  6. Position characters and shapes at the bottom of the screen

    When positioning characters and shapes in CutStudio, it is better to position them starting from the bottom of the screen. This makes it possible to prevent feeding more of the material than needed. The leading edge of the loaded material is the bottom edge of the cutting area in the CutStudio screen. Therefore, positioning characters at the bottom of the CutStudio screen means the characters will be cut close to the leading edge of the material.
