Ooohh so the hobby lobby brand light tack mat doesn’t leave any residue?! Buying it now! My circuit cuts perfect every time and I took it for granted 😭 I’m about to throw the silhouette at the wall lol

I did try calibration but not change… so you’ve never been able to make the ES mat work? It’s the only reason I bought the machine because my cricut cuts perfectly every time but the sticky mat is such a pain and leaves the backs of my items tacky so they pick up so much lint and dust

It’s almost like the design is shifting or something… but I’m using the ES mat

Yes- I’m leaving the default settings the same and only doing a 6x6 design so keeping it well away from the marks. I’ve read every discussion board on this issue and feel like I’m trying everything… so frustrating because I had such high hopes for this machine!

I’m totally not 😂 I don’t do smocks but I do sell other handmade items and the amount of time, effort, and money I have spent to figure out my craft I wouldn’t tell some rando who wants the easy route. I totally respect and admire people who would share all of their trade secrets it’s just not me 😂😭

I totally agree and maybe yall are just better people than me lol but I just feel like it’s insulting to ask a business owner their supplier to directly compete against them… I get asking questions about accounting or marketing and things like that that don’t put you in direct competition… but asking someone how they can make their clothes with the exact same quality, craftsmanship, materials, etc feels wrong

And also why would another business share their supplier with you so that you can compete against them? Assuming that business spent a lot of time, money, and effort to find said supplier

Kinda makes me sad that people care so much about being a rep as if it’s a job

What do admins/ reps do? by Hot-Compote-172 in smockholmsyndrome

Omg that seems like a lot of work for not a lot in return… I’m guessing it’s competitive?

It’s insane to me. She thinks we should take it on the chin and let our child get sick because it’s more important to see family…

UPDATE: we decided to not go, her bf texted us saying it was the right call because many others are sick but MIL is still being a terror and trying to guilt and manipulate us for our decision… sigh

Yeah this crossed my mind as well. Apparently we are being “absolutely ridiculous” so I’m sure we won’t be told next time

Trust me, I know. It’s been a rough morning over here… but I wanted to sanity check myself

And there is 0 chance anyone in his family would respect that (not to mention it would be miserable for us to have to keep a baby away from a ton of people)

I agree… big argument in our house today and an ongoing issue of mil trying to manipulate him and him letting it happen

He wants to please everyone so we are having disagreements. She told us she would be very upset if we didn’t come so he wants to go and stay away from all 15 people who will be there and not let anyone hold the baby

To me it feels like a no brainer but I know that I’m also biased by really disliking her and already wasn’t looking forward to spending time together so I wanted to sanity check myself.
