did you roll it out on shortening or powdersugar/cornstarch mix or what.. if you rolled it out on shortening... i think that is why it distorted when you moved it.. i roll things like that out on powdersugar or cornstarch/powdersugar mix... hth... also.. when i cut out the letter or number.. i let it rest there for a minute or two.. then pick it up. and it does great....
