- To help cut thicker and more textured materials, I decided to buy a Sizzix Big Shot cutting machine to avoid some frustration on my "electronic cutting machine." Let's unbox this thing and test it out for the first time.
There are a few Gemini Multi-Media Metal Dies in the Sewing Report Etsy shop, they are compatible with the Sizzix brand.

Perfect for artists and crafters, the Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting Machine is versatile and easy to use. Create one-of-a-kind cards, invitations, mixed-media work, scrapbook pages, wall art, and much more. The machine cuts and embosses a wide range of materials.
The Big Shot includes one pair of Standard Cutting Pads and the Standard Platform. Use them together to make all Sizzix components thinner than a Bigz Die compatible with the Big Shot Machine. They also work with other brands’ dies and embossing tools. The Platform and Thin Die Adapter include diagrams that outline how to make the perfect Sizzix sandwich.

I love my Sizzix Big Shot and the Big Shot Plus machines. I've made a 100 of my own card designs and invitations. Also, the Big Shot works for cutting fabric using the fabric cutting dies. It saves time on cutting intricate shapes. Plus, you can quickly cut complicated shapes and sew them together for fancy quilt blocks. And...it's hundreds of dollars cheaper than Accuquilt and Cricut! Unfortunately, you can't program your own unique designs. But there are tons of various dies already out there! You'll never exhaust your creative options. I subscribe to the Scrapbooking Made Simple channel. The owner does a free 2 hour class every Saturday on what all the Sizzix Big Shot can do! She has over 397 videos and owns her brick-and-mortar store for over 12 years now. She's been doing the TH-cam videos for 11 years now. Believe me...I am so happy I discovered this machine. It sure beats spending hours programming your Cricut!!
I agree, I’m not a fan of technology when I just want to use my hands and make things. Fussing with design space is not my idea of a good time.
Have you tried vinyls I am new to this world of die cutting and just got the "Plus" and must admit gone crazy buying stuff for it .... now I see the Cricut vinyl and Cricut Joy vinyl have you use them with your Big Shot.... I have only had it for two weeks.... thanks in advance
Than you just got my Big Shot Im trying to fiqure out if it would help me make paper beads templates
Thank you for these clear and easy instructions to using the Big Shot machine.
Love this review! Very informative and your energy was a plus! ☺️
Have fun with it. I agree that whatever you need to craft is certainly worth trying out.
🎉 happy birthday
I love my Big Shot and use it more than my electronic cutter ... FYI if you tilt your die slightly so it is not going directly parallel into the cutter it will go thru much easier.
Great tip!
My first manual die cutter was actually the original QuickKutz (not sure who owns them now but I will always love it, even had it retooled). After I got married, my husband bought me a Sizzix Big Shot. I absolutely love it. I find it does things that my Silhouette can't. I love texturing stuff. Learning the sandwiches is part of the fun. I've had mine for over a decade and just bought the extended plates and creasing pad and I could kick myself for waiting so long! lol I keep a couple sets of the cutting pads in various arrays of carnage. lol I love making cards and mixed media stuff.
thanks for your comment. I just bought the plus feel so lost but you comments helped me feel better. Do you know if you can use the Cricut vinyl and the Cricut joy vinyle
It's better if you stand up
Omg I've been so curious about embossing with a Sizzix! Thank you for making this video
It's kind of refreshing how low tech it is
@@SewingReport agreed!
I love my cricut for my intricate cuts on cardstock.
I love my big Shot!! Got it from Tuesday morning..I bought a Spellbinder platinum because it has a bigger cutting area!! And if you want to use thicker material use a bigz die or steel rule die!! A also own a Gemini Pro but haven't used it yet. Many crafters have more than one machine...
I use the big shot for cutting everything. I know as you use it more and more and learn more about it, you will discard your other machine and only use the big shot. Die cuts and embossing are so perfect on it. Just watch more videos on it and learn all about it.
I've had mine for several years. You can make felt flowers and other shapes with it. I make and sell felt circles. I also have a bag tab die that Sew Sweetness created. I wish I understood its capabilities better so I could use it more.
I use self-healing cutting mats in place of the fragile cutting plates that come with the machine. They work even better than the sizzix plates, and they don't bend or warp. I just cut them to the same size as the sizzix ones.
Don't forget the shims you have to add to make the cutting mats work though. Guess how I know?
I give you credit for doing all that on camera. I would be so stressed out trying something for the first time there's no way I could have the concentration to make sure I'm filming as well. :D
Haha thank you!
LOL, you'll be able to cut cat food cans if you want. I have several cutting machines and this one is just the best. No bs, just cutting stuff up.
You got that right! Sometimes low tech is better.
I have a Cuttle Bug, I have yet to use! 😄
I LOVE my Cuttle Bug! Actually I have 3 lol in case someone wants to craft with me. It’s so easy to use and folds up so it doesn’t take up much space on your desk unlike this one in the video.
The steel rule dies are better for cutting thick materials.
I had no idea you could cut vinyl with the thin dies, I thought we could only use bigz dies to cut fabric and vinyl. So that is cool.
Yeah that’s news to me too!
I’m thinking it’s probably not advisable for the longevity of the die though.
Thank you, the company who shall remain nameless made me mad when they changed their machines. I'm only wanting one to scrapbook with so I'm thinking of getting one of these
Buying dies can be a little pricey, but the benefit is that you own them outright and do not have to worry about relying on software or online access to designs.
@@SewingReport yep! That's what I liked about the ________. Lol. 😉
Try the sizzix bigs dies they do dies for sewing
Camping with this thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I follow a few quilting and sewing pages where people take their sewing machines and quilting stuff camping with them...I'm like "what?!" LOL
@@catblack4091 I don’t like going anywhere with some craft supplies to play with. Vacations are pretty boring without craft supplies. 😂
It’d definitely be called “glamping” then (glamorous camping haha)
Do sizlets work on this ?
for the algorithm
Horrible, got my first cutting machine and and chose the Big Shot. The lowest price but still a lot of money to me. Plates won’t advance at all and tried pushing and still no success. I followed all the directions correctly. Reached out to Joann’s where I bought and they passed the buck to Sizzix. Called the phone number and you can’t reach anyone it just tells you to fill out a form online. Still no response from Sizzix. This is so frustrating and disappointing. Think twice before buying Sizzix!!!!!!
It sounds like there may be apiece of packing material by the rollers maybe?
I had to add a piece of card stock going thru with a embossing sandwich. Worked good
