I do use the Stamp-a-majig if I really have to be precise. Usually I take a lot of care when I'm mounting, first to make sure the rubber is straight, then when I apply the label. Before actually mounting the rubber, I decide how the label will be oriented so the rubber will be able to go on the block aligned with it. Generally with SU stamps I line up the SU copyright wording so it goes along the bottom edge of the stamp block face. In almost every case that means the stamp will fit the block in the same orientation.
Lots of times I mount things so when the stamp is rubber down the image is squared up in the lower lefthand corner. I do this with alphabets a lot. That way it's really easy to "peek" around the block and see where the rubber is...
I wonder if I have one? I think I might have bought one I am almost certain.
Ugh. what an idiot.
Take 2 a months of Sunday's to find it if I do LOL.

Most of the time I just look from the side to try to align it. I am not a perfect stamper, never have been never will be. If I wanted perfection (in terms of alignment not design) I would head over to Hallmark.
However, I too own a SAMJ and on occasion (more than likely altered art) I have been known to pull it out
But usually it's the bigger stamps that I stink at.
The smaller ones I seem to be able to align the image with the stamp just fine.
It's the bigger ones I have a problem with. I know stamping does not need to be perfect it should look home made. I usually fall in the messy look rather then home made. I think I just need to calm down more. LOL.
You all ROCK
