All power to your elbow good for you finding an alternative way to use the folders I’d never have the strength to do it that way, but if it works for you yey.

As for your question about using the folders in a Sizzix machine, I honestly don’t know. If you have a local retailer it would be worth asking them, you could try contacting the manufacturers but they are likely to be biased towards their own machines.

Personally I went for the Cuttlebug because of the versatility, it will use dies and folders from other companies, as will the Wizard machine from Spellbinders.

The issue I have with Sizzix, is that they appear to require you to buy a different machine, for each of their die styles they bring out. I may be wrong, but it is what the merchandising appears to require. Being short on cash and storage space, I didn’t want to be locked into that kind of system.

Here is a list of manufacturers if you wish to contact them for advice for alternative machines.

Sizzix
Cuttlebug is made by Provocraft
Spellbinders makers of the Wizard.

Hope that helps

Billie, do you happen to know if the Cuttlebug folders can be used in other things, like the Sizzix machines? (Which are a lot cheaper…)
