I got the today's special and a Brother Skitch embroidery machine to try. Not sure if I'm keeping it because i have embroidery machines, but this one has a free arm. I'm trying it out and doing videos for my small channel to help me decide and help others learn about it. I'm not sure if im keeping the water color kit, too. I like DP, but after i got it, i questioned whether i needed it. I have so much already and am starting to give stuff away. I seem to only use most stamp sets once. I may sell some.

I definitely will keep my finger crossed that it continues to work for me. I love how small it is however love the wide mouth for most of spellbinder dies.

Love my machine and even my 5 y/o granddaughter was able to use it with some help. Once I conditioned it by , 1. Taking a paper towel and wiping both rollers while cranking machine, 2. I started with passing the embossing sandwich through a couple times with the folder no paper, 3. Passing the cutting sandwich without die, lastly I passed embossing folder again this time with paper,, then cutting die with paper placing the die in the center so that the machine grabbed the sandwich then putting pressure on top the machine to keep it down while cracking the handle. Once broken in you will love this machine! Trust me. I was crafting with this machine while watching TV with hubby. Usually I am in my craft room . Hubby like it when we are together in the living room.

Hi, I guess I didn’t explain myself correctly, my machine worked beautifully since I opened the box up. No problem cutting any die or embossing, I was in love. Then, one day I was cutting for several hours for an event and then it stopped cutting. From that moment on it would not take any die, any weight paper or the embossing folder it came with. I tried all their suggestions for seasoning the machine though it had already been seasoned and used many times. Believe me I loved that thing and am still sad I had to send it back. The bottom line is some work and some don’t and they know that. I’m happy to hear yours is still working and hope you and your granddaughter have many crafty years together.

Sorry to hear that. I got the lilac one and I did the seasoning. I also put small amount of degreaser on the rag and pass it through the rollers as I crank it and it worked well now. My granddaughter was also rolled dies through. As for customer service, spellbinder was excellent in resolving my problem with the scout. Also for my granddaughter, I clamped it slightly down to hold machine in place and she is able to use it. Really sorry that you having issues.

The Paper Pumpkin Subscription is great because you get an opportunity every month to say yes or no to the new kit. That way if one strikes your creativity, you won't miss it.

Hi Mary! I didn't get this originally because there were no refills of the honeycomb, but I bought on a deal. Beth showed it where the recipient could stick it down. It's hard to know if it would take away from the card for the recipient because I am a crafter and would know what to do. It might seem like a fun thing for them to do. The new Scout is so pretty, but I already have too machine cutting machines.

Hi Mary, I never saw this kit, I think it’s adorable. My granddaughters would love it. I would glue all the heart down and mail it in a box. I save the small boxes from Anna Griffin and Diamond Press, just for these kind of projects. You can also put the honeycomb inside the card and it would be flatter for mailing.

Thanks for demonstrating that the machine has to be “primed” in order to start working properly! I do not like the fact that we have to break in a new machine by forcing the plates through it. This is a procedure we have always been warned not to do when using a die cutting machine. I was convinced my machine was defective when I took it out of the box and couldn’t get it to cut the included dies.

I think some are tighter than others for some reason, but I can say that mine has gotten easier to crank. Have you tried yours again? Try it without the B plate and see what happens.
