That's strange and I only did 4 practice strips and it was cutting so good I know I can make it work for me. And, with the freezer paper clue, I am really excited about this machine. I will be able to make all the strips I need. I am glad I bought it. I don't like to give up on anything if I think I can make it work. IMHO. However, you do have to adjust the tension tighter than you would normally think. The instructions tell you it cuts by pressure not sharpness which would eliminate the necessity for new blades. And, with Wal Mart's return policy, there was not a problem with trying it out and then returning it if it didn't work. But I think I will keep it.

I had one for a couple of months and practiced and practiced and it just would never cut the strips perfectly straight. Surprised they haven't taken it off the market. SewinSue
