    The tabs were designed to work with "Pierced" and are invisible to a cut path - it will cut right thru them. Since you are ding it deep, try pierced and use the tabs.

    I'm not sure of what you mean by "wider at the base". I usually outline the pattern and then offset the outlined path by about .25" and then make the offset a pierced carve region. I usually set my tabs to 1/4" wide, flat, and make sure the height of the each tab is below the surface of the edge of the pattern.
