I have severe arthritis and I love the Empress. I gave all my machines that use a handle away to younger individuals who either homeschooled or had an interest in Art. Anna Griffin makes a wonderful product.

Thank you so much for not only the review but the tutorial. I JUST picked this up off of a FB group (it was quite a steal of a deal!!!) and I wasn't sure how to work the plate system, if it was worth the money and if I should even spend the low amount that I did. Your review / tutorial told me that I should and it came in today. I cannot be more thrilled with it as I had previously been working with my Big Shot and this is quite a step up from that. Thank you for all of your reviews. I'm an avid watcher of all of them!

Thanks so much for sharing. I just finished watching and I saw you using the narrow Trimmings Scallop Border Cut & Emboss Folder. I bought the same thing. When I saw that it didn't emboss properly, I got a little nervous. I have the Gemini Jr. and immediately put it though the machine and it embossed perfectly with just the folder and the two plates on Recollections 65 lb paper. If you're having problems embossing perhaps you should get an exchange because there may be something wrong with it. But, I was glad to see it cut and embossed perfectly for me. I'm loving your videos and just subscribed. You're showing us real world stuff with what we would be doing. Much appreciated.

They are beautifully made and fit perfectly with extra room in the carrier to pack the plates and with room for 8 or so thinlit dies tucked on the side. It was a surprise on the upside in terms of sturdiness however given AG’s high standard for quality, I shouldn’t have been surprised. Thank you, DL

I want to use her to cut my Stitchmas dies 🎉 I guess I'm going to have to shim her up until she cuts. Maybe I'll cut one of the SB shims to fit her if the metal shim isn't enough 🤔

Hi V! I just found your channel and love your honest in-depth vids! You really got me into Anna Griffin products! I love this mini die cutter- but can’t really justify the purchase- it’s limited to only 4.5” width dies when the full size empress cuts that size and larger up to 8” or so.. I personally have a vagabond II which also cuts up to 6” width dies- so if I were to justify purchasing the mini - maybe you can shed some light as to why it’s needed- it is so damn cute! I can see myself maybe getting the full size empress because it cuts wider dies than what I am able to do now but do many manufacturers make dies over 6” wide? Thanks so much for all your help! Keep the vids coming. I like reviewers who keep it real!! ❤️

Hello, I did get the Empress Mini I don't have any Geminis, but in the instructions it shows adding the Metal Shim to the sandwich for Embossing Folders. I think she just didn't see that. Maybe you don't need it for the regular size Empress. I just wanted people to know that my Embossing came out beautifully with the Mini. Maybe a larger electric machine will be in my future. I'll remember you love the Gemini.

Oh, i am bummed! I really wanted to watch and comment as soon as you posted, but I was watching right before bed and I fell asleep 8 minutes in. But this is such a cute machine, man I would love something like this if it was sold in Europe. The only two things I would have hoped, was that the frame embossing folder was a die, it would have been so pretty if it has some cutouts on the frame too, and I would like the edge one to be in two sizes so you could make a top edge without having to but most of the spikes shape away. Great review as always

It would be awesome if the strip border ones could come together to make a frame...I guess we can use an exacto to try and make that happen. That would have been lovely for the little frame...if it were a die. It's probably cheaper for the work to be done by plastic as opposed to making a full die. TY!

It's hard for me to decide, but I really don't like the fact that you have to hit that run button. That's annoying to me. Is the Gemini auto loading feature patented or something? The technology is there, so why didn't she use it? Just my thought. I would also cut into the magnet and keep the plates clean. It's getting rippled with the design anyway, so I would just replace that one when it gets worn. I am using an OLFA cutting mat in place if my plastic shim in my Gemini jr. and after hundreds of cuts, I'm still using the same mat and my plates are as clean as new and no warping. It has been over 3 months and it's still going strong.

Nice! I bought some self healing mats at Daiso for $1.50, and they are the perfect size to use as cutting pads. Which is awesome, bc they are cheap and I don't have to cut them up to work. I have yet to try them, though! LOL! I was wondering about that, maybe there is a copyright on the tech/way to operate the Gemini machines. That little button seems insignificant, but it is a pain.

I'm not sure what you mean. The difference in the size or thickness of the plates? I couldn't possibly measure the thicknesses, and I don't know the dimensions off the top of my head. If you actually cut into the rubber embossing mat so tightly that it cut through...then you have too many shims in the "sandwich." All thin metal dies are interchangeable, you just have to use the correct layers in the sandwich.

I'm on the fence whether to keep the mini or get the jr. I opted not to get the empress since I have the gemini

Yeah, if you already have one big guy, I wouldn't get another one. The junior is great because it's not huge and does the job for almost all of my dies.

I have the full size Gemini. LOVE IT. I am thinking about getting the plates fir the Junior and using them for my smaller faster cuts. Sara does it ALL the time. I'm not too impressed with the mini. Having to hit start and catch the plates when they exit. Still debating. Nice to have until January 31st. Happy Crafting!

Vianney do you prefer the empress mini or the Gemini Jr? Thank you
@VianneyCreates
@VianneyCreates 4 жыл бұрын
They are different machines int act the Junior is almost a full size machine. So, I would prefer the Junior. The mini...with a 4" or so cutting capability, is really great for a small machine.

Um, I don't know. If you can return the Go, maybe consider that. However, the Mini is now higher in price than the other day. Maybe wait until it goes a little cheaper, but in the meantime you'd be out of a cutting machine. They are both good machines, just different plate sizes is all.

That is bad that the Empress Mini does not cut the whole intricate die. I always use my metal shim on intricate dies. Let’s hope that is the answer. I did not pick it up. I do use my regular Empress all the time. I never use my Big Shot any more.

It did work after I added the metal shim, maybe I need to metal shim that cut and emboss die, too.

Looks to me, like there is a lot of extra room on either side of the plates as you feed the plates through. I fell like they could have given us a 4.5 set of plates.

I got this and I ordered both carry bags with dust covers. They are of extremely good quality. I got them because I go to Florida for the winter season and carry my empress in its box (that wears after a few trips). I am getting ready for my trip and packed them in the totes and the dust cover fits over machine in tote....very good protection 🤗 and yes a little pricey but good protection ❤️❤️❤️. I also have the Gemini but I don’t even use since I got my empress.
