Sizzix Big Shot Plus - Versatile Die Cutting, A4-Sized Opening, Sleek White & Grey, Portable Roller Design - Machine Only (White & Gray)

Brilliant price and machine

I bought this before Christmas because my Grand Calibur of less than two years old fell to bits. My husband declared it a complete heap of rubbish! All plastic inside driving two metal rollers. Why did I go for this machine in particular when there are lots out there? Reputation! Reviews, forums professional crafters all recommend the Big Shot. Price also came into it. I didn't want to pay over £100 as I have to pay a hefty postage out to Spain. Since using the Big Shot I can advise that it is a sturdy machine and doesn't move around like the GC did. Have had no problems whatsoever with cutting or embossing. I have watched Sizzix demos on Hochanda and the demonstrator has mentioned the 'all metal' inside which means it shouldn't suffer the same fate as the GC. The only draw back for me is that it has a large foot print and therefore not as portable as the GC. Still think it's worthy of 5 stars though.

Since developing arthritis, burnishing a lino print is too difficult. This is a cheap, small press for printing up to A4. Plenty of different thickness plastic sheets to get the thickness correct to roll your lino between newsprint and felt. The results are very, very good.

A bit tricky at first. Now I'm used to it, I like using it.

So far so good. Out of the box there were no clear instructions for which platform to use for fabric. None was required. The platforms are probably used more for card making. Resorted to YouTube and no stopping me now. The handle was very straightforward to attach. Cuts cleanly , accurately and so easy to use! I had minor breast surgery the week before and was able to turn the handle easily with no strain. Happy with my purchase. The downside is the cost of the dies but I was lucky to have some bought for me as birthday gifts.

Telle que décrite sur l'annonce. Ergonomiquement parlant, je constate une faille à cette Big Shot Plus : la hauteur des pieds ne permet pas de glisser les plateforme/plaques/adaptateurs en-dessous. Dommage car cela aurait diminué l'encombrement du matériel pendant l'usage et facilité le rangement. De même une housse plastique léger souple eut été la bienvenue afin de couvrir la machine quand elle ne sert pas. Personnellement, je travaille une matière inhabituelle : le cuir, reliefs (gaufrage/embossage) divers avant teinture et peinture. Si vous avez envie d'essayer : prenez un morceau de cuir tanné végétal naturel, rigide ou semi-rigide, épaisseur 1/1,5 mm, pré-découpez une forme d'écusson, humidifiez le, glissez le dans un classeur de gaufrage. Faites votre sandwich et passez le dans la machine. Votre morceau de cuir est prêt pour la suite : terminez le repoussage (outils cuir nécessaires), laissez sécher, teintez, + finitions peinture facultatives, protégez ce cuir et fixez le, par exemple, sur un jeans - un blouson - un sac à main - une farde - etc ... Les possibilités créatives sont vastes. Je suis très satisfaite de cet achat. Merci à Amazon UK !

Bought this for a great price. Really easy to use with clear instructions. Everything was packed extremely well and it was delivered very quickly. Very happy with my purchase. Update:- Sadly had to return the first one as, although embossing worked fine, the plate 'sandwich' for cutting would not go through the machine. Tested the plates on my friends Bigshot Plus and they went through just fine, so there was some kind of fault with my machine. Happy to say my replacement for the faulty one arrived the following day and works perfectly. :O)

I already have the smaller version but wanted something that would take A4 paper and card.. I had an electric machine, different make, which warped the cutting plates far too quickly, so thought I'd return to Sizzix and try the Big Shot Plus. It works well and I'm hoping it will last a good many years. It came with a spare pair of cutting plates, so they ate being saved for a rainy day!
