    • Stacey from Scrapbooking Made Simple did a video showing what it can/cannot do. Very impressed by her honesty. She is not paid by Sizzix so her answers are her own. Also she informed us that it has taken 2 years for Sizzix to bring this machine to market. They worked all the "bugs" out before bringing it to us. When money is available I would like to purchase this machine as it will help ease the arthritis problems in my hands. By: dwells2010 (20-Feb-22) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you!

    • Yes! I have used my extended platform and cutting pads with the switch. Even though they aren't as wide as the platform and cutting pads it comes with, those extended and standard sandwiches still trigger the mechanism to start the Switch. It's great By: ShesCraftie (11-Feb-22) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

  • Recently received the new cherry pink machine and I love it. My question is in reference to the flower die. How do you use the long verigated piece. It the piece to be used as a center of a flower. Please advise. Thank you.   By: Blk (26-Nov-22) Helpful Question?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported.

    • If you’re referring to the longer rectangular piece with the intricate design, it can be used as an in-laid design, like a peek-a boo you can put a different color behind to give a kind of lacy border look, or use the outer part and cut it out to place it on your card like a border piece, tone on tone, with a contrast peek-a-boo color or even clear using acetate. Many uses. If you’re talking about the smaller rectangle piece, I haven’t looked at it too closely, however I suspect it creates ‘fringe’, which you could roll up and spread the small fringes out to use either as it’s own flower, or as a flower center (the more likely purpose). Hope that helps. By: dfaqueen (29-Nov-22) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

    • https://youtu.be/r2UFcRnGuWc. Here is a you tube link showing the intricte die being used. The intricite section only cuts the design. Therectangle cuts the inside out as well as having a border. I hope this helps. There are quite a few You Tube videos showing the Switch machine in use.

    • Yes the extended and the standard both trigger the Switch to feed the items through the machine. I've used an extended platform with standard cutting pads and an extended platform with the decorative border cutting pads. By: ShesCraftie (11-Feb-22) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you!

    Can I use my Anna Griffin and Gemini dies with this machine   By: User (03-Jun-22) Helpful Question?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported. Thank you!
    This question is about a related product.
    • Yes, I have this machine and I find it accommodates all of my dies including Anna Griffin and Gemini, but I love it most because it accommodates my many Bigz dies. I needed an electronic machine to ease the pain in my arthritic shoulders. I also love that it can use my smaller sandwich plates from my old hand crank Big Shot if I have a smaller project!

    • 12lbs
      -Update, the Sizzix website had said 12 however when Tim Holtz showcased his black machine he said it weighed 15lbs.- By: BuffyPink (23-Jan-22) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

    • I found the machine a little heavy, so I put some small sliders on the bottom (the kind that are sold for kitchen appliances) and it solved the problem. It slides out from its corner on my table with ease. By: demomcook (09-May-22) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!
