I had to stop the vid at

To me you are great, no one understands how much work goes into these videos!

[@tiaguile6865]

Thanks so much for this! I ve been following you for a couple months now. I really enjoy your videos. Your great at it! I’m thankful for the knowledge you are sharing. I’ve been researching which die-cut machine would be best. I am also grateful you told us about the Cricut joy. I was going to get one, I still might . I’ll just wait for them to work out the kinks first. Lol I’m on a tight budget (especially now, Coronavirus) but paper craft is my happy place. Thanks again for this. Excited to catch up on the rest of your videos. Stay safe and healthy. Your work is fabulous!

I've been subscribed for a long time, one of the reasons is because you ARE personal. Even if it's a craft I don't plan on doing, I'll put your video on while I'm crafting to have your voice in the background. Not to be "cliche" but you KEEP IT REAL, & I think most viewers can appreciate that. So thanks for all you do, Dios te bendiga.

Sorry to hear you got some type of negative comments from “Linda”! I don’t understand why people need to leave negative comments. If you don’t like a channel you can simple quit watching. I really like your style of videos and your personality. I was happy to see your channel come back after your other channel was shut down. Keep up the good work😊😊!

[@T_Nice]

I enjoy all of your content and whatever you decide to talk about but what I am most thankful for is the fact that you let us know about everything including how the crafterscompanion gemini machines work only with its own cord and that is a major plus and must know, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!❤

I have a Sidekick, bought in 2019, and I use my regular steel dies. Works perfectly. I also have a Big Shot and have used it since about 2008. Love it. Easy to use. I have almost all extra plates and such.

[@NancyH25]

I’m glad I found your channel because you are the only crafter giving honest feedback on these machines. I’m struggling deciding between the Gemini & the Anna Griffin because of the size opening but I don’t think it really matters. Also, I’ve read a lot of reviews complaining the Gemini warps the plates too fast & it’s expensive to replace. I have the Bigshot & it’s really hurts my hands so I want an electronic machine. But which one???? I think I’m going to buy the Anna Griffin. It’s prettier, which shouldn’t even matter 🙄 & it’s quiet. Do you think I’m making the right choice? Thank you for all of your info & opinions.

Great review! ♥ I remember you from the last channel that you had and wondered what happened to you. So glad KZbin's weird algorithm suggested this new channel! 🙌 I have a Big Shot, Vagabond, Silhouette Cameo & Portrait and the Gemini original and was previously looking for a smaller manual die cutter. I think what I'm going to do is just use smaller cutting plates on the Big Shot and Vagabond. I was blessed enough to find the Gemini at Tuesday Morning for 150$ last year but have yet to use it. I did order the Gemini Junior plates to use in it so I don't have to worry about the smaller dies. Right now I'm looking for another die cutting machine that's electric like Teresa Collins cut'n'emboss machine but updated to have the same features as the Gemini. I really appreciate the chit chat because I learn so much more. Thanks for taking the time to make this fabulous video and never mind the naysayers! They need to get a life. 😉

[@carolineknauth7116]

Thanks, I was debating about the Gemini Mini and decided against. I appreciated your ruler method to show how wide the folders were (to go through the opening). I'll stick with my Sidekick since there was only a 1/2 inch difference.

[@deb1623]

I absolutely love my big shot and all of the accessories are still available from Sizzix. I have large and small multipurpose platforms. All dies from all companies old and new work EXCEPT the new crafters companion double-sided dies (so long as it fits the 6 1/2 inch opening). The BEST accessory is the chrome precision base plate so intricate dies cut easily. I have heard the Big Shot Plus (with a wider opening/platform) is difficult to use because cranking (turning the handle) the larger parts takes a LOT of physical power.

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

I’m a Stampin Up demonstrator and we had the Big Shot from Sizzix but Stampin Up is no longer selling the Big Shot, they are coming out with a new machine. Isn’t it amazing the things that we think we just have to have. I’m in the process of trying to decide what kind of foiling equipment I want to spent the money on. I do love my cuttlebug. Love watching your reviews and comparisons. I love your videos no matter what you are talking about, I enjoy hearing about your life. TYFS. Take Care. Stay Safe. ~Barbara

[@stephaniemcknight4347]

I just love you, Vianney! You are like the best bud I love to hang out with every day! I'm catching up with your many videos, and I love every one! I start my Day with you every day. I just had my 75th birthday yesterday Sept 3, YIKES! How can I be this old!!! I really appreciated this video reviewing all your cutting/embossing machines. I have a few. You are so knowledgeable, and I love that about you. Working and, hands-on, knowledge. Thank you!

[@kay1234569]

Thank you for such a great video and reviews I have been wondering which machine to invest in and it so nice for honest advice

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

A super comprehensive review of so many machines. I didn't know there were that many! Thanks so much.

[@judyestrada1446]

I like the big Gemini & I also have jr plates for it. It is by my work area to use on a regular basis. I love the diamond press Dies! I must say they are quick easy & paper comes right out of them.the diamond press is ok as well.i have a cuttlebug I have had for years & I have plates & more new plates for it. It was by far my best send most machine until I got the Gemini. But I do like the cuttlebug as well. Thanks for the information on these products. You put like to of time & effort into to your videos for all of us to see & we appreciate you ! 💕

[@Sharingmoore]

I have only been crafting for 2 years, so I appreciate everything about this video...to include going off topic. I have a Big Shot and I love it, but I only have two manual machines. Thank you for the info on the CB. I need to get more plates. I have the Gemini, but I have not used it yet. Thank you again for this video. You are very knowledgeable and should do more videos like this. I appreciate it.

[@kofoedsandy]

I like your light heartedness. Keep being you. It was fun to see your stash of die cut machines!

[@tarabeard]

I have no idea how I missed this video! It’s a year old. I finally found a difference in our opinions. I prefer the Empress to the Gemini but since I started using the alternative mats/plates, I use the Gemini more. And yes, having to hit the “run” button is annoying on the Empress. You have a few more machines than I do, but not many. 😳 I LOVE my Big Kick (which I believe is the same as the Big Shot. But I don’t use the platform. You can get a magnetic plate, which is the bomb, and just use it with regular cutting plates on top. Very similar to the cuttlebug plate system. I prefer it to the Cuttlebug for cutting but I don’t think anything beats the Cuttlebug for embossing. Thanks for all the work you put into this. As for any naysayers, as my mama used to say, they can stick it where the sun don’t shine!!👍

[@jeanedmunds536]

I have the Gemini Junior and Go, I only used the metal shim once as I found it added too much pressure to the die cut and plates but that's in my machine. I also have the Big Shot Plus and Big shot (which i love) Calibur (which i hate!) Cuttlebug (which i never use) and the small spellbinders machine (which is OK) I use a power bank for my Gemini Go but it slows it right down! I love your channel and have followed you from your previous one, I love your style, your friendly attitude and your reviews, don't ever change. As many people below have said, if someone doesn't like it? - MOVE ON! Thank you for all you do. XXXX
