thank you! thats been a godsend for a charity project that I needed the SVG for!!
Thanks for the video!
Thank you such a great video i can convert all my brother for cricut
Thank you! I’ve had the same issues with my cm350 and am glad to see that the 125e performs better. Your video presented just the comparison of functionality in cutting and foiling that I was looking for. The 1252 may be slower but the final product is better. Thanks again.
Thank You so much for this easy-to-follow and understand tutorial...I've just wasted hours trying to find a way to convert and you've just saved me. I'm so grateful :)
If you want to use small places in the Go Power and Emboss....Use Sizzix and/or Spellbinder Universal plates. I have the GP&E, the Sizzix Switch Plus and did have the Big Gemini (which I found problematic because of all the different sandwiches and shims and such I'd have to use for a simple task, so I gave it away). The Go Power and Emboss is my quietest machine. My only wish is that it had a flat top so I could prep and set plates and projects. The Sizzix Switch Plus is okay but very wide at almost 15" compared with the GP&E at 13.5". Thanks for the comparison, that was terrific. If I had access to it (I'm in Australia) I'd buy the Teresa Collins machine, that intrigues me.
I bought the Gemini about 3 months ago. I hate it. So I just got the power go emboss. I haven’t used it yet but I think it will be awesome
It beautiful card thank you for sharing
I got confused can I contact you directly somehow
Thank you for sharing, I am new to all this, so this has been a help.
beautiful work!
Hi the Couture Creations sandwich is supposed to be A plate (white) then C plate Cardstock & die facing down then B plate….it’s a GREAT machine
Great explanation. You made everything so clear and uncomplicated.
Would gemini metal plates work on cut n boss machine
Hi, the Gemini plates are not thick enough. But you can use the metal ones with the cut n boss plates for sharper cuts.
HI there, thank you for the video. Any reason why it doesn't work when I highlight both and try to choose fit to path? I have version 2.6.1 Thank you
I have the same problem and can't find out why...anywhere!
Thank you for sharing your videos ❤️
After having all 3 for a while..which would you purchase again if only one of them?
I would buy the cut n boss. The plates last longer.
This is so helpful because I wondering how I would do that.
I will give your way a try.
Seems like you should be using metal plate for all the die cutting
Hi, I do.
Great review thanks. Would also like to point out that neither the Gemini or Express cut Big Z Dies the mouths are not deep enough. I sympathise with people that have a lot of these dies and cannot use them, only with the Cut n Boss. You have made up my mind to which one I need. Thank you.
Your welcome!!! Thanks for the comment!
Can the empress use the sizzix bigz dies?
No, it cannot
@@byJacqueline2u thank you
That is loud! I guess doing crafts at night is a no no!
Thank you for info and thorough demonstration.-Excellent.
it looks like this is not the best machine for cutting/ I do like your idea of using a lazy Susan to access the machine front and back very easily.
So enjoyed this video as the Tattered Lace video was harder to follow. This shows how the finished card works and can be decorated. Thank you.
Please allow me to ask a question, why do you cut into plates like the metal plates and the magnetic ones? I just was given a used Gemini Jr, and am tossing the magnet plate cuz it is such a mess. What I did was take my Cuttlebug magnetic put the metal shim on it, dies blades up then paper, with 1 cutting plate on both outer sides! One time through and works perfect 99% of the time.....love all you are showing so please keep put the great work! Blessings!
The magnetic mat are great for a few weeks once you buy it if you do not use it everyday. If not, it warps the die. On any other machine I use it to keep the dies in place. With the magnetic mat under the die until it becomes warped and useless. I use the metal plate as extra shim sometimes for some dies. It all depends on the dies. All the machines are good machines for their specific dies, for example the Gemini machines are great for the Crafters Companion dies, the Empress is great for the Ana Griffin line of dies. However, you can use all the machines for any die as long as you have the correct "thickness" on the plate combination. None of these companies say the truth when they claim that their machine will cut all dies with only the plates available for the machines. You will always have to use a shim with some dies.
Hello You forget a very importend sheet to cut the dies. You have also to use the magnetic rubber sheet. Then it works much better. Gr. Riet from Hollans
Thank you for the comment! My machine didn't come with a magnetic sheet, only a rubber sheet. You are correct about not using the rubber mat, but if you watch my comparison video you will see that I did. I believe that this machine is a combination of the Empress, Cut N Boss and the Gemini. It is the machine sitting on my desk for the last couple of weeks.
in your opinion, which has the best cutting pressure? I already own the Teresa Collins. Do you think it's worth an upgrade? I'm not the type who needs latest and greatest, just looking for an excellent machine.
Hi! I think that the Cut N Boss is an excellent machine. No need to upgrade at all, except that it is difficult to find the plates once you need to replace them. The Couture Creations would be my choice for a second machine. It was offered here in the US by HSN and I think because they didn't give it any attention during the Craft days, they had it on clearance and it is showing sold out. Not sure if they will be bringing it back. So I Don't know where else in the US I'll be able to purchase replacement plates.
@@byJacqueline2u Thank you for the suggestion and review. I look forward to more videos from you. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your review and unboxing of GoPower and Emboss. Seems to be on sale today with Createandcraft.
I have ordered it today along with the go press
Your welcome!!! It has become my go to
Thanks for this, I'm looking at getting an electronic cutter in a few months. 'Im pretty sure I'll get the gopower, but it was great to see a comparison.
Brilliant, I'm also new to My craft studio, your so helpful and easy to follow, Thank you ❤
You are so welcome!
Excellent tutorial...thank you so much.... please keep them coming as Im new to My Craft Studio but I've learnt so much already from this...
Thank you this was most helpful just need to decide my needs and what i want from the machines
Your welcome, I'm glad you liked it!!!
Thanks for sharing. My die machine just died after over 6years use hobby not business and I'm trying to decide what to buy to replace you have helped me decide
Su Bigland I am so glad it helped you out!!! Which one did you decide on?
Gemini A4 it's not as noisy and bulky as the Ebosser, I asked my crafting friends what they had to help me decide, it had to be electric as my hands can't do the manual sort
@@subigland5600 If you haven't bought it yet, check out the video I made comparing all of them to the Couture Creations GoPower and Emboss. It's like the Gemini, Empress and Ebosser (Cut n Boss) had a baby. GoPower and Emboss vs Cut 'n' Boss vs Empress vs Gemeni
Thank you for sharing this I’ve spent what amounts to hundreds of pounds on USBs with charisma and even when I print actual size as they tell you to do . I line up to the corner add the files and it doesn’t fit the scanned in charisma .maybe now I can actually use those very expensive Usb x
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Great review! Thanks for sharing 💕
Your welcome!!!
Thanks for figuring that out and sharing! I can’t wait to make one...
Trouble with you second conversation using the clipping tool, is you literally have to save one shape at a time as far as I can tell. I have a more complex design in canvas workspace and used the clipping tool to import all of my shapes for the same colour of card, but I can't separate those shapes in design space to be able to line them up to see my final design before cutting. Design space is a dreadfully poor and highly limited software. But thanks for showing the basics. I would have preferred you demonstrated multiple cutting shapes.
Thank you for the comment!!! Yes, Design Space is more limited than Canvas Workspace, they both have their uses. It would be really nice if they gave us the same options as the Scan n cut. I am sure their is some software somewhere that can do the multiple shapes conversion, but I am not tying to spend any more cash at this time. I am going to continue trying to figure it out and will let you know if I do. :)
Have you tried converting the design to svg in inkscape?
With Silhouette - how do you find the files? Thanks
After you convert them to SVG files? If you remember where you saved it, log in to Silhouette studio, click on file, click on open, find where the files was saved, click on the file to select then click on ok. It should open up for you without a problem. :)
@@byJacqueline2u thank you!!
@@shereentimmerman4164 Your welcome!!!
Thank you SO SO SO much for your impartial, complete, and very informative video! I have been looking at all 3 of these machines, and this is the best comparison video I have seen. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! As for the cutting of the dies, Sara Davies did an instructional video describing how to get the best cut from the machines. It has to do with the number of cutting points across the width of the die. The more cutting points, the lower the overall pressure will be. It is worth the 10 min. to watch her video. ua-cam.com/video/m1exEbKyFCA/v-deo.html
Elizabeth Britt thank you for the comment!!! Anything I can do to help!!!
Do you know the difference between the scan n cut and the design n cut? I brought the design n cut from Tuesday Morning but haven’t used it as of yet. TFS!👍🏽
Kimberly Saunders Hi! The Design n cut does not scan at all.
thanks. A very useful review
Thanks so much for this comparison! FOil??? WOW! I learned how to better use my cutting machines!!! 😍
Thank you for you tutorial. I bought the right machine. The Gemini!
this video is so informative, I found really helpful information. I have my own channel here so I know the amount of time it takes to make videos like this, setting it up, working out what you want to feature and the points you want to say and demo, so I really appreciate the effort Your style is also lovely and relaxed so it makes it comfortable to listen too. The only thing I would say, and nothing to do with the video, but when i did a video on a die cutting machine and mentioned that Sue Wilson was using another set of plates in the machine, I didn't even demo it ! I got a very nice message from spellbinders (and I imagine this may apply with other companies too) to say if you use other companies plates or in my videos case it was using the Grand Calibur plates in the Platinum so same company even, that the warranty is voided. I think personally I would take the risk, but obviously it is something you might need to mention to your viewers just so they can make that choice themselves. Big hugs xxx
ps I dont know if it works on the electronic machines like these but if you put your dies through slightly off square you should find the front and back will cut better the first time and it helps with warping too. :-)
Thank you for the advise. I will do that for sure!!! Saw your channel, loved it. Will be definitely subscribing.
Both of you ladies are helpful & great! Thank you both!!! Subscribing to you, both!!! 🙂🙂
I have a Teresa Collins Cut-n-Boss that I love :)
It's a very good machine!!!
Thank you for demoing the 3 machines as I am needing an electric die machine, my ??? is if needing to replace mats for the Empress are they difficult as I searched Amazon & HSN with no luck as I found easily as the Gemini? That Is my concern.
From what I have seen, HSN usually has them available on the monthly craft days.
