Don't know if it will help or not, what cutter do you have?

I find that it helps to shut the cutter off after cutting a couple patterns.  I think it has a small memory that gets full and by shutting it off keeps it from becoming overloaded.  Would be nice if the cutter would communicate a problem like this to Cuts A Lot.

Another thing to check is your ground.  Do you have the cutter grounded?  I ran a wire from one of the cutter to stand mounting screws to the screw holding the electrical outlet cover in place.

I doubt it's a memory thing. Most of the time with memory it just stops all together. Check the aforementioned ground, keyspan, or static. More info would help as well (make and model of cutter, etc).
