I have access to an Ellison dye cutter at school? Am I able to use this with an Ellison dye cut machine?

If you can make the right sandwich, you should be able to; the old Ellison machines are basically like the Big Shot machines. However, your school probably only has two clear platforms that you sandwich your die between, so you'll have to purchase a platform to be able to cut these thin dies.

Absolutely, you can easily use either. I think they only have 2 machines. I believe the cutting area is just smaller on the one.

Yes it is. It can print a chain link for example. However, you must have a good grasp of CAD programs to design your stuff and output them to be used for the Makerbot.

You may want to check with the manufacturer. I am unable to answer your question. Our industrial tech teachers are currently off, mid winter break and the machine is located in one of our outlying schools. Sorry.

You should be able to with no problems. I can't imagine that the sewing machine uses more than 500w. Usually things like that only use 50-100 watts, but you'd have to look either on the plug/cord that came with the sewing machine or on the sewing machine right where the plug connects to it. It will say something like "input: 110v/___watts". As long as the watts isn't listed over 500 (which it wont be) you should be good. I looked on the Brother website for you and it just said that it required 110v electricity (which we already know). You'll be fine with this...

As far as I know, you cannot create your own, but there are several cartridges that will print and cut any number of items. The hardest thing for me was finding the color and black cartridges for this machine; they are quite expensive IF you can find them.I hope this info will help.

Yes, you certainly can. You can purchase them at http://www.amazon.com/Arrow-ARR-9801DL3-1-Custom-Insert/dp/B00947MWRE/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2RP4VCLOBWX64 . Once purchased, simply let us know which sewing machine you have, so the insert can be cut accordingly.

I have a brother LS-2125 and BL 137A2- it's also an embroidery machine. So far works great on both machines. Planning to try it on my singer CXL next week.

As neat as i can tell, the cutter needs their proprietary software to work. I am able to port my work in from Correll draw but it doesn't come out exactly accurate from there.

I don't se why not as you can punch a stack of around 20 sheets of regular paper at once. I would suppose it would depend on how heavy and how laminated as I don't know what keeps the dyes for punching the holes sharp. I can say I would have given this machine more stars if I could as it is so easy to use! Punching the holes is just merely pressing an on off button, similar to turning on and off any other appliance.

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...

There are a lot available. Prices vary from reasonable to not quite so reasonable. Key is that you can buy from different sources. Ellison dies,work as well is sizzix.

Yes, you can cut it to fit. However, it wont be easy and it wont come out with a perfect edge, but no one will see it once the sheets go on. I think, so, Ive read, that you can cut nice clean edges on foam with an electric knife. You may want to give it a try! I would measure and mark an exact chalk line to use as a guide for cutting. Good Luck!

Yes it will work with your machine as long as you have a way of getting designs from your computer to your machine.

I don't think so. I have the Tim Holtz die cutting machine. I also have a hand crank machine that cannot handle the big dies. I hope this helps.

Hi Reba, I cut a piece of Kleenex and it cut perfectly. Send a sample to Amazon and have them forward it to me. I will be happy to try it for you and let you know how it cuts on your material. Gene Rubin
