Hi all!

I’ve been using cutting machines for years, mostly the cricut, and most recently the Juliet Siser. I make die cut stickers.

I use the PPD Vinyl Self Adhesive Sticker in Matt, and a mix of cold adhesive laminates from clear glossy to sparkle.

However I have NEVER been able to solve the problem of raised/jagged edges once they’re finished in the machine. (If you run your finger over the edge of them, sometimes they feel a bit sharp but always feel raised).

I’ve tried:

- Fresh blades, both premium and standard
- Allowing the laminate to sit on the paper overnight
- Pushing the laminate down with full force, both a scraper and a roller
- Reducing speed and increasing cut passes

It feels like nothing works. I have to make thousands of these and I’m having to manually scrape down the edges by hand with a scraper, and even sometimes a sheet of baking paper and an iron. It’s leaving me with so much hand and wrist pain and takes SO long.

If I decrease the speed to 1 and like 3 passes, it could still happen, and I simply do not have the time to do that for multiple stickers. It would take years. At one point I tried 7 passes on a cricut and it still did it.

Has anyone ever found a solution or something that works for them? I’d be so incredibly grateful for any tips.

Thank you!

TL;DR - Any Chicago locals / US based person with a Romeo willing to help me test a 14.8" x 14.8" cut?

I’m looking for someone in the Chicago area or in the US with a Romeo who’d be down to help me test out a custom SVG cut file. Sadly, this file is too big for my Juliet.

I’ve been selling merch at local events and decided to make my own vinyl wraps for my display panels after seeing some cool ideas on Instagram. I’ve already tested some small corner pieces and they fit perfectly, but I really want to see how the whole 14.8" x 14.8" design cuts.

If you have the machine and wouldn't mind running a test for me, I’d be happy to cover the cost of the vinyl (peel and stick wallpaper), shipping, or whatever else you need. Let me know if you can help me out!

I bought my Romeo almost a year ago. I tried and tried to understand it and got so frustrated that I gave up. I just pulled it back out and once again, I just can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve tried to watch videos, gone on the app, watched the YouTube videos etc. The Siser videos seem very long and I can’t seem to find any that actually tell me how to do anything. I feel like I’m looking in the wrong place or something.

The videos on TikTok are just of other people being frustrated as well.

I’m generally great with sticking with things until I figure it out, but this has me ready to sell it. The cuts are off, even when I line it up right. The cuts are too deep or not deep enough. I’ve calibrated it, adjusted the camera, adjusted the needle, up and down in various positions and 1,000 other things.

I’m am at a loss but I’m sure there has to be some hidden (to me) resource I’m missing to connect the dots.
