Hello. Welcome to the forum! I have not cut linen with my Silver Bullet, but I would be happy to run a couple of tests for you tonight. Can you tell me a bit about the linen you are trying to cut? Most of my linen scraps are fairly "slubby", so I'm guessing if that can be cut, most any linen can be. Because of linen's typically loose weave, I would expect it to be in the "hard to cut cleanly" category.
In general, to cut fabric I use the 30 degree blade, and an iron on interfacing, although, as Gigi mentions, wet stabilizers or starch can also be effective. For the linen, I will also experiment with contact paper as a top layer.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Totally addicted to cutting with my new 24 inch Silver Bullet!
