Cricut / freezer paper trouble

I've made several freezer paper onesies with great success. Yesterday I tried to finish a few and the paper kept tearing. I changed my blade and realized I needed a new mat too. Fast forward to today. New mat, new blade. When I cut the smaller stuff the paper is now tearing. Mostly when there is an e or a or o... Something with a small piece inside. I've cut the same font and size before with no trouble. Right now it is blade depth 3, (any lower and it's not cuttig all the way through) speed 2 pressure 3. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Cricut / freezer paper trouble

  • Hmmm is your blade's arrow lined up with the line where the arm opens?

    Try re-adjusting your blade (take it out and push the piece down so the blade pops up and let it re-settle). 

    Speed 2 should be slow enough but maybe bump it down?

  • i don't have any advice, but I want to thank you.  I was got on here tonigh to specifically ask if you can put freezer paper in a cricut machine (so that I can potentially do a few onesies) and you answered that for me.  Again, thank you. :-)
