I can't make a decision!

[swirlyarts]

Hi,
I need help making a decision about which Sizzix/Ellison Big Shot/etc to buy. If I buy one of them can I then buy a converter? I really quite fancy the Ellison but am I better getting the thin cut/thick cut one or can I get a converter? As you can see I really have no clue!
Any help on this would be much appreciated

You would be better saving for a Craft Robo and thenyou can cut any font any size

I sell them and will give you a free gift

I've never heard of a craft Robo - I'm off to have a look!

Hi,

I did have the old version of the Sizzix machine and have found that i rarely used it as it was very big and clumsy and this a little dated now...i think that if you are going to go for a die cutting system then the best ones on the market at the moment are the big shot as this is an updated version of the Sizzix machine or the quickutz machine.
You can get converters but i found that mine did not work that brilliantly

Hope this helps

I would be interesting in knowing what one of these is as well

I think I've decided to go for the Big Shot - it seems the best one available at the moment. I've found one on the American Costco website but you need an American address and Costco card. I can supply the American address beacuse I have friends who live out there but they don't have a Costco card. I only want to buy one from the American site because with the exchange rate at the moment it works out at about £28 from America whereas it is about £70 if I buy it here.
Just got to work on my friends and convince them that they need a Costco card!!

The robo is sooooooo exepnsive! I cant imagine myslef ever using it enough to be worth paying that much

Visited the in - laws at the weekend and they had friends staying who live in America and have a costco card!! Result - they are going to buy a big shot for me when they get back and either ship it over (dependant on cost) or have their son bring it over and ship it from here!!!!
I'm very pleased now
