Can I use this to make regular linocuts and woodblock prints, with blocks I've carved myself? Or does it only work with the specially made dies?

Yes, absolutely, but ONLY if the lino material is not mounted on the standard wood block or if you cut down the block; you will probably need to use the sold-separately adapter plates to find the right height and pressure for unmounted blocks. You also cannot use with old wooden/copper/lead mounted letterpress blocks, unless you carefully remove them from the wood or cut down the height of the block. Also will also not accept the large wooden Accuquilt dies.

This is a loading die set... It works with all the .451" (45 ACP weighted bullets)It has nothing to do with bullet molds.

I have not tried to cut felt or fabric using this die, but I since it is a sizzlet, I don't think it will work well with anything other than paper or cardstock. My understanding is only the Sizzix Bigz dies and the original dies are capable of cutting fabric.

Not sure never tried it BUT FYI- I've used it cards and calligraphy- great tool for small projects. I'm surprised that some customers rated this below standard. I like it and use all the time!

From what I've seen, most all dies are 'standard thread' and will work in many other presses of different manufacturers. In this case, I couldn't tell you; all of my press equipment is Lee.

Faith- I use my other embossing folders in the Sizzix Big Shot all the time. You can also use other cutting dies. Sandra

I believe you should be able to use the actual cartridge in the mini cricut, they are supposed to be all compatible. Don't know if it would work through the craftroom, sorry.

I don't think so? I have a cuttlebug but have used a big shot, and it seems as long as you're using the right plates you should be good. It's just a normal metal die

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!

I purchased this item to use for crafting. I make crayons to sell at craft shows and on Etsy. I love the mold however it doesn't work well with crayon. If you are going to use it for anything other than ice it may not work for you.

We used this to seal up a puzzle that we framed and it worked very well. Not sure how it will work with blocks, but I would suggest you give it a try. I don't see how it could hurt anything- if anything- it would just help to to seal up your blocks even more.

Yes, you can use different die designs. I have three die which one is for my library, one for my desk, and one which is generic in nature. They all work quite well. Though, as the instructions indicate, it does take just a little practice to get the designs to emboss just the way you wish. Enjoy.

Yes. You can use this cutter to create puzzles. You'll have to either find and purchase a puzzle file or have patience and create your own. It will cut through chipboard (light weight) with a few passes without issue.

It's primary use is for embossing or cutting materials using purchased dies. It's possible to ink an embossing folder and thereafter print and emboss the image at the same time. Check out YouTube or do an internet search for how this machine is used in order to determine if you can use in the way you intend. There are videos on YouTube showing letterpress plates used with this machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8jGyFgAe0o

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

I am not familiar with framelits. I use Spellbinders and Memory Box dies and it is PERFECT that both of them. Great way to organize.

No just run it through. Be sure to put the little square provided inside the open space. (I think it may hold the paper steady). These dies are a dream to use. Enjoy!
