Thank you for the quick reply. I wasn't sure about the cutting area because when I look at the picture of the 24" mat, the ruler on the mat goes up to 26".
I haven't touched my Silver Bullet other than to keep it dust free. I know, pretty bad, right? LOL! I'm not too worried about it though, I like a challenge and learning new things. I've been doing some vinyl cutting on a small machine for a while now, so I'm not a total stranger to the vinyl part of it (12" x 12" sheets). This will be my first time using the Silver Bullet, so lots of reading to do to make sure I align things properly. The good thing is I have a batch of material that isn't good for selling that I keep for testing. I'll probably be making a good dent in that pile!
The way I see it, this project is most likely the kick in the butt I needed to stop getting sidetracked and to finally start using my Silver Bullet!
