I bought mine from Hobby Lobby. I love it. What sold me is that I don't have to crank the handle anymore !
yup!
I was lucky enough to get mine right away and I am so in Love with my peach color and NO MORE CRANK. Thank you
awesome!
I bought mine a few weeks ago from Spotlight (Australia). I love it!, it crushes my Gemini on almost everything, but especially for noise and efficiency cutting intricate dies. The Switch is sooo quiet. Kudos to Sizzix for creating imo, the best electronic die cutting machine on the market today. Thanks for your review 🌸🌸
awesome! Congrats on your purchase.
I have used mine for 2 months with no issues regarding any plates and any dies or embossing folders. Yesterday I used an old Cuttlebug plate that I’ve used numerous times and the machine stopped and I couldn’t get the plates or dies out! I wrestled with it off and on and finally forced the plate sandwich out…and ran an embossing folder through as a test to see if it was still working! Thank goodness, it seems to be okay. But I was so afraid that I’d really messed up. No more using my very old plates. I pulled out some new ones!
oh, my! I would be scared, too! Do you think it was old plates or the fact that they were a different brand that caused the issue?
I have used these old plates with no issues…and you can use any brand from what I read before I bought it…I think because these were both warped, that caused the problem, and I won’t do that again! I enjoy your videos and especially the helpful hints!
Thanks for this review. I just got my Switch and am really enjoying it.
great!
I am in Canada and i have one on order at a scrapbooking store. I am very excited to get it. My regular Big Shot wore out on a big order i was doing. I have now purchased a regular Big Shot so i will have both. Your video has made me very excited to get the Switch but i have to be patient because i know how popular it is and in big demand.
great! Thanks for watching :)
Trying to justify buying yet another cutting machine!!! I don't use my Gemini much but maybe would use this one much more. Will have to think on it some more! Have time anyway until they're restocked!!! TFS!!
It's like when I got my first die cutting machine. It was such a pain to use and didn't produce great results, so I didn't use it. When I switched to the regular Big Shot, it changed everything for me, so I started die cutting! Maybe that would happen if you switched from the Gemini to this, but it's hard to say. If it's working for you, that's a good thing.
I don think you’ll regret. Like you I have others. I love my, DREAM MACHINE, as I call it.
I just used your link to order this wonderful machine, unfortunately it is on backorder. They will text me when one becomes available. Thank you so much Lolly for your review. I'm getting the white one too.
Thank you! So when they message you that it's available, please come back to my video and grab the link again to buy it -- the site won't remember that you looked at my link over a day ago. Thanks!
I really appreciate your demo on how this new machine works. I have to consider on getting another machine in my tiny craft room. TFS! 💕🌴😎
thanks for watching!
I got the one from Hobby lobby and have been hesitant to open it because I didn’t really know how to go about it I guess I’ve had a cuttlebug never use electronic diecutting machine before so I’ve been hesitant for that reason just a little nervous anyways thank you for making it seem so simple and explaining it so clearly I already tried using your technique I’m flattening the plates and it was been working amazingly so that was also a great tip! Thank you thank you thank you
Awesome! Number one tip (and I meant to mention this but forgot) is to get it out of the box and start using it right away. Your warranty started the day you bought it, so if you leave it in the box for 13 months and then take it out to try it, the warranty is already expired before you try it.
@@LollyPalooza Does Sizzix have the "register your machine" online option -- to extend past the standard warranty period?
Thank you so much for sharing this and explaining what the switch means!
Glad it was helpful!
Glad it got there Lolly- great review!
Thank you 🤗 Thanks for the contact info! :)
Hellooooooo I learned that a framelits and thinlets differ in that the framelits are hollow in the middle or a frame it cuts the outline shape, and a thinlet has cutting on edges and interior lines so it cuts the butterfly details not just the shape
thanks!
I won’t tell you exactly how many die cutting machines I own only that it’s over 5! I can’t seem to get rid of any! There’s the first one I bought then a second one like it in case the original broke and of course I had to have a. mini. (And don’t forget the beautiful decorative handle I bought from England because the handle on the first one broke but in the meantime figured out how to fix it.) So 2 identical machines and 3 handles. There’s the one I bought at Tuesday morning for dirt cheap because it took steel rule dies and for which I had already bought the chrome plate and a steel rule die. Then my fist full-sized electronic one followed by a Jr. because it was so darn cute. Maybe I’ll stop there but I anticipate I’ll buy the Switch in a color to match my living room where I do a lot of my crafting and another for my bedroom, gotta have pink! I thought when I retired I’d quit spending but nope! Oh and let’s not forget the Brother ScanNCut.
I have the Big Shot & two mini machines (WRMK Evolution Advanced Mini and Dress My Craft Easy Cuts). Now I have two electronic die cutters (Gemini and this Switch). As for digital cutting machines, I have Cameo 2, Cricut Joy, and the first Cricut Maker. I will get rid of the Gemini when I figure out how! :)
@@LollyPalooza I think there’s a for sale fb group for either cricket or anything can be sold, not sure which. I’ve been watching in my fb n yt groups. Hope to see some people that seem to be sincere in wanting/needing one and I’d give some away. I’d probably sell the electronic ones. There is absolutely no reason for me to have all of those except for keepsakes. When I die nobody I know will know what to do with them! Lol
Great information, Lolly!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks a bunch for watching!
I bought the same machine but mine is pink. I would have gotten the white but the pink was the only one available. I guess the color doesn’t matter that much. Great machine ❤️
My favs are the pink and white ones. The pink would match my craft room.
@@LollyPalooza I love the pink but if there was a pretty mint green, I would have bought that❤️❤️❤️
I have a cut n boss electric die cutter that does all this. It still works great so I think Ill wait till it dies.. I also have the empress mini that I love. Great review though.
I had not heard of Cut N Boss before. Looks like there is no platform to hold the plates as they are going in. Does it work well?
@@LollyPalooza It is Teresa Collins “ebosser”. It’s old now but works great. It has all the platforms like the sizzix or cuttlebug etc. I have not found anything it can’t cut. It also will emboss 3d embossing folders. When I first saw the Switch I figured they had bought the “ebosser” patten as it seems almost identical.
Sorry it was made by Craftwell about 7 or 8 years ago. Like I said still works great.
Great review! Thanks for sharing! 🐞✌️🕉️
Thanks for watching!
Love it 😊 thanks for sharing..
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
WOW...I want one................
:) Thanks for watching
Could you use waxed paper between the cardstock and an intricate die if you dont have a chrome plate? Or the magnetic plate?
I actually don't need any special plates for my intricate dies. I run them through with the regular "sandwich," and they are fine.
Please watch Tim Holtz demo the switch. He has a lot of tips!
I started to, but it's over two hours long :)
@@LollyPalooza Tim demos every cutting plate, embossing folder, and die that Sizzix makes. You obviously have a life if you won’t watch Boyfriend Tim for two hours! Lol! That is a joke, seriously ! I DON’t have a life - I’ve watched it twice plus bits and pieces here and there! I have embraced the pandemic! I’m a retired loner, avid CZcams watcher, and card maker/paper crafter! The grocery store and eating out occasionally are my other entertainment! Have a good week!
@@DonnaJo3452 We must be kindred spirits. I didn't start watching Tim until my retirement and Covid coincided. I think he's kept me sane BUT broke. I love how thorough and informative he is in his demos...no stone unturned. He even demoed Switchlits. I think my craft stash has doubled in the last two years and, yes, of course, I bought his switch but I did find a great price on it. Cannot wait for it to get here.
@@LollyPalooza It's worth the time -- view in segments. A California mom-and-pop shop (Stacey at Scrapbooking Made Simple) did a recent Switch review, too. Very thorough -- goes thru all types/styles of dies manufactured throughout the years and how they work w/ this machine. Longer video, too, but worth the time to view in segments.
@@inkyfeet12 her video was over three hours. I don't have time to spend on all the chit chat. I need to have videos that just get to the point. :)
Thanks for sharing. I would love to know how it works out down the road and curious what the warranty is on the motor. Can you use dies from other manufacturers in the machine? Such as a Spellbinders, KS crafts or Ali Express dies?
Yes, I've never used any die cutting system that could not use other brands. However, AliExpress dies are not the best quality. The only dies I've ever had problems with (not cutting) are AliExpress.
@@LollyPalooza thank you so much, good to know
the circles are considered "Framelits"...any simple frame, like squares, rectangles, hexagons, etc. :)
thanks!
Cuanto show con las manos, parece un mimo, varajo!
Gracias por ver
Just a thought. Try using a color spray rather than just plain water.
yes, it's a good way to bring out patterns and do mixed media, but I just want to show how to emboss with this machine :)
Can the sizzix switch handle bulk projects?
I just want to clarify. Do you mean can it handle multiple dies on one cutting plate? It can do as many as you can fit on there in a single layer. Or do you mean can it handle working for hours at a time, cutting a large quantity of images? I wouldn't know that, since I haven't tried.
Would have liked to see an example of the steal die… this is why I’m hesitant to buy this machine. I have the Gemini Jr and so far it does exactly the same thing this Sizzix machine does. I have the WRMK evolution machine and I won’t get rid of it because of these steal rule dies.
If it’s convenient for you I would like to witness it done 🙂👍🏼
She did do a steel wool die example with the llama
@@Pom88pom no actually using the die. Placing it through the machine itself 😐
Ok I see she did show the sand which to place through
@@Pom88pom yea Pom I saw that 🙂
I have some steal rule dies that I love 😍
So I kept my we are memory keepers evolution machine because of that reason.
And before I upgrade to such a machine I need to see that it really works for those dies😂🤣😄
It did work, though. Same sandwiches that you use for the manual Big Shot.
The plates are big. Will there be larger embossing folders too?
I can't speak for Sizzix. However, you can use the smaller (regular Big Shot) plates with your embossing folders
Approximately how much are these selling for?
Depends on the bundle and the site. I've seen $200 to $300
Will this machine take any die cut? The sandwich instructions is easier.
I can't speak for "any" die cuts, as I haven't tried it with every brand of die out there, but I assume it will work well. The only dies I have ever had an issue with, on any machine, are the cheap dies from Aliexpress.
@@LollyPalooza thank you for getting back to me , I pray it will I have die from different brand and I tell ppl that wants a die cutting machine to get the big shot.
So far mine does. It even takes the steel rule dies.
I WAS PROMISED [[BIG SHOT]] AND [[Hyperlink Blocked]] BUT THIS IS FINE!
Edit: This is a joke about the name Big Shot.
It appears you attempted to insert links into your comment, and CZcams blocked them? Anyway, I also have filters set up so that links in comments go to my junk folder.
@@LollyPalooza No, this is a reference to Spamton from Deltarune who is known for double brackets, big shot, and blocked hyperlinks. I thought there would be more people making this joke but I guess not.
@@grayanddevpdx Yeah, it doesn't make sense to us on a crafting channel
