If you want to use 12" embossing folders with the big shot, what extra do you need beside the extended cutting pad?

I agree with Deborah. You need the 12 " platform and cutting plates. I use layers of craft foam for more details on the embossed results

With an 11" pad, or a good pair of scissors to trim a standard size, legal pad to fit in the insert!

Yes, if you look at my review I list all of the embossing folder brands that I've successfully used with it and how many shims that you need to accommodate those brands.

I bought them to use with my embosser and they worked better than the one's that originally came with it! The only drawback is that you have to cut out the center 6 disks in order be able to reach them to emboss . . . but that is simple enough.

You will need the dies for you caliber and you will need a shell trimmer. I would get some extra she'll holders so you don't have to switch from primer to press.

Big shot come with the multi purpose platform and the machine, that's it. The one with the kit has that and Also includes 1 Bigz Die, 2 Sizzlits Dies, 1 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, a Framelits set, 10 solid yardstick samples and an instruction booklet. They never specify which dies, I assume its what the have the most of on hand.

I'm pretty sure you can make it as large as your machine and your cutting mat will allow. On my smaller Cricut personal the largest setting is 5.5 inches, but on my new Cricut explore I can cut things as wide as big as the mat I'm using, the largest being 12"x24". The cartridge itself doesn't limit the size, just depends on your machine and cutting mat.

Sorry, but I miss spoke earlier. It uses 3" paper and you can get it at klingspor. I get mine there and they have a good selection. Use an original one so you can cut it at the correct lenght.

Yes it will, inbetween the cutting pads, using both tabs with the multipurpose platform, in the BigShot machine.

The letter size varies from half an inch to an inch and yes I use it in my Big Shot. I can't speak for cutting the felt. I would believe it could though.

Hi. I had to go try and see if I could use an embossing folder with the magnetic platform, I hadn't tried it before. No. I wasn't able to use it. The magnetic platform is just enough thicker (as the basic multi platform is without any of the sheets down). When I added ONE clear cutting plate it makes it thicker than the normal platform, but not thick enough to just use with one ...and adding the embossing folder & second cutting plate makes it too thick to run through. I hope this answers your question. (It will work with the cutting embossing dies though, pretty sure.) :)

Yes it will come with the machine plus the plates to run die cuts and embossing folders thru. It will not come with the the embossing folders nor dies you must get those seperate.

It should, although I don't personally have one, but I've never had any issues with my other machines. Like with any embossing folder, you may have to adjust the thickness with different plates.

The guides are 12.25 inches apart, so no. To cut anything wider, you have to double it over, creasing your paper.

Yes, stack (bottom up) Big Shot Multipurpose Platform, one piece 65# cardstock to shim Embossing folder of choice with media inside and the Big Shot cutting Plate. Keep the sandwich flat and straight and run thru your Big Shot.

Depends on the size die you have -- the widest die I could use was 6 inches. For example a 6 inch star. If you want to invest get the larger Big Shot that you can use 8.5 wide card or paper!

Arm lengths and pivot points are set up to achieve 40%, 50% or 60% reduction in size from pattern to carving. I don't know of any way to enlarge the carving with this configuration.
