I've had an ebosser for a long time and it finally stopped working. Definitely wanted another electric cutting/embossing machine. This review helped me make up my mind. Thanks for sharing.

I love my BigShot and I'm not planning on exchanging it, but I could listen to you for hours and hours! What a relaxing tone of voice and great choice of words!!! I might have to put this video onto my favourites list just because of it! :D

I was in Spotlight at the weekend and didn't see this. I don't need one, I don't need one, I don't need one. Who am I kidding? Love it.

The embossing debossing is stunning

I just unpacked my Big Shot Switch and I can't wait to try it out. Thank you for all of the great ideas this is my very first die cut machine and I am so excited. Loved your video!

Just received my Switch machine and found your video very useful. I do love your card ideas and how to use the supplied starter kit. You explain everything very clearly too. Thank You.

I like the way you explain "why" you do things. Thankyou

Looking forward to getting one of these machines as I love the bigger opening compared to my current Big Shot. ADORE all the samples - you are very talented and inspiring. Love how well you explained everything.

Thank you so much for sharing this new die cutting machine.

I just saw this machine in Hobby Lobby in US. Didn’t know it was a brand new cutting machine. How exciting.

Oh, such a lovely video and wonderful machine! You make it look so easy. I love the card examples. I am seriously considering this machine.

I love Sizzix!!! This is great!!! ❤️

lovely machine; like the looks alot!

Your voice sends me back to my 'Blue Peter' kids show days ... Next vlog please say ' ... and here's one I prepared earlier!' 😁 If you know you know! Some awesome ideas here thanks for sharing with us! ⭐️

wunderschoene Karten, danke für die Inspiration

Forget it! I bought a Spellbinders Platinum machine, and I love it.

a game changer for sure!

Went to pick up my new machine today. Love the new color. 💛🧡💛 Die cutting party now.🥳

Please do a video on how to make the little books! I love those, and I recently bought this same bundle.

Great video, Loved watching you demonstrate. Those hexagon cards you did are brilliant I’m new to Sizzix machines and that machine looks fab, having the instructions and diagrams on the plates is fantastic As I keep forgetting what sandwiches to do with what. love that 3D embossing Folder too. How do you manage with the pressure of the cut on this machine?

@spotlightmediacentre

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, the Switch has excellent pressure so 3D embossing is not a problem

I have purchased this machine and so far so good, I have a question though. as mentioned in relation to different size cutting pads can be used does that include the platform? I have a big shot magnetic platform am I able to use that in my switch?

@spotlightmediacentre

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kellie, yes, the magnetic platform is compatible with the Switch, as is the precision base plate and cutting pads.

Is this available in New Zealand Spotlight stores?.

I love mine, but sometimes it stops and the on switch starts flashing, and the plates are stuck. I hold down the button until it reverses. Is this the correct t thing to do? I thought the plates weren’t supposed to go in at all if the sandwich was incorrect. I am thrilled to be able to use all my dies and plates.

I have a question can we do hot foiling with this machine I am hoping so have a few questions about your new machine it looks different it got a make up from the one I seen at a show thanks for answering my question about the hot foiling in advance

Hi Earline, we recommend contacting the manufacturer of the hot foils for more information.

My husband got me one for Christmas and I love mine , I had the big shot before and due to lymphoedema in my arm I needed a automatic machine. It’s not overly noisy and I think it’s fast. The only thing is I think the plates have warped faster than I expected them too but when I replace them I will get the magic plates as I had them for my Big Shot and they were brilliant.

I would like to see what happens when you run something through once without your pulling on the sandwich. Does it pop out on the other side without help?

will this cut fabric and smaller thinner quilt fabric?

When will it be Available at the Stores or Website and How Much is it $$$.

Hi I'm in Australia and have had my switch for about 6 weeks. It's so easy to use and quite I've used my platforms and plates from my big shot . The only problem l have is when using my old plates it does not always go through the machine . Is it because the new plates have bevelled ends? looking forward to seeing more videos .

Hi Patricia, the machine is compatible with Sizzix cutting plates so this shouldn’t be an issue.

So much nicer than my machine that takes up so much room and then a ridiculous amount of room for a small embossing folder! Bye bye big shot!

I want this machine and am just waiting for reviews and a two questions answered: (1) Do the mats warp and can I use the alternative self-healing mats? (2) Can I use magnetic mats to hold dies in place or will that wreak havoc on the electronics?

@spotlightmediacentre

Hi, abcameo, As standard with our cutting pads, they are consumables and therefore over time will mark, warp etc but this is completely normal. We can’t advise on if self healing mats can work as we don’t stock these ourselves and therefore haven’t tested. Yes, you can use the magnetic platform in the machine.

Hi Rebecca. By reading other comments and replies, it sounds like this is a video put out by this Spotlight craft store in Australia and not from Sizzix company itself. So try contacting the Sizzix website before you give up on this brand. I’ve been very happy with the support I’ve received by Sizzix brand themselves. Good luck getting the information you want. Hope this helps you.

As long as my big shot, Sidekick and two other brands cutting machines are working and I am able to turn them I wont buy an electronic cutting machine. Its possible to save electricity, for people who need this help its fine to be able to craft on. I wonder why Sizzix named it Switch. There is already a Switch, from Nintendo. I still have my old very first Sizzix. Red, with lever. Thank you Sizzix for all the amazing crafting tools you are constructing for us crafters.

I purchased a Switch Machine from Hobby Lobby. It didn’t come with a metal shim. Wondering if an existing metal shim is compatible?

@spotlightmediacentre

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Teresa, a metal shim is not needed for use of the Switch machine. If they are cutting very intricate dies we’d recommend using the precision base plate.

Is the rate of warping wear and tear the same as the Vagabond 2? I am so frustrated that my cutting pads warp significantly on the very first cut. Can we expect this to be less of an issue with your latest technology? What is the US cost of Switch’s cutting pads, please? Your Loyal Customer, Mary, NY

i started using one mat to cut into and one mat that is always on top. Also I have learned to hold down the end as it is feeding into the machine, which prevents it from riding up and flapping - makes a big difference

I’ve had nothing but trouble with my new switch plus.

Hello, I want to buy this electric one, but I am very worried. Does it cut felt and are you satisfied with the machine?

We hope ist will be in Germany soon.

I bought mine today, It has done as I expected in cutting etc, however the clear plates has immediately been damaged by the dies supplied and the plate warped. There is also no warranty in the packaging with the machine . I am considering taking it back. Never had a manual big shot Is this a normal thing ?

@AimeeFleck

2 жыл бұрын

Yes it’s normal. The plates are a consumable product and will get cut up. Dies are cutting blades so it’s to be expected. Warping can be lessened by rotating the mats.
