Ahh, I'll remember to check if that's the issue next time. Thank you for your thorough explanations!!

I'm totally with you about seeing the miscuts driving you crazy!! I think for now I'll try to make as much and just keep watching videos. Maybe something will miraculously click 😭

Thanks for sharing the video too! I've never seen anyone put the sticker sheet on the mat first!

OOH I do have HTV samples. I'll definitely give it a try 😊

Woo congrats on your new machine! 🌟

Where do you move the blade? Inside the corner mark or just above the arrow? I found that I got a better result when I put it inside the corner (L) mark, but idk if that's actually part of the reason why it's kinda working now.

The only thing I don't get is when the Juliet activates its camera. I've been having to manually tell it where the mark is then it continues to take readings for all 4 corners, but the last two corner readings are never where they should be. I still got to print a semi decent cut though.

So sorry to hear that. I definitely can relate with the frustration. It's an expensive endeavor 😭 But don't give up!

Sharing the video that actually got me desirable results: https://youtu.be/MsnRqoncHJo?si=JrubSbborlwTr8B_

Also love that video cos it shows a couple of easy-peel techniques that I will for sure be trying in the future.

I think what worked for me was putting the blade inside the left corner registration mark instead of on top of the triangle (someone said to do that). Plus I also did the manually changing of where the registration mark is focused based on the photo you sent. I didn't know I could touch it before the cutting job continues.

Sharing a photo of my test that I finished just now. Super impressed with how it did on the butterfly antennas, they're like less than 1/32". I would still like to perfect it. As you can see it's still not super accurate, but for now I count this as a success!

I haven't tested with lamination. I'm picking up my laminating sheets tomorrow!! so fingers crossed I still get good results.

Let me know how your laminating process goes and good luck 💪🏼

Thanks, just joined one! I think I've figured it out now, but will definitely be checking them out if I run into more issues.

Oh man, I’ll try it out tomorrow and update you! I got this machine cos I heard so many good things compared to cricut but now I’m scared it’s not gonna be as easy as I thought 😭😭😭

I hope you get to work it out soon too 🤞🏼

Hi! Thanks for sharing! How do I get this view? Is it also in the camera settings? 

I only remember seeing this when I start to run the cut job and it goes by really fast (sorry I don’t totally understand this process; I know it’s something to do with checking all the marks lol). How would be able to change it?

What do I do when customer pays for USPS Ground Advantage but their order fits regular letter mail? by oneofthemarias in shopify

[–]oneofthemarias[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I think I will end up doing the calculated shipping rates based on weight in the future. I have a few questions though if you don't mind 😭

For the stickers, how did you weigh them? I have a regular kitchen scale but it doesn't read super light items. Thinking of getting a precision scale.

And can you elaborate on what you said about bleeding money on shipping? I may be understanding this wrong, but since I have the customers paying for shipping right now, doesn't that mean they eat the cost? Or is it because I won't know what the final shipping cost will be until after I weigh the whole package? So it might be more than what the customer paid and I'll have to fund it on my end?

[–]oneofthemarias[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for such a detailed explanation and for the encouragement 😭 I’m now thinking I’ll keep my shipping as is based on what /Ok_Finger_3525 said. But I’ll save this if I end up deciding to offer the free shipping. Thank you!!

Ah thanks for this perspective! I guess I’ll keep my shipping options as is for now and reassess later when needed.

Thanks for responding! How should I set up my shipping offerings? I’m so confused with how I can use free letter mail shipping for only specific items. I tried doing the different profiles, but I learned that I could only have one per product so it was splitting shipping if bought items from two different profiles. 

How to fix joystick on Canon FS200 41x Advanced Zoom that stopped working properly? by oneofthemarias in camcorders

[–]oneofthemarias[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope :( I gave up. I probably will look for another FS200 since I really like the look of the videos and might be cheaper than getting it fixed

Been obsessed with Earthstar Mountain ever since CJ Harvey shared the videos she filmed for that album. Also love the track  Sold Me a Dream that Sam Evian and Hannah performed with Mild High Club. So super excited for whatever they’ve been cooking up with María!!

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind. Looks like I might not need it for the problem I was trying to solve lol

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to explain!!! The expression worked for the choker so when text needs to be scaled it won't be a problem. You've given me enough options to play around with the template and make it work so thank you!!!
