Review: Big PRO - Brilliant machine, incredibly heavy and it is quite a size compared to the other Sizzix cutting machines. But, as with everything you get what you pay for and this is what is says, a pro machine, built for the professional. The quality of the build reflects this in every way. There is a small space for storage beneath the tray where you could easily store thinlits, or paper, for example. The tray and cutting pads move through the machine as you turn the handle. A slight push until it 'catches' is necessary sometimes, but it does glide through easily. I have Fibromyalgia and Arthritis and I can use it without any problem. As the machine is so solid and heavy, it does not move on the table when you're working which is a big bonus for me. I have a different machine made by a different manufacturer, it folds when not in use, and you open it out to use and it moves all the time when I'm using it. This became very frustrating for me because I have problems with arthritis and could not hold it steady and that was when I decided to invest in the Sizzix Big Shot PRO. There is no such problem with th Sizzix Big Shot PRO. This machine stays put, no matter what you are cutting. It will cut many different materials, paper, card, leather, tin (as in drinks cans), foam, and felt and cotton materials. I absolutely love it. It did take me a little while to get used to it, working out which combination of plate and shim to use for different dies, but what an amazing machine offering so many possibilities. Buy it if you're serious about cutting and crafting, anything from making greeting cards, to hand made quilting, bunting, toys and more. It will take every die that Sizzix has made no problem. It will save you so much time cutting. Since buying this I also bought a Sizzix Big Shot to have next to me on another desk. I put smaller items through it as needed. Why? Well, just because it suits my working pattern and is handy for those small finicky bits and pieces I need to do quickly. I have also bought some quilting dies for the Big Shot Pro and cannot wait to get stuck in and hand cut cloth for quilts, something I would never have dreamed of doing before. Safe to say the Big Shot Pro will open up a whole new world of inspiration and creativity for you. I have no hesitation in recommending it. All of Sizzix products are simply the best on the market in my opinion.
Review: A joy to use. - For me this is the best of all die cutting machines. It will cut deep dies and thin ones with a gliding smoothness which makes it a joy to use. I run craft groups and help with local charities and I cut large number of shapes each week, and I love that it will cut fabric, felt, plastic sheets, wood veneers, foil, thin cork sheets .P.V.A., Mylar, cardboard and multiple layers of paper at once. I make several fabric banners each year using various alphabets, which is so quick and easy. After a trip to the arts and crafts recycle centre I am busy finding new ways of using both dies and materials, the possibilities are endless.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the weight ?**
A: We used our bathroom scales to weigh the machine.  The machine by itself weighs 26 lbs.  The tray and platforms needed for the machine weigh an additional 10.6 lbs.

**Q: What is included?**
A: The machine I purchased came with the standard sliding tray,1 standard cutting pad, 1 premium crease pad, 1 standard adapter pad, 2 mylar shims, and 1 die pick. As a separate order I also purchased the Accessory set with a Solo Platform, Shim and Wafer Thin Die Adapter so I could cut with my Framelits and thin dies.

**Q: How many sheets of paper can this cut through simultaneously?**
A: It depends on the thickness of the paper that you are cutting, I can cut about 3 sheets of 100lb cardstock at one time, this machine is more about the amount of real estate you can cut rather than the quantity. Hope this helps!

**Q: Can the big shot pro cut wood die cut embellishments?**
A: No!  The cutting mechanism is by compressing the die cut down into the paper or fabric being cut.  These die cuts are not made to withstand wood.  And, the dies are a pricey investment.  They would be ruined quickly as the wood dulls the edges of the dies.
