Hi, i just bought an older style of this brand called the Accucut Zip' eMATE, It is still brand new. I'm having many issues i've had it a few days & still can't figure out how to use it, i've used other machines, so i'm familiar with die cutter embossing machines, but never had an older design like this one, i have the instructions & have followed them to a (T), I have the Zip' eMate item # as 2500420, it has it listed as i'd need to use a release foam over the blades for the very first time using the die cutter, i can't locate anything like this adhesive backed release foam anywhere, so i thought i'd do embossing instead & i put in the white platform 1st, then my folder with 1 cardstock inside, then as instructed i put on the black foam mat, it said not to use the embossing mat, i then tried to get it thru my machine by using the handle & it just wouldn't budge an inch, could you please tell me, what am i doing wrong, i'd appreciate any help at all from anyone here, thanks for taking time in reading this & stay safe.
Very useful information, well presented, which will help me decide which model. Thank you. Jan
THanks so much for finally showing the machine and all about how it compares and works. tfs
I was so hoping you would put a piece of fabric through that thing. I've never seen it work.
Hey, I am wondering what you used to mark your dies? I love the white on the dark.
Yes you are right! I'll have to update my videos. :)
