Hey, those look great! Especially for being your first dipe and 2nd sewing project in general!!! Congrats!

I made myself my very first dipe 2 days ago (have to post some pics) and I'd easily admit that yours look much better than mine!

I thought you were supposed to be able to cut through multiple layers with it, but maybe i't's this type of fabric? I don't know. But I have to push really hard and it still skips spaces, even when I'm just cutting one layer of PUL!

You might just need to get a replacement blade for it, mine wears out after a month or two of heavy sewing/cutting. I put a new blade on and wheee! I can cut through tons of stuff without having to 'saw' back and forth. If it's skipping spaces, that is def. a sign that yours is wearing out.
