Well you learn something new everyday! I just learned that with the Grand Calibur the pressure is all on the right side and on the left side, so you should place your dies up and down the plate rather than across because you will get a better cut! Learned this watching the Create and Craft Channel. And the die cut machines don't actually cut, (which I knew), they provide the PRESSURE to the die that creates the cut.
See even someone who's been doing this for a long time can learn something new!
