Thank you, great tip, can't wait to try it. I just want to say to those that clicked on Thumbs Down, that when someone takes the time & effort to make a Educational You Tube, then DON"T be rude and click on Thumbs Down. If you don't care for it, simply click off and go on with your life. My Mother always said if you don't have something nice to say then don't say it. I personally appreciate each and every You Tube on crafting, it is an amazing FREE Crafting Tool that I would be lost without them.

Came across this video a couple months ago. Bought new plates. One set of green and one clear. Have followed your instructions, and I am pleased to say, it has worked! And, yes, I am loving my magnetic platform again. Thank you for a useful, easy to follow video.

Hello, I saw your video a while ago, after seeïng ziljen videos about plate warping and solutions. Jennifer McGuire is BRILLIANT, so I did what she did, taped the plates together, but AT ONCE one of my plate broke in 100 pieces (so to speak), I'm probably the only one that can't use the brilliant Jennifer McGuire method :-( and don't even understand why not :-( . Tried warming them with water and tryied and I turned all the plates around and 4 ways each plate (that was the best way I found), UNTIL I TRIED YOUR WAY !!!! OMG so simple and logical, but after 1 week, my plates are still almost flat !!! YOU ARE SO BRILLIANT !!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH !!!!!!

Wish I would’ve seen this about a week ago! I just ruined a brand new set of acrylic plates by rotating them over and over (like other videos suggested). First time I’ve ever used my big shot and I was surprised at how quickly the acrylic plates became warped and unusable! My thinlet dies won’t work because my plates are so warped, only a small section of the dies will cut. I gave up and went back to my Cricut. Glad I saw this. Going to buy new plates and try it using your tips. Thank you 😊

Hi! After trying with hot water, oven with aluminum foil wrapping, I am glad I saw your video. I have been following your advice for almost 6 months and it works just fine. I am in love again with my magnetic platform using the same cutting plate. Thank you so much!

I know this vid is old but I saw Jennifer Mcguire's hubby tell how to fix most old warped plates. You take a large pot and fill it with hot water and bring it to a boil. Also take a med size pot and fill and bring it to a boil. Place 1 of your plates with warp hump on top so it is a mound. With it in a sink, pour med. size pot of boiling water over plate and place the full pot of boiling hot water on my top of plate and let it set for 20 min or longer. Check plate to see if it is flattened. If still warped, repeat process. If plate is to warped, it might not flatten it out enough to reuse but worth the try. Also, use a scrub brush on it to remove all old paper stuck in all those grooves.

OMG! YES! I literally started a new set of plates 2 days ago. 2 DAYS ago and they are warped beyond reason. I've got them under boiling water and bricks right now to straighten them, and just ordered 2 new pairs. So, I will be doing this from now on, thank you for a fabulous tip!

If you have a different platform from what I am using, the tip doesn't apply. Sorry, took a much needed UA-cam break, and trying to go through all the comments.
Love the new tip of investing in a set off new cutting plates and then after each use testing for any "GIVE", then flipping over to make your next cuts. Goood advice.

This is a great tip and I am so ready to try it. I struggle withj my magnetic plate because of warped plates. I have "cooked" t them in the oven to straighten them out but they always seem a little bowed. thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for this tip. I have the big shot plus but I invested in the smaller big shot cutting plates for most of my dies and folders as they're cheaper to replace.

Great Tip Meg! Greatest tip I have heard for saving our cutting plates. Some people think you should cut with your dies facing up, whichI don't agree with to save your cutting plates. Thank your friend and thank you for passing this along to us. This tip should be put into every set of cutting plates Stampin Up sells. Thanks again Meg!

Thank you sooo much for sharing this information. I recently broke my Big Shot Switch machine when a plate edge popped up and broke the inside of the machine. It was warped some, but I never expected it could break the machine. So I am back to my old Big Shot Plus machine. I am following your advice and really appreciating my magnetic plate with new flat plates. Every time I test my plates I think of you going swoosh swoosh sounds while flipping the plates. It amused me and I smile when I think of it. Yes, I am easily amused.
No, I did not get the extended warranty. But I have decided I like my old Big Shot Plus better. I can feel when I start cranking if it needs adjusted. Plus, I can crank faster than the electronic machines. I do have arthritis in my hands, but for now I can still crank it myself. Who knows, maybe by that time they will come up with something new.

I bought an unbranded die cutting machine. The cutting mat is like hard rubber, more flexible and heavier than acrylic/glass plastic. It doesn't warp and it doesn't dull the dies.

Sizzix themselves give good advice too: 1. use the whole surface, i.e. move your pieces each time you use the machine; 2. use both sides of your plates; 3. if it starts to bend, cut into the curve. I store my plates on the Big Shot so I don't loose them and never had a problem. Had my BS for at least 5 years now and no warping. No cracked yet either. Nicole, Canada

thanks for the tip. I've been labeling my plates "A" side and "B" side. I still have a "do not cut plate". I start out with the both on the "A" or "B" sides up, then after cutting, I flip both over to the opposite side. This seems to have helped with them not warping.

I was given a big shot recently. I went to get plate on sale at HL and the had the purple plates. I got one purple so I always remember that it’s my do-not-cut-plate.
Using this technique, can you cut many thinlits at a time? I just got my Big Shot Plus, and the instructions say “do not overload machine,” but they don’t elaborate on what constitutes “overloading.” Thanks for your video! It is helpful!

LOVE the tip. I was going nuts with those dang things. I had one, that I marked on, TOP PLATE, BOTTOM PLATE, and still they warped. (FOLLOWED someones else's tip that didn't work) Now this one seems like the right way to do it! THANK YOU! I Subscribed, THUMBS UP! This one is going onto my Pinterest Site. hope that's ok!

Thank you for sharing this tip. I was almost ready to give up my big shot. My plates were getting bad, I thought it was something I did. Now I will order new ones and follow your tip. Do you know where I can order the thin die adapter. Can only guild the extended version.

This is a great easy tip! I will do this when I get my new flat cutting pads. So, always use the same pad as the bottom plate and if there is give rotate it?

Thanks for this awesome tip. I came across a tip (I don’t remember from who) but it works great when your waiting for your new plates. Run a steel rule die several times with the blades facing the concave side. It will take several times if the plate is pretty bad.

She's cutting with the die facing down, not up - maybe that's why the top plate isn't warping? I don't know whether her method would work if you prefer to cut with the die facing up. (I cut face up with detailed dies so that I can see whether they've cut all the way through, but I cut down with simple dies. Also, she didn't say if her approach works if you use the regular platform some/most of the time, or just if you always use the magnetic platform.

My problem is with the top plate warping, how does this work for that please. It looks as though you are flipping so that the bowed side goes down which is opposite to what one would expect. Is that correct?

So you always have the same plate on the bottom? I have been going through plates lately and it is making me nuts. Thank you for the tip. And please let me know if I alway use the same plate on the bottom.?
Hi Meg, thank you for this i am very good on my mats but the problem i have is because i use them so much they start getting scratches on them that in turn transfer onto my card then it looks like fiber glass patterns all over. Its great for leaves and other things you want veining on but not great for others. Any help please. Thanks Hugs and Luvs xxx Wendy
Meg, I am confused. How does your top plate being fresh eliminate patterns from the bottom plate transferring to your cardstock? The bottom plate is what touches the cardstock. Please explain.
Wendy, have you tried using seal sealing cutting mats in place of your plates? I have heard of many people trying this new tip and I just bought a mat to cut to size of the plates! Look for UA-cams on it!
Hi Melissa. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have tried that but haven't got the sandwich quite right yet. I use half of a magnetic sheet also to avoid for the time being instead of buying a magnetic plate. Now I need to find the other piece of self healing mat to try using 2 at a time. I bought some new plates yesterday so its like starting afresh. I am also going to raid my husband tool cupboard for some sandpaper to see if that takes away the roughness on my old plate and then I can try it. Thank you once again Hugs and Luvs xxx Wendy
Hello! Any way that you could elaborate on your comment? I just ordered a big shot yesterday and would love to start out the proper way. I know what healing mats are, but unsure what you mean by using them with this machine. Do u use them in place on the cutting plate? Only the bottom one or top and bottom? Thanks so much for your time!
@@kimberlyhackbarth5320 Yeah, usually when people use the self-healing cutting mats, they use them instead of the plates. I've seen them used in place of both plates, but I would just use one in place of the cutting plate. So, in her example in the video, just the bottom plate.
@@moosedawg71 but it's not the bottom plate that warps, but the top plate. i've gone through the first set which came with the machine and now the new ones are staring to warp. it's almost as if once it starts, the warping can't be stopped.
I was always flipping and turning and was grand for years but now I have a little dome on the one I cut into so got new plates and I hate them. My dies aren't cutting through, I'm having to run some dies 2-3 times and others I have to use a shim, so disappointed with the new plates. I switched back to the old plates thinking maybe it was the machine and they cut first time so there's obviously a slight difference in thickness 😢

Thanks so much! I've only had My New Bigshot for a few months and My plates are warped! I've never been able to use My magnetic platform yet and of course when I wanted to I couldn't because My plates are warped. I did by an extra set when I bought it, but what a disappointment to have the plates warp so quickly. I watched in detail Stacey from Scrapbooking Made Simple show how to use it and still got warped plates. I am having trouble with the 3D Embossing Folder going through the machine. I don't force it and have tried using a heavy card stock as a shim but I'm still confused on what I should do. Any advice from Anyone who may see My comment, please help!! I don't want to continue to buy new plates every few months! I've got the precision base plate for intricate dies and just ordered a gush pad and a knock knock plate (Names that Stacey calls them. SMS #319 or 320)

What do you mean "if it gives, ...?". So there is a wrong side and a right (or correct) side? You mean if it goes down in the middle? I have two scratched plates. And I bought new ones and those have boyh scratched. They are quite expensive now, unless you only get a single plate. I've seen the double packs for $15 and the single plate for $8 or $9. I would appreciate the help.
June M - Your cutting plate will get scratched regardless, but the tip she shared (to avoid excessive warping) is to always use the same (scratched) plate as your bottom cutting plate and flip it if it warps a little to warp or flatten it back the other direction. Your other plate (the top one) will stay relatively scratch free if you never use it on bottom of the sandwich. Scratches don't interfere with most die cutting but a warped cutting plates make it more of a challenge.

Whether they click thumbs up or thumbs down it still gives her video credit. I totally understand what your saying though.

Wish I would’ve seen this about a week ago! I just ruined a brand new set of acrylic plates by rotating them over and over (like other videos suggested). First time I’ve ever used my big shot and I was surprised at how quickly the acrylic plates became warped and unusable! My thinlet dies won’t work because my plates are so warped, only a small section of the dies will cut. I gave up and went back to my Cricut. Glad I saw this. Going to buy new plates and try it using your tips. Thank you 😊
💕💕
I have been doing this for many years, since I got my used red and white Big Shot on ebay.
It does work great!
Thank you for sharing.
For smaller dies, I use the SIZZIX SIDEKICK 2.5" x 5" cutting plates in my Big Kick...the BEST $3.99 @ Hobby Lobby I have spent yet!
Hey that's a good idea

Hi! After trying with hot water, oven with aluminum foil wrapping, I am glad I saw your video. I have been following your advice for almost 6 months and it works just fine. I am in love again with my magnetic platform using the same cutting plate. Thank you so much!

I know this vid is old but I saw Jennifer Mcguire's hubby tell how to fix most old warped plates. You take a large pot and fill it with hot water and bring it to a boil. Also take a med size pot and fill and bring it to a boil. Place 1 of your plates with warp hump on top so it is a mound. With it in a sink, pour med. size pot of boiling water over plate and place the full pot of boiling hot water on my top of plate and let it set for 20 min or longer. Check plate to see if it is flattened. If still warped, repeat process. If plate is to warped, it might not flatten it out enough to reuse but worth the try. Also, use a scrub brush on it to remove all old paper stuck in all those grooves.

OMG! YES! I literally started a new set of plates 2 days ago. 2 DAYS ago and they are warped beyond reason. I've got them under boiling water and bricks right now to straighten them, and just ordered 2 new pairs. So, I will be doing this from now on, thank you for a fabulous tip!
Hope it works great for you! I am STILL using the same plates from that video. And I use that machine 10-15 times a day, 5 days a week.
@@ITeachStamping I'll be honest, I moved on to the Anna Griffin Empress machine. Iget no warping with her plates!
Thanks for the tip! I bought new plates and will give it a try. I was going through too many of them from warping.
Glad I could help!

Will, it's not my bottom late that warps, it's the top plate that warps, any suggestions?
If you have a different platform from what I am using, the tip doesn't apply. Sorry, took a much needed UA-cam break, and trying to go through all the comments.
Love the new tip of investing in a set off new cutting plates and then after each use testing for any "GIVE", then flipping over to make your next cuts. Goood advice.
I'm from Italy, can I kindly ask what does give mean in this case? I really don't understand... thank you

You're welcome! Hope it helps!
Thank you for this tip. I have the big shot plus but I invested in the smaller big shot cutting plates for most of my dies and folders as they're cheaper to replace.
Use a self healing mat works the same and £3
the big shot plus is wider than the Bigshot??

Great Tip Meg! Greatest tip I have heard for saving our cutting plates. Some people think you should cut with your dies facing up, whichI don't agree with to save your cutting plates. Thank your friend and thank you for passing this along to us. This tip should be put into every set of cutting plates Stampin Up sells. Thanks again Meg!

Thank you sooo much for sharing this information. I recently broke my Big Shot Switch machine when a plate edge popped up and broke the inside of the machine. It was warped some, but I never expected it could break the machine. So I am back to my old Big Shot Plus machine. I am following your advice and really appreciating my magnetic plate with new flat plates. Every time I test my plates I think of you going swoosh swoosh sounds while flipping the plates. It amused me and I smile when I think of it. Yes, I am easily amused.
😍🥰💕
Did you get the extended warranty? My big shot switch broke more than a year after I bought it but I had the extended warranty and they replaced it.
No, I did not get the extended warranty. But I have decided I like my old Big Shot Plus better. I can feel when I start cranking if it needs adjusted. Plus, I can crank faster than the electronic machines. I do have arthritis in my hands, but for now I can still crank it myself. Who knows, maybe by that time they will come up with something new.
Thank you ! Great idea!
Thank you for sharing this tip. 😊 Will be sure to try this out with the new set of plates I just bought.

I bought an unbranded die cutting machine. The cutting mat is like hard rubber, more flexible and heavier than acrylic/glass plastic. It doesn't warp and it doesn't dull the dies.

Sizzix themselves give good advice too: 1. use the whole surface, i.e. move your pieces each time you use the machine; 2. use both sides of your plates; 3. if it starts to bend, cut into the curve. I store my plates on the Big Shot so I don't loose them and never had a problem. Had my BS for at least 5 years now and no warping. No cracked yet either. Nicole, Canada
Hello Nicole, thanks vor the tips....what exactla do you mean by ' cut into the curve ' ? Thanks for answering xox

thanks for the tip. I've been labeling my plates "A" side and "B" side. I still have a "do not cut plate". I start out with the both on the "A" or "B" sides up, then after cutting, I flip both over to the opposite side. This seems to have helped with them not warping.

I was given a big shot recently. I went to get plate on sale at HL and the had the purple plates. I got one purple so I always remember that it’s my do-not-cut-plate.
Perfect!
Using this technique, can you cut many thinlits at a time? I just got my Big Shot Plus, and the instructions say “do not overload machine,” but they don’t elaborate on what constitutes “overloading.” Thanks for your video! It is helpful!
Yes, you sure can. As far as overloading the machine, I believe they meant not stacking your "sandwich" to tall.

This is a great easy tip! I will do this when I get my new flat cutting pads. So, always use the same pad as the bottom plate and if there is give rotate it?

Thanks for this awesome tip. I came across a tip (I don’t remember from who) but it works great when your waiting for your new plates. Run a steel rule die several times with the blades facing the concave side. It will take several times if the plate is pretty bad.
Which side is the concave side?.. The bowed side?
Yes. The side that is curved in like a bowl. Hope that makes sense.

There are more tips now also about unscented dryer sheets when the cut out sticks in the die. Go search UA-cam for it. It works really good.

Good tip!
Great tutorial tx for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
What do I do to prevent the top plate from curving? I’m not sure what you do with the top plate.
She's cutting with the die facing down, not up - maybe that's why the top plate isn't warping? I don't know whether her method would work if you prefer to cut with the die facing up. (I cut face up with detailed dies so that I can see whether they've cut all the way through, but I cut down with simple dies. Also, she didn't say if her approach works if you use the regular platform some/most of the time, or just if you always use the magnetic platform.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing Meg

My problem is with the top plate warping, how does this work for that please. It looks as though you are flipping so that the bowed side goes down which is opposite to what one would expect. Is that correct?
Hi Angela, I hear that a lot from people using the older platform with the tabs. Is that what you are using? And yes, it does seem opposite :)
To flatten your top plate, place it on top of the sandwich with the hump facing upward.

You say what to do with the bottom plate but what about the top plate - should we still alternate that ? Thank you
Your top plate stays your top plate. No need to flip it, just keep it however it winds up on your sandwich.
YOU ARE SO AMAZING !!!!
Just heard about using Magnetic Vent Covers from your local hardware. You just cut them to the size you need. Save about $30.

So you always have the same plate on the bottom? I have been going through plates lately and it is making me nuts. Thank you for the tip. And please let me know if I alway use the same plate on the bottom.?
Same plate on the bottom, same plate on top. I made this video years ago and I am still using the same plates that I used on that video!
Hi Meg, thank you for this i am very good on my mats but the problem i have is because i use them so much they start getting scratches on them that in turn transfer onto my card then it looks like fiber glass patterns all over. Its great for leaves and other things you want veining on but not great for others. Any help please. Thanks Hugs and Luvs xxx Wendy
Hi Wendy! By keeping your top plate as a top plate, you will eliminate that problem :)
Meg, I am confused. How does your top plate being fresh eliminate patterns from the bottom plate transferring to your cardstock? The bottom plate is what touches the cardstock. Please explain.
Hi Melissa me too. I had to buy another set yesterday. xxx
Wendy, have you tried using seal sealing cutting mats in place of your plates? I have heard of many people trying this new tip and I just bought a mat to cut to size of the plates! Look for UA-cams on it!
Hi Melissa. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have tried that but haven't got the sandwich quite right yet. I use half of a magnetic sheet also to avoid for the time being instead of buying a magnetic plate. Now I need to find the other piece of self healing mat to try using 2 at a time. I bought some new plates yesterday so its like starting afresh. I am also going to raid my husband tool cupboard for some sandpaper to see if that takes away the roughness on my old plate and then I can try it. Thank you once again Hugs and Luvs xxx Wendy
OR use a self healing mat instead of the expensive plates. TRY it magic.
Hello! Any way that you could elaborate on your comment? I just ordered a big shot yesterday and would love to start out the proper way. I know what healing mats are, but unsure what you mean by using them with this machine. Do u use them in place on the cutting plate? Only the bottom one or top and bottom? Thanks so much for your time!
@@kimberlyhackbarth5320 Yeah, usually when people use the self-healing cutting mats, they use them instead of the plates. I've seen them used in place of both plates, but I would just use one in place of the cutting plate. So, in her example in the video, just the bottom plate.
@@moosedawg71 hi, Teri! Thank you so much for your reply! I a greatly appreciate it, so excited to play with my new toy! 😊
@@moosedawg71 but it's not the bottom plate that warps, but the top plate. i've gone through the first set which came with the machine and now the new ones are staring to warp. it's almost as if once it starts, the warping can't be stopped.
I was always flipping and turning and was grand for years but now I have a little dome on the one I cut into so got new plates and I hate them. My dies aren't cutting through, I'm having to run some dies 2-3 times and others I have to use a shim, so disappointed with the new plates. I switched back to the old plates thinking maybe it was the machine and they cut first time so there's obviously a slight difference in thickness 😢
Awesome!
R u supposed to do the same thing with the top plate...anyone?
Thanks, it doesn't seem like it should be so confusing to work with these 😳 thanks for the tip. I'm totally addicted to die cutting.

Thanks so much! I've only had My New Bigshot for a few months and My plates are warped! I've never been able to use My magnetic platform yet and of course when I wanted to I couldn't because My plates are warped. I did by an extra set when I bought it, but what a disappointment to have the plates warp so quickly.
I watched in detail Stacey from Scrapbooking Made Simple show how to use it and still got warped plates. I am having trouble with the 3D Embossing Folder going through the machine. I don't force it and have tried using a heavy card stock as a shim but I'm still confused on what I should do. Any advice from Anyone who may see My comment, please help!! I don't want to continue to buy new plates every few months! I've got the precision base plate for intricate dies and just ordered a gush pad and a knock knock plate

Will this method work on the bigshot+ cutting pads? Great video!
Hi June! Yes, you sure can, that is what I am using in the video :)
Thank you
Thanks so much
Thanks for letting us know!
Great tip - if it gives flip!
What do you mean "if it gives, ...?". So there is a wrong side and a right (or correct) side?
You mean if it goes down in the middle? I have two scratched plates. And I bought new ones and those have boyh scratched. They are quite expensive now, unless you only get a single plate. I've seen the double packs for $15 and the single plate for $8 or $9.
I would appreciate the help.
Hi June, yes, if it presses down when you push on it, flip your bottom plate :)
June M - Your cutting plate will get scratched regardless, but the tip she shared (to avoid excessive warping) is to always use the same (scratched) plate as your bottom cutting plate and flip it if it warps a little to warp or flatten it back the other direction. Your other plate (the top one) will stay relatively scratch free if you never use it on bottom of the sandwich. Scratches don't interfere with most die cutting but a warped cutting plates make it more of a challenge.
I had trouble cutting my gold foil paper and having it get impressions from the cutting plate. Any hints on using the foil papers?
Place a thin sheet of printer paper on top of your gold foil :)
@@ITeachStamping Thank you
thank you for this tip. I will be ordering new plates...ya
do you use 1 or 2 new plates and does the new one goes on top or under, cant find out in the movie, sorry
For the best results, I recommend starting with two new plates.
