Consider making your life easier when cutting images on the Silhouette. Like many of you, I have been working with layered shapes, cutting many pieces for a layout prior to creating and going to crops. lately, I have been making kits for the scrapbook crops. I have been attending.
I have 4 mats, often two are consumed for layered shapes , so that I can load the next one and then work with the top layer while the machine is cutting. As well, I can prepare the paper I am using for my titles. This has made my prepping much more time efficient.
In a thread on the new QK forums that were released today, I read about wanting to keep their mats sticky. Although, one solution is to buy new mats, until you can get back to the LSS or your online order arrives, consider a temporary adhesive. It has worked for me. CC International Stick and Spray (temporary respositional adhesive from the UK) as it adds stickiness to my mats.
As well, get into the good habit of using the Universal Scraper. It's been essiential for me to keep my mats clean and helps keep the natural oils off my mat.
Hope this is helpful to all. Make sure to come to the QK forums and join the online community.
Have fun cutting,
Tamara
