Creating Fabulous Fabric Projects With The Gemini Machine

[@kathrynwiller2840]

Should have read that before I hit the submit button ... Meant to say ... I think you are supposed to put the cutting edge face up against the top plate with the metal plate underneath the flat side of the die so as not to damage the metal plate with the cutting edge of the die

Hi Kathryn, the metal plate needs to be on top so that the die and plate together can cut the fabric.

Please help me! Bought new Gemini. Watched yours & prob 4 more videos BEFORE using it. First time thru, with plates & shims & die cuts & blades EXACTLY as instructed - it did nothing, even with just cutting dies onto plain piece of bond paper. Ran thru again adding metal shim, still nothing. Then, paused & reversed - still nothing on piece of bond, but with severe damage to all shims. So, I decided to flip dies over thinking maybe I misunderstood which was "blade side up", even tho I had used side shown in videos. It then cut dies in bond paper, all but one, but with large holes in shims! All of them! Thank goodness Amazon is always there for you & asked if I wanted to try another Gemini machine. It came in today (in one day). I am afraid to even TAKE IT OUT OF THE BOX! NEED HELP! ~ EP

Hello Elaine, I’m not sure what is the issue. When using the Gemini, cutting anything, the blades of the die must be facing whatever you are wanting to cut. I think you did that from what I can understand from your comment. The dies can only generally cut 1 piece of paper at a time. They do have some dies, like those made for fabric that will cut multiple layers of fabric, but I have never tried them cutting multiple of paper. I hope this helps!
