I have a love for crafting
I love that you can use the old dies and thinlets and framelets with this, very versatile, some of the dies are so beautiful I’m obsessed with more and crafts, I can make flowers boxes anything my hearts desires
So easy to use.
Simple to use,quick results,great to just experiment different textures,learning something every time I use.
A4 sizzix big sho
Love my new A4 sizzix. Upgraded from my big shot that I have had for years and STILL use
Perfect for the job
I love this machine being as it’s A4 size it’s great for making basically anything you need to make. Well worth buying the starter kit , everything you need to get you started.
Wonderful machine.
Although made for larger dies it is also great for lots of small dies at once. Highly recommend.
Cutting plates shocking
I’ve only had this cutting machine for just over a week and already cutting plate is so warped it cannot be used. I have had cutting machines before so knew to rotate cutting plate but still they warped beyond use.
Cutting machine itself is excellent it’s a shame the poor quality of cutting plates have let this product dow
Absolutely brilliant, will be buying more dies this month.
I am using this for card making and applique, great produc
Perfec
I love this machine, so useful in crafting, easy to use, cuts very well, dies are easy to obtain, and there is a great range of them available, was very well used at Christmas.
Easy to use but takes up space
It quite often misses the middle portion of a die ( even whennot a ‘cheap’ die)….so if A4 die you need to add a shim of paper in the middle strip….as even if you put it through again it still misses a bit of cutting.
Big Shot cutting and embossing machine
A very useful must have machine for card making. I have one myself but bought this one for my granddaughter as she is now learning to craft.
Sizzix big shot plus
I’m new to card crafts, and have made great use of the sizzix machine.
Value for money
This machine is great in all aspects except its heavy if you have problems with your wrists then you would have to have someone lift it for you
Great Starter Bundle
This is a greater starter bundle, excellent value for money!
Excelle
Excellent product, durable and easy to use with a range of die thicknesses. Bought whilst on offer so excellent value. I would have paid normal price as my normal size big shot is 11 years old and still looks like new. Excellent quality
Love the big shot!
Great product from Sizzix as usual. You can’t beat the big shot for die cutting and embossing. Wouldn’t purchase another machine!
best value I've found for this reliable machine
Did lot of research re:price & found this to be best value as it included plates as well as machine. I’ve used an A4 Bigshot for years but wanted something more compact. Cuts really well, good clear instructions & footprint neat. Well packaged by friendly Amazon driver so very happy thanks.
Great 👍🏻
My Mum bought this for me, as I’d always wanted the bigger one. I absolutely love it and it’s so easy to use. Make sure you check which Embossing folders are compatible though because the X-Cut ones are too thick to go through the Big Shot. If the folders won’t go through, don’t force them because you’ll break the machine.
Delighted with my Foldaway! So glad I chose this over the standard Big Shot.
Great piece of kit. Love how small and compact it is compared to the unwieldy Big Shot. I’ve bought it primarily for English Paper Piecing with fabric and it works beautifully. I bought some hexagon Bigz dies to cut both paper pieces and fabric and it’s working fantastically for that purpose. I’m not into papercrafting but from what I’ve seen it’s great for that. There aren’t that many Bigz dies available but I’ve got the 2.5 very long strip die, some square dies and so on — all for the purpose of cutting fabric. Really happy with my purchase. The only thing I would say is that the price hike to get a “package’ is a bit irritating. I’d rather have just bought the machine on its own rather than get dies and stuff included that I don’t really want. With the standard Big Shot, you can do that, but with the Foldaway it seems you have to buy it as the Starter Kit only. After I bought my Foldaway from Amazon, I noticed that it was miles cheaper on Craft Stash website — but that’s just the way cookie crumbles, isn’t it. Anyway, I’m always happy with Amazon as a seller and for ease of returns, problems arising etc. so I don’t really mind.

Great piece of ki
I bought this for my wife, she uses it for card making and crafting. She finds it very useful for her needs. It appears to be well made, easy to use, and produces good results. So far she is very pleased with i
Great piece of kit for making cards
Good for die cutting only limited by the size of the aperture. The fabric sent with the cutter did not cut as expected. Nice selection of dies for starting out, lots of hints and tips on the internet for using the cutter.
Addition to other die cutting machines
Very pleased with this bundle which I bought to add to other machines that I have as it takes the large Sizzix steel dies.
Fab machine, easy to use.
Easy to use and great value for money from this site.
Came with a few dies and embossing folder so you are ready to go.
Only down side is once you have attached the handle it no longer fits back in the box for storage!
Very Useful
Great value for money. I had a big shot express which I inherited from a friend. Recently it gave up when I used a die that seemed too thick…it started smoking!
I really want to buy the new Big Shot Switch which is expected on the market some time soon so bought this Manual Big Shot to fill the gap for now. It does all the jobs my express did. Great machine!
Does everything it says on the box.
This ways bought to replace my old Big Shot, which was still in great working order albeit well used after eight years.
I particularly like the fact that the base plate and shims on this new version are separate.
The big Shot is great value for money and I’m sure it will last as long as the last model.
Great product, should have got one soone
Really good value for money especially with the extra goodies that came with it, sturdy and well packaged.
Good all rounde
Value for money, easy to use. I have cut various named metal dies on the market with ease.
Nice machine , seems to be able to do everything you need for crafting .
New to this craft & found the procedure a bit complicated to start with had to tune in to you tube ,still managed to damage the cutting plates slightly but still useable.
It's an A4 size
I like this machine because I can it use any die from thin ones to the big steel rimmed ones.
Good sturdy machine.
Very happy with this machine. So easy to use. Comes ready to use with dies included. Nice selection of backing papers and even piece of fabric. Versatile machine, cuts various materials. Price was excellent and delivery very fast. Well built machine. Brilliant.
EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND PROMPT DELIVERY
THIS SIZZIX MACHINE AND BUNDLE WORKS VERY WELL AND THE PRICE IS EXCELLENT.
Clean cuts easy to use
Having wanted a die cutter for ages I finally took the plunge and I’m not disappointed. It does just what it says on the tin – cuts dies! They cut cleanly and very easily, needing little skill ! Good price- the only thing I have to do now is build up my collection of dies which can bring the cost up dramatically.
Works well and simple.
Cuts much better than the first electric model that I had to return. No need to pack out with different spacers so easier to use.
Need to have a good arm to turn the handle but that’s no different for any manual model.
1st hobby my wife has really got into and sits for hours
My wife is very happy with this machine, she sits for hours every day making her baubles and bows and that leaves me time for pottering about in the garde
Great finish
Was a birthday present for my wife, she was very happy with quality of the product.
It took me a while to actually do some die cutting, but, very pleased. Used a Bigz die on some denim, suede and beading foundation. Went through like butter! Always sad that the pristine plates get marked up, but I’m trying not to notice. I read other comments about dies not cutting properly, but certainly with a Bigz, all good here!
I bought the plus because I had previously had the baby big shot, and the big shot pro. The pro was lovely but too big. The original great but too small. I think the plus may just be the goldilocks version – just right! With the handle off, it just fits in a Really Useful 18l box, with a high lid, which is great for storage purposes.
Good sturdy machine
The big shot arrived the next day.
I put it to work straight away, making the two little boxes from the dies that came in the package. It is such a relief to have a machine which will cut dies without the plates warping. I purchased the Big Shot after having great disappointed with the Gemini machine bought for me for Christmas. (The plates started to warping and were affecting the card being cut, leaving impressions of previous cuts!)
One thing I think could improve the Big Shot is to chamfer the edges of the cutting plates so they’ll feed in more easily.
This is definitely great value for money. I am confident that it will serve me well.
Good purchase
Got this for my daughter with needs she wanted to make her own cards etc I had no idea what it was but she asked for one she loves it keeps her quiet for hours which is a bonus for me it’s fairly easy to use once youve got the hang of it and can get so many cutters to go with it. It folds up nice a tidy so doesn’t take up a lot of room either a very good purchase
Embossed
Good embossing and cutting machine easy to use and cuts dies easy embossing machine as well nice tool for crafters
Love big shots
I have a very old 6″ big shot with really wore plates so when I saw this 9″ with extras I decided it was time for a upgrade as I love my old one so much. It came in time but unfortunately the packing box was damaged. Overall a great new purchase.
Wonderful
What a wonderful machine. I will have hours of fun with this. I wish I had known about this earlier.
A fun, creative hobby.
I’m branching out hobby wise, adding card making and scrapbooking the bigshot plus is an excellent addition to my toolkit.
Exceptional value with easy to use instructions and lovely free gifts
Exceptional value for money. Easy to use with straight forward instructions inside and fantastic free gifts you get with i
The price
Nothing it’s a fantastic machine and I save over a hundred pounds that’s the reason for the 5 stars
It takes up space, but I love it.
Love it, I don’t need to worry about the size of dies or embossing boards now.
you can always rely on Amazo
easy to use and very useful in my craft work I wouldn’t be without i
