    Been thinking about buying the big shot for ages! Then this great starter came up at a great price, I thought why not? Tho I've got the cricut they both do different cuts. I'm very pleased with the big shot, easy to use, ok you need a few extra bits and bobs but it great! Gradually buying dies now. It's a lil bit heavy to carry around but that just proves its sturdy, and won't badge while using it. In simple words I love it :) x

    Fantastic product! Easy to use, looks great and I can use pretty much any die cutter in it. You will need an extra solo thin adapter plate for thinner dies though. Just what I needed to take my crafting to the next level.

    I wanted the Big Shot so that i could make larger cards and it is brilliant for what i wanted ,i am having a bit of trouble getting assesories for it though. I started with a CuttleBug and i am struggling at the moment toget larger embossing pads for my BigShot mind you I like the BigShot very much and i'm still practicing with it, I do find it easier to wind through though, and they say Practice makes Perfect.

    I am embossing a number of cards and get frustrated because the plates slip and slide out of alignment making the feedthrough a bit of a trial. Something to stop it slipping would help. Having said that once it is through the result is good on A6 although the embossing folders leave a mark at the bottom of the card. Not too much of a problem but I also wanted to run some square cards through (bigger than A6) and the folders leave line marks along each side as well as the bottom. So it doesn't do what I want it to do without making a hash of my card. They really need to modify the feedthrough - some simple guides would really help. Some non slip plates would help too. I am not making use of it as I could because of the sheer frustration.

    Oh dear me, I have just sent a review about the Sizzix Big Shot Machine Starter Kit and although I said that we would recommend this product to a friend it says that I wouldn't! In actual fact I have already recommended both the machine itself & Handy Hippo to several folk who I know make their own cards. God Bless you & yours, Joy & Elaine of Burrington, North Devon (UK)

    I absolutely love my new Big Shot. It's simple to use and the dies included cut beautifully. I've tried cutting all sorts of materials from thin paper to thick card, foil, fabric and felt with brilliant results each time. You will need to purchase a solo thin die adaptor separately if you want to use thin dies such as spellbinders nestabilities, memory box or sizzix framelits. My only quibble and it has nothing to do with the machine is the use of Yodel as a courier. I paid extra for express delivery but it took several days for this to arrive, this wasn't Handy Hippos fault and they were very apologetic.

    This is the first Sizzix machine that i haved owned and found it to give brilliant results. The starter kits gives you everything you basically need to get started. You will need to buy some additional bits to use texture plates and thin metal stencils etc. The Sizzix website is very good and explains what you need. The delivery from handy hippo was very quick and reliable.

    Although I have not had this product for very long, I have found it easy to use and very satisfying with excellent results. In addition to the starter kit I bought a multi purpose platform as that seems to be what people use on youtube and the starter kit came with a solo shim which did not seem enough for spellbinder dies. I also bought an tan embossing mat. I am very pleased with the product

    I think people need to know that when cutting dies the plastic plates get marked immediately - I didnt know this and went into a panic thinking I was using the machine incorrectly. Having researched the internet and watched youtube clips - its apparent that the dies cut into the plates - its normal! + you need to flip the plates over so often as the top plate can warp and eventually snap. I didnt know this. However machine is great, does what I wanted it to do.

    I would recommend the Big Shot to a friend because it gets such rave reviews from everyone who uses one. The one I received is a Christmas present from my husband to me and I'm not allowed to open the box until Christmas day! I can't wait to start using it! Delivery from Handy Hippo was very quick and efficient.
