The only time I don't use the pinch roller on the media is if it is something crushable, like my flock for rhinestones or a foam core. But what pat says is right on the money. I love the four pinch wheels on the bullet. Cuz I can use a wider mat avoid what I don't want the rollers on and have everything feed well.

Thanks, Suzan. I appreciate the input.

Since the skewing was so decreased by the three pinch wheels being one each at the ends and one in the middle,and all off the media, I'm hoping adding that 4th pinch wheel will do the trick. I like using the wider mat, and actually often actually need to, so I really need this issue solved quickly. Easter is coming soon, and I need to make lots of projects very soon! :)

If I add a new pinch wheel, do you think I need to replace the existing three? I just have no idea about that sort of thing.

I would see what kind of results you get with adding the fourth pinch roller. If that solves the problem then I would think you are fine with the other rollers. I do know that many have improved success with that fourth roller so my fingers are crossed that the extra will resolve the issue. Will be eager to hear!

I have the newer roller in combo with the older rollers. I don't think you need to replace the older rollers. You will LOVE the addition of the 4th pinch roller. Trust me!!! Please report back when you have received the roller and get to do more cutting with it.
