I like to use a lot of foam adhesive when I can (for dimension) for thicker fonts, and if not, a good ol' glue pen works for me!

I'm 90% sure your fibrous paper is causing you bad cuts. The blade can drag along those little bits. Then it drags the letter out of place, then it cuts over the letter... It's a freakin nightmare. Get yourself a pack of the cheap paper sold at Michael's in packs of 50. It's crazy cheap and cuts really well. And you can get a lot of colors for only $10. Life is too short to cut with crummy paper. For sure! Thanks! This is what I was looking for - the part about cleaning it out. I do have the blade settings near my machine and also follow the recommendations on the Cameo software.

I use repositionable Xyron adhesive and always outline it with a stylus or pen before removing the top cellophane sheet. It becomes permanent after a couple of hours. The repositionable allows any of that stickiness around or between the letter to just be rolled up with a finger. I have never used a Silhouette font. I just use what I have on my computer or go to dafont to find a new one. I choose fatter ones so that they cut well. I often use the offset tool on the Sil to make a background for the title. I once tested cur on reposition-able. After 5 days, it still Could be picked up and moved. That said, I do use it on layouts because I use page protectors

I have used think plastic bags that I buy my fruit in to place over the top of the carrier sheet. Then I run an old empty ball point pen round all the edges to pick up the small bits of glue still remaining in the plastic bag.
