loop cut snaps to existing vertices

Hi all. I’m not posting angry this time, so no rant. Anywho, my loop cut and slide tool seems to snap to existing lines, which is bad, because I want to cut in an area that doesn’t have existing vertices. What am I doing wrong?

You may not be angry but your not being particularly useful.
Give more info, screenshots, blends, screencapture of the effect.
Have you the snap icon enable on the 3d view header, have you tried pressing Ctrl or Shift while sliding the loop cut ?

Could it be that you are putting a single edge loop in and not realizing that you have to click twice to lock it in place? When you place a single edge loop, Blender automatically goes into edge slide mode.

you got it jstapes, thanks!
