You're doing it right (there are, as you see, a lot of opinions on how to set your patterns). But like someone else mentioned is wiping the wood down, I even give it a light sanding sometimes. Also the brand of blue painters tape can play a role (I have no clue what I use but I know one roll sticks better than another). That said I'd say that sometimes with the best pattern prep what your describing just happens. Also my first saw was a cheaper Porter Cable that vibrated quit bad at certain speeds and the pattern seemed to peel up more often. Since switching to a Dewalt I have had way less issue (because really the saw shouldn't be vibrating a ton).

Like I mentioned everyone's got a method, so a few other things to try (and I switch between some of these depending on the project):

  • Trace the pattern on (using a projector or graphite paper)

  • Use scroll saw tape - I like this stuff for simpler projects or when I really don't want to mess with spray adhesive. I'm pretty happy with it but it can get pricey so that's why I don't use it more.

  • Try contact paper instead of blue painters tape (contact paper, then spray adhesive, then pattern)

  • And some folks just spray adhesive the pattern straight to the wood but I think that's a nightmare to get it back off.
