Cutting a large image 15" x 17" & something is going wrong — bottom half cuts perfectly, just the very top (as shown) is wrong! Any advice at this stage would be appreciated!

Wish I could help. You did say you taped some mats together? And you are cutting vinyl?

Do you have tables on your cutter? If not do you have the mats level? The other question, is this where it starts cutting and does the overcut have anything to do with it?

Thanks Retta, Dawn helped me — reduced speed, lowered force & changed blade. All good now, but what a day! LOL
