Our take on the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit

The Big Shot Plus is Sizzix's wide-format manual die-cutting and embossing machine, sold here as a starter kit with a platform and cutting pads. Its 9-inch opening takes paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and thin leather, so it handles larger dies and longer embossing folders than the standard Big Shot. It is a hand-cranked machine with no power cord, which makes it simple and quiet but slower than electronic cutters. Crafters who cut by hand every week tend to rate it highly for clean cuts and durability; people who want digital precision or one-pass bulk cutting should look at electronic machines instead.

Questions and answers

What is included in the starter kit?
The kit pairs the Big Shot Plus machine with the cutting platform and pads you need to start. Dies and embossing folders are separate.
What materials can it cut?
It handles paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and thin leather. Very thick leather or dense material may need extra passes or may not cut cleanly.
How is it different from the standard Big Shot?
The Plus has a wider 9-inch opening, so it takes larger dies and longer embossing folders. The standard Big Shot is smaller and easier to store.
Does it need electricity?
No. It is hand-cranked, so it works anywhere and runs quietly.
Do I need to buy dies separately?
Yes. The machine cuts Sizzix-format dies, which are sold on their own, and cutting pads wear out and need replacing.
Is it good for fabric and leather?
It cuts fabric and thin leather well for small shapes. Thick leather is better handled by a heavier press or a knife.
Where is the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit cheapest?
At Sizzix.com, for $235.19, 22% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit?
6 stores we checked sell it, including eBay, GettyCrafts, Sizzix.com, CraftDirect.com, Walmart.
