Thank you for this. I have the Switch but I use the base plate and cutting plate from the regular big shot as it’s cheaper to replace the smaller plates. I save the big plates for when I have lots of cutting to do.

You showed multiple layers on the Gemini with the hexagon die. Can you do the same with the switch?

[yvonneboucher]

Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I just received my Switch machine and was having a to add shim after shim in order to get a Gemini 3D embossing folder to emboss. I was tempted but afraid to use the magnetic platform. Just a note, I chose the Switch because the majority of my dies are Sizzix and I have quite a few BigZ dies. I like that I can use all my Sizzix products with it and that it is electronic and has a larger opening than my Vagabond. 
Also, I do have the Glimmer Foiling system and being able to use it in the Switch is a plus. This is the perfect video. You covered so many questions. Thank you again, for being the "brave one" and testing out all the possibilities.

I am so grateful for this video! I don't know which to get. I own the Spellbinders cranking large die machine. I am not a spring chicken and cranking the handle takes effort. I also get discouraged when I need to make multiple cards. Looking maybe to ask for one of these machines for Christmas gift this year.

Hi, you always spritz the piece of paper? With what? Water?

[Glamdeb]

My e-bossing machine died after over 10 years. Definitely got my $$ worth. Now researching new electric die machines. I appreciate this review - very helpful. Leaning towards the Sizzix machine. Thanks again for sharing your insight.

[jacquiecoles]

Thank you I found your video really helpful but because I am disabled the lifting of plates really difficult so listening about the magnetic platform. I have heard the plates warp frequently so would the magnetic platform warp? Please could you advise me

[nancyjohnston]

I've used them all, and I LOVE LOVE my Switch! So convenient and runs anything through it!

[aliceadler]

Hey Missy!!! You are such a clear and precise explainer of usage in a machine. I like your precise directions!!! Hello Butters & Shorty, sweeties!!! Based on a lot of the information you presented, I think I am going to go for a Sizzix Switch. The Glimmer & the Tim Holtz Alterations dies are the big reasons. Thanks for your presentation. I am now going to go watch Switch & Glimmer!!! ♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🌺🥰🥰🥰

Which machine would you suggest is better for greeting card making?

[walmar]

With the foil machine, I have the go press one, will it work in the sizzix?

[budgetworks]

Great video, I have a Gemini Jr and it just quit working, I’m very interested in the Switch…..can I ask where you got you white mesh shelf that the machines are on, I’m looking for something like that. Thanks,

[SybilB]

Hi Missy, another great video! It's been a bit since I've been on YT either making or watching craft vids but I always enjoy your videos, they are so informative with clearly understood instructions! I have both the Switch and the large Gemini, the Switch is definitely my favorite, as well as the glimmer hot foil system, both are so easy to use. The Gemini worked great but the plates would warp so much that I had to replace them and they are quite pricey, however the plates for the Switch have slight warping, nothing bad at all. Currently the Gemini is in my craft hutch as I prefer the Switch and have it out ready to use. Thanks for sharing all the tips. 😊

[lvan]

Thanks for the information about both machines I have to think which ones they like I just have the cuttle 😊 bug right now

[deegrant]

Great video! I about the purchase an electric machine and am trying to decide which one is best for me. You have answered many questions!!! One quick one tho: how do you fix the warp in the plates?

[kristinforrester]

do you use the machines on the stand shown? I love that idea for space saving.

[bobbyspapercraft]

Love the sizzix. Be honest, I had the Gemini Junior and it worked great for several months. I was tired of replacing plates. Literally threw it out

[debbiehaney]

I have the Gemini. I’m glad you told everyone about the advantage of the original size over the Junior. Being able to use both the large plates and the Junior plates was the reason I went with the original. I mostly use Junior plates, but it is sure nice to have the large size for larger dies like many of the longer dies from Pinkfresh. And the overall footprint between the original and the Junior isn’t all that different.

Thank you so much for this video! My Cricut was in the box for almost a year. I still haven't figured out how to do what I want and I'm pretty smart....I just don't have the patience to follow all the steps. I've decided to buy a die cutting machine instead and this video has really helped me make a decision on which one to get!
