Catching Up

Been working on a couple of projects and finally have them done.  I was able to talk with a representative from the KNK company about my Cougar cutter.  She helped me figure out settings to get it cutting right.  Make the Cut software has KNK plug-in which made things SO much easier.  While the Cougar isn't a KNK machine, their parent company, Foison makes both machines.  Customer service at the KNK company is phenomenal and despite being a competitor to the Cougar brand, she was happy to help me out.

Thanks to Amazon's trade-in policy I almost have enough to get a Zing, a KNK machine.  I then plan on selling my Cougar cutter for 750 and shipping.  Even though technically the Cougar is a better machine with higher cutting force, I'd be happier with a Zing.

Here's what I made with the Cougar cutter today:

I designed the tile and after several botched attempts, frustrations and help from Sandy, finally got it cut out.

The box was a file from the MTC forum that a lady had designed.  Cut out perfectly!

I think now that the days are starting to get longer, I'm feeling better.  Hope to be quilting and maybe doing some more biking with my Muk.
