I just bought this and broke the blade on my first try...
did I do something wrong? is it worth it to get another blade and try again?

Re: dubliner - re: Coluzzel
Did you get the white foam cutting mat that goes with the Coluzzle? It makes it so much easier for the blade to move. I forgot to use it one time, and was trying to cut with my self-healing mat and it was really hard to move the blade. When I realized it, and switched back to the white foam mat it made all the difference in the world. The white foam mats are just a couple of dollars, not expensive.

Re: dubliner - re: Coluzzel
thats a good tip Karen!! and you are so right...its very hard to cut without having that mat.
Also, Erica, there are parts of the stencil that do not connect...its made that way on purpose, You just have to snip our design out with some very sharp scissors.
Hope that helps!

Re: dubliner - re: Coluzzel
I like the coluzul - the mat is a must, I think. I just bought anouther shape yesterday
karen - I used my self healing mat - thanks for figuring it out!!! maybe I'll try again...have you ever replaced a blade? is it hard?
are there different sizes...which is the easiest to work with?
TIA

Re: dubliner - re: Coluzzel
the blade is really easy to replace. its a blade attached to a white tip. You just unscrew the silver part...right below the blade, take the old one out and slip in the new one and tighten!!
