EK Success - Paper Shapers - Slim Profile - Edger Punch - Lattice

Looks pretty, doesn't work right

I had a really great experience with another EK success border punch that I bought, the medalion chain, so I purchased this one with confidence. It is much smaller than the other punch, and that would not be a problem, but I have tried this punch on all weights of paper and cardstock, and it sticks..you cannot move the paper through it. parchment paper, text paper, newspaper, and 8 weight cardstock...they all stick. Only when I bang it on my table top, does the paper come free. Then when lining up the next row of punches, it is nearly impossible to get them right. The lattice holes are too small to see under the punch mechanism. Even when I line it up with the grid on the punch, I end up skipping spaces or repunching, whick leaves a big uneven square. I have loved nearly everything I have ordered from Scrapbook.com, but I really hate this punch.
