Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I punch through fabric or felt?
This model is designed for paper and cardstock. Punching fabric is not recommended, as the blade may jam or fail to cut the fibers cleanly.
What should I do if the punch starts to jam?
A simple expert tip: punch through waxed paper a few times to lubricate the mechanism or aluminum foil to sharpen the blade.
Are the snowflake details very fragile?
The 25 mm snowflake is medium-sized; its rays are sturdy enough not to bend easily when gluing.
