To do this, I recommend
using non-alcoholic wipes. You can use other non-abrasive cleaners, but non-alcoholic wipes, such as baby wipes, really work best.
There is a simple way to rid your design of cuts that are just too small before you cut. All you need to do is click contour, and all of the little pieces will come up on the screen.
You want to make sure that your material is firmly secured to the mat. I do this by using a brayer. I like to make sure that I use my brayer on every cut.
