The main thing to realize on the question that you posed is to be consistent.  If you are cutting on the line, cut all on the line, if you cut to the left of the line continue to do so, if you cut to the right continue to do so.  The more consistent and accurate you are when cutting the better every thing you cut will be.  In reality it is practice that counts the most.

Introduce Yourself. / Re: Newbie here My name is Laura(chanspirit)

Laura,
Welcome to the Workshop.  We love questions and Pictures.  I also started out with a Ryobi and wore it out and went to the Dewalt 788.  The thing about scroll saws is you get what you pay for generally.  In general the pinless blades will be what you will be using most of the time with that saw.  In order to make those key chains you will have to drill an entry hole and there will be a lot of times where the largest hole you can place in a pattern a pinned blade will not fit through.  No worries though because the pinless blades fit in holes that are quite tiny.  We are looking forward to seeing your work as you progress.  Oh before I forget, , Scrolling is addictive like you would not believe.  Above all remember to have fun.

Jerr7 I have not had dealings with Lesleys Patterns.   They claim to be the sole distributor of FLying Dutchman blade however Mike who developed the Flying Dutchman Branding sold everything to I believe the Wooden Teddy Bear.  You can still get great service by going to www.mikesworkshop.com.  I ordered from them 5 days ago and got them this afternoon.  Might wish to bookmark them.

Jeff for like the last 9 months the Excalibur has been unavailable anywhere in the world it seems.  None of the normal outlets for it have any in stock and do not seem to know when they are going to get more.  Not sure about the Dewalt as I continue to see them at Woodcraft here and sometimes the Jet also.

Brian give us a good run down on them.  I have a whole shop air system that is not nearly as noisy as the shop vac however some of my other tools can be a bit overpowering at times.

Pattern Requests. / Re: Way of the Cross Pattern

Brian contact them and see if it is still available.  If you have the old catalog and have the part number that help tremendously. If not perhaps they can tell you who the designer was.
