Advice on embossing and Die cutting machines

[Pretty Shabby UK]

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a die cutting machine...What is the best one?

Hi,
It depends what you want it for really. I know that lots of people on here have a cuttlebug but I have a big shot and love it.
I think it's down to personal choice at the end of the day.

Well am only really a novice, its for things like embossing card, cutting out tags etc, for family cards nothing too exciting

I got a few punches that i love, but am limited to what i can do with them

The cuttlebug is lighter and more compact. They both do the same thing.
I'm not sure about the cuttlebug, but I know with my bigshot I can use folders and dies from other die cutting machines.

I'm sure someone else will be along with more info for you

Both the bigshot and the cuttlebug do the same.... cut and emboss.... I have experience of both and think they are equally as good. The Cuttlebug is more compacted and easier to store away when not in use. The Bigshot has a slightly wider cutting plate it is also a couple of cm's longer than the Cuttlebug's.
