Jitter, Jerk

Post by CardCrazeeHeather »

Is there a way to make the cricut cut smooth(stop the jittering & Jerking). When cutting on vinyl it stretches it causing water to go behind cut immage. Causing immage to peel from a car window.

In my experience the "jutters" are caused by too many nodes being left in the .svg file. I always recommend in my tutorials to take a look at the files with the node tool and if the design is covered in nodes then you must do at least one path/simplify to get rid of them. You can do it more than once but be careful if you delete to many than the images starts to fall apart. That is when you do UNDO.

Try it on the files that are causing you problems.

Hope this helps

If you are only getting the jitters on vinyl, then try adjusting your settings, cleaning your blade/housing or it may be time for a new blade. If the jitters are on paper, too, then definitely look into node reduction as papasue recommends.
