I
want to share with you. It's about physics. Did I just hear you groan? Didn't
think so. Lots of people have trouble with intricate dies - there are special
die platforms for intricate dies, but I've never found a need for one because
of physics.
When your platen (the roller part of your Big Shot) moves across your sandwich of plates, it causes the top plate to curve because the platen is curved. The bottom plate does NOT move because it isn't in contact with the platen. If you flip your sandwich, placing your uncut plate on the platform and the plate you use for cutting on top, you'll find you get a clean cut every time. Make sure the die blade is facing up.
