ok, i hooked up and installed the sil. my computer thinks i have trojan viruses and is deleting some files. i hope it has nothing to do with the programs i've installed. i guess time will tell.
I cut out a pretty flower. I have some questions though.
The paper went in and out about 3 times before cutting. Then the sil paused in between cuts for awhile. this happened a couple of times. Is that normal? Also, how do you know what speed and thickness to set it. ? i cut the first test cut and i saw that it kinda cut the mat so i changed it. i cut a test again and changed it again. then i cut the flower and i think it was fine.
When I purchased the sil, I received a download card with it. well, I went to purchase some designs and it doesn’t recognize my number. i will be calling qk tomorrow to get this straightened out as they are not in today.
can someone let me know of the online mb?
i did join silhouetteusers on yahoogroups but was wondering what the other mb was you ladies were talking about.
dania, how is yours doing?
thanks

Hil,
It is normal for it to go back and forth and stuff, it is measuring how much paper you have in there.
It does stop from time to time depending on the size of the image.
You will have to play with it as afar as the paper goes, I do know this, the thicker the paper the slower the speed.
It will take time, but once you get going, you will love this machine.
I can only laugh about that card, I told you the deal seemed to good to be true.. just kidding..

I replied to your post on the other side of this msg board. Your card was issued before QK changed their cards to $25.00 only. When you call them tomorrow they will send you a new number, crediting the new number with the correct dollar amount. It would not have mattered where you purchased your card from, if the retailers have the old cards in stock, that is what you get.
I actually like to purchase the large amount cards when I can find them because you get a better break on the purchase price.

Hil, I haven't had time to play with mine. I don't have my download card yet and no time or desire to scrap - I know sad. When I did get it to work on Saturday, the machine did go back and forth a lot before cutting.
