I set my blade by adjusting it so that when I draw it across the material by hand, it barely touches the backing paper. Pressure is set to 200. Speed set at 30. USB is connected directly from the PC to the cutter. What's a keyspan?

I have read everywhere that to cut the mask for rhinestones, you need to cut each hole twice. PLEASE tell me how! I have Sign Blazer and Flexi 8.1. I can not find it anywhere. I did discover that I can send the design to the cutter offline with the repeat set to 2 and when it finishes sending the file, I can press On Line and it will cut twice, but if I have more than about 125 holes, it doesn't cut at all unless I send it while on-line. Same if I send the whole file to the cutter. It cuts once, but if I go off line and hit the repeat, it dones not do it unless it's small. I have spent hours searching for the answer to this. Any help is appreciated.. The file is 2 lines of text, total of about 546, 2.3mm holes. 1.8" tall x 9.5" wide. Thanks Tom

Check out Michael's, Hobby Lobby, even Home Depot/Lowe's or your local embroidery/sewing store. They all sell temporary spray adhesive. Some of it is temp/perm depending on how you apply it. Tom

How do I make the blade go down manually? I read a post about pressing the bottom left down arrow while on-line, but I have tried almost every combination of buttons - on and off-line" and can't seem to make it drop... actually it seems to be dropped at rest but lifts when moving... is this right? The reason for this is I read the PDF on adjusting the pressure and it talked about manually downing the blade while manually cutting a square until you had the right pressure. Any thought? Tom
