The continents simplified until they cut cleanly at any size: narrow seas are closed, islands under about 2 mm² are left out and the coasts are smoothed. 10 pieces, with nothing narrower than 1.1 mm in a map 100 mm wide.

Will it cut at your size?

Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.

The narrowest part is the thinnest neck that holds the design together; sharp tips are not counted. For wood and acrylic, keep it at least as wide as the sheet is thick. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
