Can Sizzix embossing folders be used in the Cuttlebug?

Yes, as long as they are the same size. Some folders are bigger. Just make sure that the size is correct for your machine and you will be good to go!

No, it doesn't because it is to wide to fit in the width of the mouth of the Sizzix boutique unfortunately. It is a beautiful embossing folder.

Well, I have used Sissix and Spellbinders. Sometimes you doi need to add some extra shims but it does work. I really does make this easy. The large plate sizes are good because you can use several sizes of dies and embossing folders. You can also place several dies at one (depending on their sizes). I really like mine. -You can watch videos on YouTube for use ideas.

Since I already own a Cuttlebug, I just used my Cuttlebug A, B, & C plates and they work just fine if you use the bottom plate that comes with the Big Shot Pro. You can find Cuttlebug plates very reasonably priced at many craft stores. I don't have any large dies so I don't need really big plates. Basically, the Big Shot Pro can use most any of the major machines' plates. I really love my BSP and wish I'd bought it sooner! It's the only machine that works with the custom die I had made.

Yes, they do work but you can only use the base and one B plate just like the Big shot. They are thicker than the regular embossing folders and a hard plastic. should lightly mist the paper with water before embossing.

Yes. You can use it in the embosser for sure; from bottom to top: platform D, platform C, cutting die, material, platform A. For the Grand Calibur the sandwich is: platform C, cutting die, material, and then use a Sizzix cutting plat on top of that. The only thing is, is that these decorative strips dies are 12 inches long and the platforms on either of the machines is not so you may have to run it through twice; just move it over to cut the rest of the die the second time through. Hope this helps!

Probably, but check you warranty about using dies made by a different mfg. Don't force the die if it doesn't perform like a cuttlebug die.

The Vagabond is the electric version of the Cuttlebug and other cutters and emboss ears. It's not like the circuit or silhouette. There are tons of die cuts and embossing folders that can be used with the cutting/embossing machines. Look at Spleebinders web site, Provo and Sizzex to get an idea of what is available. It's a totally different realm than the cricut type machines. Hope this helpe

These are actually plastic folders that you place the cardstock or paper or whatever you want to emboss into and run it through an embossing machine like a Cuttlebug or Sizzix. HOWEVER....I think you could try placing what you want to emboss on the one side of the folder and use a stylus or embossing tool to push into the indentations to create an embossed look....NOPE....sorry...I just tried it and it DIDN'T work so well because I couldn't see where the design was to know where to push the stylus. You definitely need to use an embossing machine.

The Genius Magnetic Platform is 6" wide and fits in the Cuttlebug. The Sizzix platform is 6-1/8" wide, making it too wide to pass through the Cuttlebug.

I am sorry I don't know. I use a Cricut, and it has its own type of cutter. There are just standard #2 X-Acto blades. If Cuttlebug uses the #2, then it would probably work.

I own a cuttlebug and use the sizzix dies regularly. This movers and shapers L die works great and cut easily through cardstock.

No, eclips has their own program. You can however use SVG files to cut. I recommend against this machine. Mine only lasted 18 months and then didn't work properly. I called Sizzix and they basically told me that the machine was out of warranty and I just should buy another one... Yeah right! I spent close to $300 on this now paper weight. Get a Cameo instead.

I have a cuttlebug machine. I use 2 B plates. It works beautifully. What I like is you can cut out multiple dies at one time.

The Framlets have to be used with either the Hot Shot, or Cuttlebug, or Sizzix. The machines will cut the shape your using. Hope this helps you. Thank, sue

NO! The Cuttlebug is an embosser, and the embossment cards are approximately 4x6". The AccQuilt GO! uses fabric cutting dies that are much larger, and are usually used for quilts. Claire

When you are in Windows Explorer looking at your list of embroidery designs purchased, you will see a generic icon next to the file. This is not helpful. The Thumbnailer gives you a thumbnail picture of the design rather than a generic icon. This makes it very easy to quickly look through your designs to find what you need. Beware, however, the colors shown in the thumbnail can be bizarre and not representative of the actual colors of the design thus making it hard to discern what it is a picture of. I don't know what Essentials has; perhaps the thumbnailer is included. Work with what you for a while. If it gets irritating that all you see in Windows Explorer is a generic icon then purchase the thumbnailer. It does not do anything other than render a design. It is not software that you open; it just works once you install it. I like it except for the bizarre colors. It seems to be all my designs from Embroidery Library web site are shown with the wrong colors. (Simplicity SE3 machine and PC with Windows 8.1)
