Crafters Companion Gemini Die Cutting And Embossing Machine & Accessories

Love the machine but not the plastic shim. Goes out of shape after a few uses.Also the magnetic plate is dangerous I have sliced my finger on the edge of it

I bought this product for my wife, as her previous manual die cutting machine had broken. She is absolutely over the moon with it. She says that it is far better than her old machine, & very rarely has to put it through twice. My wife says that she can be sorting out the next stage of her card making, or preparing the next die etc. She finds that it's not really noisy, and is surprised at how many dies & different thicknesses of card can be put through at the same time. And no more have to put extra paper or a shim in the centre to get the card completely cut through.

Love this embossing machine, its a little irritating getting to know which plate to use so I have had to photocopy the instructions to have at hand on my craft table, However!!!! the quality is there it cuts every time and I love the magnetic plate ensuring all the dies stay put.

The machine is fine but I have already had to buy a new set of cutting boards as they bow badly and cannot get them in the machine.

I loved the machine at first but... the first time it stuck in the middle of embossing I had to send the whole thing in a new box back to Northumberland. Because the 'sandwich was sticking out of its mouth I had to ask the local pound shop for a disused box that was square shaped to accommodate the machine. I telephoned the helpline and it was collected promptly and returned after about a month. Now it has done it again! It doesn't seem to like embossing sandwiches. It went CRUNCH

An absolute must... so ACCURATE and easy to use.. it has a significant weight to the body.... and runs like a dream.You'll get through the plates every year but considering the complexity of a cricut machine, this is a must for every serious crafter.

I have been interested in purchasing this for some time but needed to save up. Its was definitely worth the wait and money spent.

Takes all the does I have and cuts with even pressure
