My first attempt at Vinyl was straight from the roll, I didn't know how much would be used so left it on the roll, and it worked beautifully. I did forget to change the blade setting, so cut to deep, but it still worked. I will keep your tip anyway, cuz you know things don't always go as planned and I think I had beginners luck.

And I use the stuff all the time. So...don't be afraid to mat it. I have never had a problem. Ever. So, to be honest, I read this post not really sure what the problem was she was talking about.
