I have had decent luck with the segment overcut feature vs. smart cut as well. However, no software solution will match the geared head blade on the Cricut Maker that can lift and turn. Thanks for sharing your experiences so far. After I had worked with a Maker and the CS4 I came to the conclusion that Studio Design is the best software for designing and cutting, but the CS4 is not the best raw blade power for styrene. IMHO.

I have noticed that a variety of aftermarket mats, although they say they are for the Silhouette, are not. They have offsets as you described. I will have to look closer at the mats I do I have. Often, they are Cricut mats, labelled as Silhouette as well.
