How to Use a Die Cutting Machine

[@TheTruckingScribe]

I didn’t know I could get stamps and dies to match. Cool! New Subscriber, I will be back to see more. ❤

[@emilymooredesigns]

Yes that is my favorite thing! & Thanks so much!

I just got the Big Shot Switch yesterday! So great to “save” my arthritic hands, but I’m finding it hard to keep my dies from falling out of place. It’s a big step above my Cuttlebug, for sure!

[@emilymooredesigns]

Find a washi tape you like and you can tape your dies down exactly where you want them! That always helps me, Sizzix actually sells a low tack tape that works really well and won’t ripe your paper! Let me know if you need a link! ☺️

This is a very informative video. Thanks 4 sharing ur knowledge with us. I'm gonna get a manual cutter this week, I'll b working with vinyl though cause I'm using it for customizing certain items. Can't afford a cricut at the moment so this will do.

[@emilymooredesigns]

So glad this helped you decide! I know Sizzix has a lot of different materials as well you can use the die cutting machine with :)

I have an extended platorm from an old machine. Do you think it is worth while using it with my new sizzix or foldaway

[@emilymooredesigns]

Hello! I think you could try it out, I’m not sure how it would work with the foldaway but sure it would be fine! I love my extended platform 😊

You’re welcome!

[@joycebarker2288]

i am curious could I use this for scrapbooking ?

[@emilymooredesigns]

Absolutely! There are a lot of different die cuts out there that work great with scrapbooking, like florals, or even just shapes like circles etc that you could make a pattern or design with for a background! Or as embellishments 😍

[@kayequinn7146]

Just bought some sizzix dies & an embossing folder. Why doesn't th folder go through? They're siizzix brand,the fokder is longer than the one you're showing . It seems to be too thick to go through. Help!

[@emilymooredesigns]

@@kayequinn7146 hi! Make sure you are only using ONE cutting plate for an embossing folder & also make sure you are using the right platform (the grey only without the green piece) let me know if that still doesn’t work

[@BizonMeister]

How often you need to change plates?

[@emilymooredesigns]

@@BizonMeister great question! To be honest, I’ve had my die cutting machine for I think over 10 years now and I’ve changed them twice. To me, it’s like a nice skillet where you kinda want to work them in & get them “seasoned” haha but I know some people like them clearer/neater. That may be another video I can work on!

[@RosiePrice-f3b]

Im using the thin die cuts and I get a third of the way thru and it gets really hard to turn.

[@emilymooredesigns]

As long as it’s the correct sandwiching you should be able to force it through, some are harder than others and you’ll hear some cracking noises but that’s normal 😊

[@anita210287]

What paper ( gsm) You use?

[@emilymooredesigns]

@@anita210287 hello! I like to use a wide range, the Big Shot can cut through pretty thick paper, up to 110lb. Hope that helps!

I learned the hard way. Be careful how,you put your plates into your machine. Mine went in all wonkkee and I thought I broke it. My husband had to take it all apart and prayed I didn't break it. With lots of prayers he was able to get the plates out and reassemble it

[@emilymooredesigns]

Glad you got it figured out!! Don’t know what I’d do without my die cutting machine 😊

[@harpersmythe658]

Do you think you could speak up sweetheart? Even with hearing aids I still struggled to hear you and missed a lot of what you said 😢. I’ve subbed for now, but I’ll see how it goes 😉

[@emilymooredesigns]

Ah I’m so sorry! Of course I will try to speak a little louder. Feel free to email me at [e-mail] with any questions you have!
