WELLLLLL, I'm still here and was reading Mike T's big sign and it said the machine leaves a 1/16" edge where the pattern overhangs the edge. Is this only if the board remaim under the pressure rollers,(which I try to always do)and should I count on that everytime?

I'll bet your wondering when my 1 more question is up!

On this specific issue!
If you have a "Carve Area/Pattern" that goes to the very edge of your design/layout, you need to plan on how you are going to provide "Rails" for the top rollers to use.
The top rollers must stay elevated, or the machine thinks the board has left that roller and will abort in some way.

We usually keep any carve area 1/2 inch away from the top of our design, or plan on using a wider/taller board in the unit and Centering out project (DO NOT RESIZE WHEN ASKED). This allows for the needed rails as it carves. You, of course, still need the added length as stated before.
