I had the Gemini Jr for a year and was always fussing with it trying to get the right sandwich. I had to start with the least amount of shims for pressure, increasing with one more piece of cardstock or thicker paperweight or likewise decreasing shims I started with. More times than I can count it would start and then stop in the middle of the cut or emboss. Finally, the machine broke inside. The grabber was attached by a piece of plastic apparently. The small broken piece fell out of the machine It was not repairable from my research. I bought a new die cutter, the Empress, on sale through HSN. What an improvement! I have not had to alter any sandwich deviation from the 2 cutting plates, the magnetic shim and sometimes the metal shim, that comes with the product for all my sizes and types of different dies and folders. I send the same sandwich thru the feeder. Ba-ba-boom, it works every time.
