    I've tried different vector software, and so far, I've found that Inkscape produces the cleanest results, truer to the raster image than other vector engines. The only other software that I found to be better is Vector Magic, but Vector Magic is not free, but it can do colors. You can give this a try since you're getting into embroidery: https://inkstitch.org/

    an alternative would be to post one of the files, so another forum member can try cutting it and seeing what kind results we get. i agree with skeeter to see if another software will do the same thing.

    Did you ever try a different cutting software other than Studio 2? That way you can figure out hardware or software problem. Signcut has a trial. Sure cuts a lot has a trial.

    [Hello, how can I deactivate my Sigmaster from another computer? My PC was stolen and I don't remember my email.] Póngase en contacto directamente con el fabricante del software para ello. [Contact software manufacturer directly for that.]

    Not sure if it applies to this software or not, but will have multiple layers of the graphic cause it to cut multiple times? I know that SBE does, which comes in might handy for me at times.

    The TEST cut has to line up first, or much better than it is now.

    We do not know what you are calling "proper" position for blade depth. But do not use a credit card or post it notes to set blade depth. That is too much blade exposed out of the blade holder.( Too many incorrect instructions out there). If you are seeing the blade tip out of the blade holder, then you have too much blade exposed out of the blade holder. Your cuts look like that is what is going on. Too much blade exposed out of the blade holder. Try this. It works for correct blade depth. Posted hundreds of times on this forum. Make sure no vinyl is stuck in blade holder, blade spins freely and you can add a drop or 2 of light oil in the blade holder. 3-1 oil, sewing machine oil. etc. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should barely see and feel the blade tip out of the blade holder. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You only cut with the very tip of the blade. When you think the blade is so far in the blade holder, that you think it would not even cut, that is probably correct. The correct combo is less blade more force.

    I saw that when I was weeding it out, almost decided to cut the P & R's free- hand, also could left the B unweeded. And thanks for your help as well darcshadow

    If you are able to, download Inkscape (inkscape.org), and you can use that program to vectorize some of your artwork. It's an open source (freeware) program, and has a very good vectorizing engine.

    The function of the spring and the adjustment of depth have nothing to do with each other. Set the blade depth per Mz Skeeters instructions. Then if you're still having issues look at things on the cutter, bad cutting strip, non smooth movements of the cutter head, correctly functional solenoid. With the blade set correctly it is impossible to cut too deep.

    Just a guess, but your drawing probably is a stroke and not a line and your cutter is cutting both lines that make up the stroke.

    I would say yes, Greenstar is a cheaper vinyl, A good name brand vinyl would be a good way to set up your machine..
