FAQs
What materials can this machine cut and emboss?
It is suitable for paper, cardstock, thin fabric, foil, and foam rubber. It is not designed for very thick materials like chipboard or wood.
What is the maximum width of material the machine can accept?
The machine has a feeding slot with a width of 22.5cm, accommodating materials up to this size.
How do I use the different cutting plates?
Typically, you use two of the 3mm thick plates for cutting die, sandwiching your material and die between them. For embossing, you use the embossing pad (2.5mm) along with one of the cutting plates.
Do I need to buy cutting dies separately?
This starter kit includes a set of 5 circle metal cutting dies and one 'Happy Birthday' design die, so you can start crafting immediately. Additional dies can be purchased separately.
Can I use embossing folders with this machine?
Yes, the machine is designed to work with embossing folders to add raised or recessed designs to your paper crafts.
How do I clean the machine?
Wipe the exterior and rollers with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What should I do if the machine feels stiff to turn?
Ensure your plate combination is correct and that the die or embossing folder is not too thick for the machine's capacity. Make sure the material is centered and fed smoothly into the slot. Do not force the handle.
Troubleshooting
Machine is difficult to turn or jams.
Check that the die and material are properly aligned on the cutting plate. Ensure you are using the correct combination of cutting plates and the embossing pad (if applicable). Do not overload the machine with too many layers. Ensure the feeding slot is clear of debris.
Cuts are not clean or complete.
Verify you are using the correct cutting plate combination. The thicker plates (3mm) are for cutting, and the thinner plate (2mm) is often used in conjunction with the thicker plates or embossing pad. Ensure the die is sharp and placed correctly on the material. For thicker materials, you might need to run the stack through the machine twice.
Embossing is too faint or uneven.
Ensure you are using the embossing pad and the correct plate configuration as per instructions. Place the embossing folder and material centrally within the machine's feed. You may need to adjust pressure by slightly altering plate thickness if your folder is particularly deep or shallow, but always stay within recommended material limits.
Die cuts are catching on the rollers.
Ensure the die is placed with the cutting edge facing the material. Check that the material and die are securely held within the plates and not protruding where they could catch. Feed the stack smoothly and consistently.
