Although I use the Big Shot with the enhanced multi-purpose platform and the XL Cutting Pads, I never get all the letters out solved clean. I have other XL punching and Sizzix Tim Holtz, because is not the issue. In which the punched parts already fall by itself out. But in the letter, it is a hassle because always somewhere that was not punched through cleanly. Of course, I do not know if this is generally the case, but I'll get me purely different alphabet.
