help Sizzix Big Shot Plus FAQ

What is the difference between the Sizzix Big Shot and the Big Shot Plus?

The Sizzix Big Shot Plus features a significantly wider roller design compared to the standard Big Shot, allowing users to work with larger die sizes. This larger format capability makes it ideal for creating detailed paper projects on a grander scale. It remains a robust, manual crafting tool but offers much more real estate for big scrapbooking layouts.

Can the Sizzix Big Shot Plus cut through thick materials like leather or chipboard?

Yes, the Sizzix Big Shot Plus uses interchangeable cutting dies and heavy-duty steel rollers that can cut through thick chipboard, fabric, and thin craft leather. Its manual crank mechanism provides immense pressure for precise cuts and embossed designs. You may need to build a proper "sandwich" of cutting pads depending on the material thickness.

Does the Sizzix Big Shot Plus work with competitors' dies like Spellbinders?

Yes, the Sizzix Big Shot Plus is compatible with most competitor dies, including Spellbinders, Cuttlebug, and thin metal wafer dies. Because it uses a manual pass-through system, you simply adjust the plastic spacer pads to accommodate different die thicknesses. This makes it an incredibly versatile tool for mixed-media artists.

What is the maximum die size for the Sizzix Big Shot Plus?

The Sizzix Big Shot Plus can accommodate dies up to 8.5 inches wide, which is significantly larger than the standard 6-inch Big Shot. This allows users to work with substantial die sizes and full-page embossing folders. It is the preferred choice for paper crafters who need larger format capabilities.
