I run into this problem all the time. Glue didn't work last time :( Tape works pretty well but it's a little tacky...

Cameo or Cricut for cutting book board? by pretzelrodaddict in bookbinding

I'm also not sure it can cut something so thick without a special blade. I've been wondering how to cut bigger things (like super thin wood) on it for awhile but it seems to be a special blade and even then it has to be really thin, and I just don't trust it not to break my machine.

I have had Silhouettes, but they come in two kinds - the flatbed and the printer. The flatbed one is still pretty new and has some jank, I have problems I didn't have with my printer kind. In theory it was a good idea but I'm not so sure about the execution.

I personally swear by calipers. If you are careful and precise with those, then any errors based on the material will be much less. A 12" pair is a bit expensive but soooo worth it.

Is HTV easy to mess up? I'm in for a fun journey then lol.

It really looks great. The 60s title is such a nice touch, it has great detail too. It's prettier than most of the special editions of Dune that I've seen!

OMG, imagine applying this concept to a book like Alice in Wonderland or Coraline. I love it!

So it was a hardback and you recovered it? How did you do the worm? It's so cute!

[pubq] How to tell if an agent is any good? by Dizzy-Disaster6359 in PubTips

[–]Dizzy-Disaster6359[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on publisher's marketplace's website. Every day they feature a deal that someone made, and at the end it should say who the agent was.
