."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostDidnt think about that. Looking at the state of the mat and the fact it belongs to a school its had some use so yes imagine it will want sharpening. No idea how to do that. Might just buy some new blades and the school gets it back refurbed.Growing old is mandatory

Originally posted by Halo Jones View PostAny photos? what sort of paper are you using?
No photos on me but I used HP ColorChoice Inkjet paper (100gsm) for writing journals and Fabiano Artistico for the watercolour sketchbooks.
The HP Premium paper is better at 110gsm, but that was the best I could get (still fountain pen friendly though)."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
