I've been wanting a new die cutting machine for a while, just to have a few features that my Kaisercraft sadly didn't come with. After lots of investigating, and lots of questions, I decided on this one. Happy to take any questions you have along the way!

I have the same machine and I can’t ever close it. In the 3 yrs I’ve had it maybe I’ve been able to close it twice. Loved this video. Thank you

@jl4643 6 месяцев назад

Mine doesn’t close either. Also is very difficult to crank & feels flimsy. Have been considering getting the original big shot to replace it

@lulucastro7344 5 месяцев назад

No I don't want to spend more money on yet another machine ughhhh it never ends lol but we love it. I just wish I could close mine easily.@@jl4643

@AlphaGeekgirl 3 года назад

Thank you! After watching dozens of videos and still not getting the answers I needed (comparison of old cutting plates sizes with the new ones), I can now make an informed decision.

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

So glad I could help Debi! That was the biggest thing I couldn't find too so wanted to make sure I shared that info!

Ooo I looked at this ages ago but I didn’t know if I would use it 😅

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

So far, I'm loving mine.... its a preference though.. the kaisercraft one works fine for most things.

@unexplodedbombshell3998 3 года назад

I have one of these, but I've never been happy with it. It's cuts ok, but I have to use a hammer to release one of the drop down doors so I can close it again. The other side is easy to pull out and close though. So I'm getting the new Stampin Up Die Cut and Emboss - from all the reviews I've seen it's very smooth and opens and closes really easily and it comes with all the plates you need. That was the other thing I didn't like much about the Sizzix, you have to keep buying additional plates to be able to use different Embossing folders and dies. Good luck with your Foldaway though, as least you don't have to keep a hammer close the way I do.

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

Hi Terry. I'm so sad that that happened to you. Did you let Sizzix or where you bought it from? They may be able to help. I haven't looked up the Stampin Up one.. I'll have to do that!

@mandy.austin 3 года назад

I am thinkkng about getting the gemini junior next. Would be so good not to have to crank handles.

@unexplodedbombshell3998 3 года назад

@@PlumMashable I did get on to Sizzix and they basically said "it will get easier over time"....which it hasn't. The place I bought it from said to send it back and they'd look at it, but it was going to cost $35 in shipping and they weren't prepared to pay for it, so I just put up with it. Now I've got the Stampin Up Machine and it's an absolute dream. No snap crackle and pop when you cut a die, no shims or whatever to get a good cut....cuts even the most intricate dies perfectly first time. It's a real game changer for me. Now I've got a cupboard full of die cutters I'm not ever going to use again 🤣. Except the WRMK Evolution - love that one for all sorts of things.

@mandy.austin 3 года назад

I love my bigshot but here's a tip. Buy a precision base plate which you use instead of your bottom cutting plate and lasts for years. That gives you twice the value from every pack of cutting plates.By the way i bought mine at spotlight.

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

I'll get onto that Miranda. Thanks for the tip!

@estherquintana9534 3 года назад

I bought the normal size sissix big shot and I love it I got mine from spotlight and I also have the tim holtz sidekick for little dies....

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

I'm still kinda debating a sidekick.. just to have a small one too... maybe for Christmas... Thanks for the tip Esther!

@mandy.austin 3 года назад

My 17 year old son decided to improve my sidekick and DISMANTLED it before i even used it, then he couldnt put it back together again Mamma mia!

Can u reccoment or send a link about how to use a Double Do XL die cutting machine PLEASE

@anaraposo522 3 года назад

Thank you for showing the big shot foldaway, I also just purchased one, and in seeing yours, mine didn't come with the extra stuff like the dies, etc. Did you pay extra to get those items? thank you for your help.

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

I didn't pay any extra, they were just part of the package I purchased. It may just depend on the retailer. I hope you love your foldaway!

@Linda.Swierczynski 3 года назад

I believe the ones that came out of the UK came with the extra items. But their was extra to pay in the shipping rate. I paid $112.00 Christmas 2019, without the extra items.

@stephaniefenderson1349 5 месяцев назад

Just bought mine too, received it today. It also didn’t come with that extra stuff.

@candicrandall8976 2 года назад

Does this machine make the cracking sounds like the original big shot machine when cutting?

@PlumMashable 2 года назад

Hi Candi. Thanks for your comment. Yes, it does. I'm pretty sure its just the plates and its absolutely normal. I hope that helps.

@jml9582 3 года назад

Is there a “wafer thin die adapter” for die compatibility for the bigshot foldaway? Do you know? I went to sizzix website and posed the question as they suggested the item for that purpose but could not find it under that description, only the “thin die adapter” ... ps: what are they anyway? I’m new to cardmaking and am looking to purchase a die cutting machine and researching....I wanted a machine where dies are compatible for the most part from different mfg co. I found some but they say they are compatible with “most” most machines...my head is spinning.... Help!

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

Hi Holiday Time. Sorry for the delay here. It's basically just an extra piece of plastic that helps to make the cutting sandwich a bit thicker for those thin dies. If you grabbed this one, you'll be able to cut with most dies straight out of the box. I didn't need to buy anything else. I hope that helps x

@jml9582 3 года назад

@@PlumMashable Thank you for getting back to me. I appreciate it. I did get the foldaway. i managed to get what I need. I think. Thanks for your help. :)

The bigz dies just use the two clear cutting plates!

Thanks so much for the info Sonia! I'll give it a try!

@delo1951 3 года назад

When you use the Bigz dies, the sandwich is cutting plate, die, cutting plate. I love the Sizzix machines and dies, I have been using them for about 20 years.

@PlumMashable 3 года назад

Thats not good Pamela. Did you contact Sizzix or where you got it from?? They might be able to help x

@pamelasertich9850 3 года назад

@@PlumMashable I bought it as soon as it came out. I can't remember where. I called Sissix and they wanted proof of purchase which I thought was a little mean. I called them within 6 months of buying it. They should stand behind their products a bit better.
