User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a big difference between the big Shot and the plus, width wise? It appears to be minimal according to the measurements
Answer:	Absolutely! You can put a whole sheet of cardstock through and unable to do that with the big shot, you can also cut more dies at a time if you are doing several for a card or scrapbooking
Question:	Do they have the silicone rubber mat and textures pad for the big shot plus
Answer:	No, it does not come with a rubber mat or texture pad. It comes with the platform, A & B plates and two clear cutting plates. I am able to use the rubber pad and creasing pad, which I purchased separately, for my regular Big Shot and it works fine. Note: I noticed that the plus machine has a lot more pressure and it leaves an impression of the die on the top clear plate when used together with the new precision (metal) cutting plate. It also warped my wafer thin die. I think it would have been ok had I not used the precision cutting plate.
Question:	What is in the box
Answer:	Big Shot Plus; platform; adapter sheets A & B and a pair of cutting pads.I've only had it a few days and played a little bit. So far love it! You can cut a whole lot of things at once, do several embossing folders in one pass and the large folders are no problem.Hope this helps.
Question:	Can you use the standard cutting plates from the Big Shot with the magnetic cutting platform in the Big Shot Plus
Answer:	Yes, you can use magnetic board, or any other boards that fit big kick or big shot in this machine. I Used the magnetic board, the clear plate on top, my die -blade up, paper on top and then the clear cutting board. This board will go the long way into Big Shot because it is 9" wide. I did learn that if you slant your dies on the magnet they cut out nicer. Folks PLEASE go to YOUTUBE.com and ask for Big Shot Plus tutorials. You will learn alot. Hope this helps you and enjoy your machine. PS Suzzix now has the new magnetic board on there web site under accesories.

User questions & answers

Question:	any die can be used
Answer:	Yes, as long as it is small/narrow enough to fit thru the opening. Thinlits or framelits work fine. You could not fit a platform ( thick ) die....I do not think.
Question:	I have a hard time shimming my original sidekick. Is this new one improved that detail or do you still find yourself adding additional shimming
Answer:	The updated version has thicker acrylic cutting plates to accommodate wafer thin dies. No adapter nor thick shimming is needed.
Question:	What's the difference between the special edition and the other
Answer:	I don’t see any difference - except the price! I have the white/grey option and it came with the cutting plates, embossing plate and dies and embossing folders. I am very happy with it. I have a regular size big shot but so many of my dies are small and I can use this right at my crafting table.
Question:	Wondering if you ended up buying the larger size Sizzix? The dies need the be very small for this machine
Answer:	I already have the full size Big Shot. Just bought this for smaller dies and does not take up as much room on my work space.

User questions & answers

Question:	can i use my own freehand drawings
Answer:	It is a "shim" that's necessary for cutting wafer thins but it comes with the Vagabond when you buy it. Good youtubes to watch are put out by Scrapbooking made Simple. Love my vagabond 2!
Question:	Does anyone know what the e (sdx125e ) means? i have googled with no luck what it stands for
Answer:	I have had no trouble with many brands of thin, intricate dies. All of the brands may have issues with cutting completely, but it's the dies that are the issue, not the Vagabond. Go to YouTube to get suggestions for solving this issue...placing dies closer go the edges, using additional paper or scotch tape shims, etc. I bought the Vagabond 2 because my original Vagabond, nearly 10 years old, gave up the ghost after thousands of cuts. I love my Vagabond and would recommend it highly.
Question:	Is it compatible with OS (iMac
Answer:	Yes...it is quieter and less likely to jam. My old Vagabond got knocked on the floor by my cat and just quit working. The improvements are significant. but I wouldn't replace a working Vagabond with this one...As long as your machine works, use it.
Question:	What are the 3 extra pattern collections in the 125E edition machine
Answer:	Mine came with the platform, two clear cutting plates and the thin adapter for using the thin dies. I purchased the longer cutting plates separately.

Big Shot Pro, 660550 Looking for the perfect die cutting machine for card making? Well the Big Shot Pro, our strongest, largest and most robust die cutting machine in the Sizzix collection is here for you For the crafter who wants it all comes the pro-strength machine that does it all. From our smallest dies to our biggest 12 wide plastic-backed, this machine unlocks it all. Utilize your Bigz, Thinlits, Framelits, Plus and Pro dies, as well as Embossing Folders all in one machine This industrial strength roller machine cuts and embosses many different materials from paper to chipboard, leaving you a multitude of options for getting creative. What's included? 1 Big Shot Pro Machine, 1 Standard Sliding Tray, 1 Standard Cutting Pad, 1 Premium Crease Pad, 2 Mylar Shims, 1 Standard Adapter Pad and 1 Die Pick. What is die cutting? Die cutting is a quick and easy way of producing individual, or mass shapes from paper, foil, cardstock or even chipboard using a machine and die, instead of cutting by hand. What cuts my material? A die cutting machine will always be necessary in order to die cut, though it's not the machine itself that physically cuts your material.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is included
Answer:	The machine I purchased came with the standard sliding tray,1 standard cutting pad, 1 premium crease pad, 1 standard adapter pad, 2 mylar shims, and 1 die pick. As a separate order I also purchased the Accessory set with a Solo Platform, Shim and Wafer Thin Die Adapter so I could cut with my Framelits and thin dies.
Question:	What is the weight
Answer:	We used our bathroom scales to weigh the machine. The machine by itself weighs 26 lbs. The tray and platforms needed for the machine weigh an additional 10.6 lbs.
Question:	What accessories are included with this white/grey big shot pro
Answer:	Not much as I recall. But that is OK because you should look at the booklet to decide what you want to use it for. I think I received 2 of the big extended clear plastic cutting pads, the extended tray and adapter pad. In order to cut right out of the box, I had to thicken my sandwich with manila file folders. I read the booklet and then I bought more of those big cutting pads. I wouldn't bother with the smaller sizes as you can always put little work under a big pad, but not the reverse. I also bought mylar shims, a silicone rubber sheet and a crease pad to allow for embossing and creasing. This thing is heavy duty and cuts beautifully. I have been cranking out Christmas cards and snowflakes all month. I have 3 electronic cutter and 2 other small hand operated die cutters, but this is my favorite. I can even make prints from etchings and lino cuts.
Question:	Does this work well for cutting fabric
Answer:	It works wonderfully on fabric. I cut 73 fat quarters for a large queen quilt with a custom die in 2hrs flat. It can cut up to 8 layers of fabric at a time. I cut 6 or 8 layers easily, and most importantly, accurately. The quilt is going together like butter since all the pieces are perfectly cut. Also, I noticed a lot less fabric fraying. I also bought a die for 2 1/2" strips for binding and turning left over fabric into jelly roll strips for another quilt. You can use Accuquilt dies in it but you can't use Sizzix dies in Accuquilt, that's the main reason I bought it. It is worth every penny! LOVE IT!

User questions & answers

Question:	can the motor be put on a big shot machine
Answer:	The order of the plates should be the same as long as the dies are not the thicker style plastic square dies from Sizzix. Just don't make the mistake I made - I put the die and paper face down on the gray bottom plate and of course the die cut into it! It's not ruined, but every time I look at it I remember to put the die face down on the clear cutting plate instead!
Question:	Does this come with the power cord
Answer:	It’s not heavy; works fairly well and is very portable; 3-inch max die cuts; great for crops away from home.
Question:	Do you have to hold down the button while it cuts
Answer:	Cutting plates are 3 inches wide and 6 1/2 inches long so anything smaller than this. I have a lot of dies and it works with about 75% of them which is nice. Hope this helps.
Question:	It supports big shot
Answer:	Hi, it seems like you're getting a ton of supplies or tos, but they count everything, here's the real breakdown 😬: 1 die cut tool, 1 buffer plate, 1 cutting plate, 1 embossing plate, 2 embossing folders, the circle die cut has 8 circles, so 8 nesting dies, and last but not least 50 sheets of precut cardstock 5"x3" for practicing , and Voila! 64 pieces!😉

User questions & answers

Question:	Do i need to purchase " sizzix 657160 accessory, solo wafer-thin die adapter " for cutting spellbinder dies with vagabond
Answer:	It is a "shim" that's necessary for cutting wafer thins but it comes with the Vagabond when you buy it. Good youtubes to watch are put out by Scrapbooking made Simple. Love my vagabond 2!
Question:	How well does this work with Anna Griffin dies
Answer:	I have had no trouble with many brands of thin, intricate dies. All of the brands may have issues with cutting completely, but it's the dies that are the issue, not the Vagabond. Go to YouTube to get suggestions for solving this issue...placing dies closer go the edges, using additional paper or scotch tape shims, etc. I bought the Vagabond 2 because my original Vagabond, nearly 10 years old, gave up the ghost after thousands of cuts. I love my Vagabond and would recommend it highly.
Question:	Is this machine an improvement over the original Vagabond? How so
Answer:	Yes...it is quieter and less likely to jam. My old Vagabond got knocked on the floor by my cat and just quit working. The improvements are significant. but I wouldn't replace a working Vagabond with this one...As long as your machine works, use it.
Question:	What comes with this? Does it include the adapter and clear cutting plates
Answer:	Mine came with the platform, two clear cutting plates and the thin adapter for using the thin dies. I purchased the longer cutting plates separately.
