my hubby bought me a robo for christmas, I did find that the instructions and demo cd provided were not very good, have messed about quite a lot and am now getting better at it. Idid find that a tutorial on ebay was very good - bought it before I thought of asking anyone on here. The paper curling thingy, I assume you mean when it is cutting occasionally I have had it curl up on me, I think it is when the sticky is not so strong, I give it a quick spray with repoitionable adhesive - it lasts ages
dont fall out with it, just keep having a play, stop if you are getting annoyed and go back later. There were lots of flowers on the cds that came with mine, if you want to buy some to use, ebay or craftsuprint [ just click on craft robo] have a really good selection. I found that if I bought a few, it gave me the confidence to play a bit more and am now getting better.
hope this helps-sorry for going on
