This looks like a nice machine. I have the cuddle bug and that is not going to be around much longer. I ordered some extra plates for it a few months ago to keep it going for as long as I can. This one works similarly to the Cuddle Bug so I will definitely look at this one when I need a new one. Thank you for the review.
I LOVE this machine and have had mine for about 4 or 5 months. If you sometimes have paper tearing with various embossing folder brands, you can switch out the embossing top plate for one or two layers of cardboard for a thinner sandwich plate. You just have to test your sandwich.
@@gotchaz45 I've seen that done on other machines so maybe you can - I would try it. I like the look of the machine with the slim line. I guess no one else has made a machine with the folding arm like the Cuttlebug because it's Patented.
I really like momenta products.. nice cute machine.. so compacted to fit everywhere or most storage..I already did my machines shopping but maybe in a future..
I wonder if you unscrew the handle too many times if you'll eventually have a problem with a warped screw hole that doesn't hold the handle securely any longer....
That’s a beautiful sleek machine I love the design If I ever need to go mobile I will consider this. The only two improvements I see is needing a magnetic plate and the crank to fold up over in to the handle- somehow and an extra cutting plate. And they should make a XL size.
MayMay, fo you have the field and EB folder that you used in this video in your store? I also have the Cuttlebug. Love it but haven't found new plates. TFS!

I've been looking around for a di-cutting & Embossing Machine~As well as a Heat Tool for Heat Embossing. I truly appreciate this review! The Cricuts look AMAZING!!! *BUT* Being as I am quite new to all this; The Cricut is a bit... Intimidating to me! (I know that sounds awful~But just being straight-Up! LOL)
Erica Meares I recently bought the new improved Wagner heat tool. Best price I found was Amazon. It’s a lot easier on my hands because they curved the body. They also added a stand so you can cool it and not have to lay it on a potholder or the like. It heats quickly and gets as hot as it’s predecessor. Can’t say enough about it. Especially the price.
Hi Maymay I love watching your videos !!! ...I hope you don't mind but the second language is french (maybe because of Canada)...Greetings from Germany :-)
Thanks for the review. I don't own an embossing machine yet. This one looks pretty nice. What's the largest size die and folder this machine can handle?

Can the clear cutting plate go down first, then paper and die, cut side down, and cover with the white base plate?
I wondered the same thing.

Looks like great machine! I'll keep that in mind when my Cuttlebug plates no longer work well.
Is there a way to use heat embossing with the embossing folder
Love this machine!! I sometimes have issues with my hands and this looks like you're not putting much muscle into it!!
Have you tried to use 3d embossing folder?
Would you recommend the Momenta over the Big Shot?
Where can I buy the replacement plates?

Can you use this to flatten Polymer clay?
Can you use 3D embossing folders?
Judith Thompson I had this same question. So I am going to follow and see if we get an answer instead of me asking again.
I want to know this answer too
Me too
@@bigred6815 I can tell you no it won't. I have tried everyway under the sun to make it do 3d and it won't.
Pamela Shumate Thanks for the heads up.
My friend took her old cuttlebug plates to a place that made thinga from Plexiglas. They were able to make the identical plates for $2 a plate!
Can it use Sizzix plates? And what about 3-D embossing folders?
Will this machine die cut 6 x6 dies? I know with my cuttlebug I couldn’t because not wide enough.
Roxanne Golde this has the sane opening as the Cuttlebug
That’s a beautiful sleek machine
I love the design

Hi, I am new to crafting and I would like to know if you could do a video comparing this embossing machine to the sizzix embossing machine?.

We do not carry the die set, thanks Admin Staff
How difficult is it to crank? As hard as a big shot?
LOL ... where did you get your sweater?
New paper crafter here and want to find a dry embossing machine. I'm having difficulty finding this one. Any thoughts?
Hi, we are trying to get this one back in stock. If you can't wait try a google search, thanks
@@tamthaluehrs I'm in no hurry!

I love my Cuttlebug but I know I will need to replace it someday

Can this cut steel rule dies?
Pat Woessner this will not cut those bigger dies
Thanks for the review. I don't own an embossing machine yet. This one looks pretty nice. What's the largest size die and folder this machine can handle?
Bonne Swartzfager the opening is 6 inches wide
👍
Expensive
Tfs:)
Can you next time practice with a darker color paper because it's hard to see the embossing on the paper. 🌹
It's actually French!
Neat machine but I’m good right now.
Every time you say don't blink, it makes me blink, what is wrong with me lol.
