Nestabilities with original sizzix

[shonam]

Do you know if the nestabilities are compatible with my old red sizzix original machine? I've been hunting for scallop dies and haven't been able to find the sizes I want . These would be ideal if they work in my machine.

[Melinda]

I have alway wanted to know this too thanks for asking the question

[familygits]

---> ZAZ™ by Accucut®

Capabilities
This machine is capable of cutting and embossing any Spellbinders Style Die™, except the
larger, Size Four Spellbinders Dies.

How-To
To use a Spellbinders Die in the ZAZ™:
1. Place Spellbinders die on ZAZ™'s platform, blade side up.
2. Place paper over die and cut in the same manner as with Zip’eCuts™.
3. After cut, do not remove the die or the paper from the platform, place ZAZ™'s Embossing
Foam over paper and with the

---> Sizzix®
Capabilities
Sizzix® manufactures the Sizzix® Adapter™ and the Sizzix® System Converter™ which,
together, allow the cutting of Spellbinders Style Dies™ that are smaller than the Sizzix®
Adapter, which measures 2 3/8” by 2 5/8.” This includes most Spellbinders Fonts and Mystery
Dies. The Sizzix® Adapters are sold in packages of ten and several can be used side by side
to allow for the cutting of larger Spellbinders Style Dies™.

Sizzix® does not manufacture any kind of embossing pad or foam to allow the Spellbinders
Style Dies™ to be embossed in the Sizzix® machine. However, Spellbinders Tan Emboss Pad
can be used in the Sizzix® Machine.

How-To
To cut and emboss a Spellbinders Style Die™ in a Sizzix® Machine:
1. Place the Sizzix® System Converter into the Sizzix® Machine.
2. On the Cutting Pad, place paper to be cut, then the Spellbinders Style Die™, ridges down.
3. Place a Sizzix® Adapter over the Spellbinders Style Die™, then cut as normal.
4. Leave the cut paper in the die. Turn the die over so that the ridges are facing up, place
back on the cutting pad – without
the Sizzix® Adapter.
5. Layer a Tan Emboss Pad over the die.
6. Press in the Sizzix® Machine. Shim with extra pieces of cardstock if needed.



---> Sidekick™ & Tag-a-Long™

Capabilities
The Sizzix® Adapter does allow the cutting of Spellbinders Style Dies™ with the Sidekick™ &
Tag-a-Long™, but this is limited to most Spellbinders Fonts or Mystery Dies, due to the
limiting size of the Sizzix® Adapter.

The Sidekick™ & Tag-a-Long™ do not allow for the embossing of Spellbinders Style Dies™.

How-To
To cut a Spellbinders Style Die™ in a Sidekick™ Machine or a Tag-a-Long™:
1. Place die, ridges up, onto a Sizzix® Adapter.
2. Place paper over die, roll through the Sidekick™ or Tag-a-Long™.



---> QuicKutz Revolution ®
Capabilities
The QuicKutz Revolution® is capable of cutting Spellbinders Style Dies™.
It is not capable of embossing Spellbinders Style Dies™.

How-To

2. Add your cardstock on top of the die.
3. Place your clear plate on top of that as your final Layer.
4. Run through the machine.

Did use funky foam to start with but it cuts right through it so have bought one of the spellbinders mats (12 x 12) which I have cut up to fit. Ordered it in the afternoon and it was with me in the morning - if you want supplier then pm me.
