They refunded my money and I bought a Cuttlebug (which was cheaper!!). It's great - so easy to use and feels much steadier because it clings by suction to the worktable when it is open. The dies and embossing folders are also much cheaper than those for the wizard and you can use most other makes of dies as well.

The cuttlebug embossing folders are just amazing and brass stencils emboss a treat too. If you can get to a Craft Central outlet they have all the die cutting machines available for demonstration on request.

Am finding it difficult to find dies for it. I have seen dies I'd like to try but they are for the wizard & cuttlebug, does anyone know if they would work on the sizzix? I guess I could contact the company direct and see if they have updated the original selection (this was a TSV). Any suggestions please/ EuniceX

I dont think there's any way that you can get the embossed effect from the spellbinders die though.

It is so easy to use and nice and compact to store. The dies and embossing folders are lovely and very reasonably priced. I use it such a lot and wouldn't be without it. I have tried the Wizard and found it to be much heavier and more cumbersome and nowhere near as easy to use. Some of the dies are lovely though, but so expensive. Hope you get what you want. Regards.

However, although I like the wizard, it is sometimes hard work on the arms, and the plates shoot out the other end sometimes. I have now bought a big shot and I find that very easy. Love Nannywendy xxx Yes I agree with you Wendy, the plates really do shoot out the end which I really do not like. Last Edited By: Tina 24/04/2008 21:34:34. Edited 1 times.

Love the dies, especially using mirror card ,and although the plates do shoot out quick and hard, the results are spectacular. I have also got a ZipeMate which I purchased just prior to it being discontinued. Thank goodness I was searching through craft forums and discovered this quickly, as I ended up sending to America to purchase a supply of mats etc before they were all gone. I tend to use this with the sizzix dies mostly,and the cuttlebug embossing folders, as they rolling action is quite easy on my arms. I love having the two machines to alternate between in my crafting sessions.
