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:	Can you customize your own style
Answer:	Not sure what you mean. It’s a manual machine
Question:	Can you emboss leather with this? Under 6oz. Leather
Answer:	Sizzix sells thin, small sheets of leather in various colors. https://smile.amazon.com/Sizzix-660606-Leather-Metallic-Cowhide/dp/B01FV62OCY/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1536519420&sr=1-4&keywords=sizzix+leather
Question:	Bummer, I bought the machine, but It didn't came with the embossing folders, that are in the picture
Answer:	It’s just the gray folder thing that comes with it and the machine ... if it didn’t arrive I would think you could send it back for a new one...
Question:	Can I use die cuts with this machine
Answer:	Hello Eileen, I have tried but I personally wouldn't recommend it.. because the dies are thin, you need to make the plates thicker and when I tried it I ended up slightly damaging the machine, not enough so I can't use it to embosse, but enough to not try die cutting again.. hope this helps you. 

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 make dog tags with this
Answer:	Hello Dh. Thank you for submitting your question. We aren't able to test all products and the compatibility with our toilet seats, and because there are hundreds of different style toilets, we have no recommending information. We have not heard of complaints regarding toilet seats not fitting motorcoach toilets, but we can't guarantee it will be the perfect fit you are looking for. Please contact our Customer Service at 1-888-722-6488 if you have any additional inquiries. Bemis Manufacturing Customer Service Team.
Question:	Can I make brass tags for dog collars with this
Answer:	I believe the premium plastic is referring to the hinges. The actual seat is made of wood.
Question:	Can I make ID's with this
Answer:	No. The company only sells complete units and not parts. Use caution when cleaning around the hinges. Do not spray with cleaning fluid. Apply cleaner to a paper towel and wipe the hinge, or the hinge will corrode from being sprayed with cleaner even though you wipe the surface of the hinge dry.
Question:	Does this work well with military style dog tags
Answer:	This is a heavy material about 1/2 inch thick. It has an eggshell texture, not the smoothness of a piece of plastic. It is very sturdy and after 4 years, the rubber bumpers under the seat have yet to show signs of wear. After looking at my local hardware stores and building supply stores at as many as available, this seemed to be the best. Should either of the two I have need replacement, I would definitely buy these again.
