Problems with a Sizzix die

[reb6843]

I recently lent one of my new Sizzix dies to a friend and when she used it in her Cuttlebug, she found tiny pieces of rubber on her paper, as if it was being shaved off the die. I haven't used any of my dies yet, and all I have is a Cuttlebug. Has anyone else found this to be a problem? I'm worried that I'm going to have to run out and buy one. :(

Thanks in advance,
Robin

I think it's the new dies and not the 'Bug...I found that my Sizzix dies shed little bits of rubber the first few times they were used, and that was even when using the old Big Red Sizzix die cutter. They don't anymore 'though.

Yes, mine tend to shed a little bit the first few times I use them. I think it's just from the manufacturing process.
