One of my favorite uses of these mini die cutting machines is when you just want to cut out a small single-word greeting dies, the ones that say "Hello" or "Friends". Beats having to get out the big machine, and they fit perfectly.
I just purchased this new Sidekick to replace the 3 I already wore out. I was delighted that this machine had been reissued. I was off to a 4 day weekend retreat and needed a machine to die cut my letters. When I opened the box I was very disappointed to find the new cutting pads are too thick for the Sizzix sizzlit letter fonts I have. I had to use one of the cutting plates and the embossing plate to cut my letters. Needless to say the embossing plate was not made for this. I did not cut into the embossing plate but it still cracked in a very short time. I had some original cutting plates and dug them up when I got home. They work perfectly with this machine. I hope they are still available.
Great recap Tim! This sidekick has a perfect footprint. I resisted buying the bigkick a few days ago. Perhaps divine intervention! Would love to have one of these beauties instead.
Hey guys, if you would rather have a prettier model, Sizzix came out with a much cuter one in WHITE !! It came out for Stephanie Barnard & was posted several days ago on her web site. It is the same price. I saw that promo first and fell in love with it.
Nancy Lynn I just became an Instant die addict! I bought dies, 4 months ago, I Still have not used, but, as I began... All of the sizzix stuff started to Really upgrade. Now... I would love this lil guy, for, "get, I need a word cut" ... But, I Do have my stuff All Over, lol.. So, I Must Wait, I want an extended platform, and a big shot plus, As well as a cricut maker, and a cinch... Then, Back to ink, stamps, and, lol... it may be a good idea to start a support group! OR, just go to work For Sizzix!!! lol
How come you can't embos with other dies (like Marianne Design or Joy). I only see the embossingfolders for embossing with the adaptorplate, but no embossingplate voor dies that cuts and embos?
This Sidekick is so cute and love how it matches the Vagabond!! Loved watching you demonstrate it!! I can’t wait for it to arrive at Scrapbook.com for purchase.....I love it for all the reasons you shared in previous videos!! Love your Dies.....love your machines!!!! YOU SO ROCK!! Joan Smith
I just bought one and i am trying to use it. Is it normal for the plats to make cracking noise . I am scared to roll them through because of the cracking noise . help please
It looks to be much more sturdy than other smaller units out there. I have previously purchased several other smaller units, and they broke on me, primarily the plastic handles broke off within weeks of buying them. I will try this one next.
It is very well built. And we have a 60 day money back guarantee if you have any problems with items you purchased at Scrapbook.com. Thanks for watching.
Why is it that the handle on Sidekick turns the opposite way than the handles on most die cut machines? I am use to turning the handle clockwise to feed the plates.
Hummm...that's a good question. I'm not sure what the answer is. That might be a good question to send over to the customer service department at Sizzix. They might have some insight to your question. Thanks for watching.

You are correct. We carry the white one as well. You can find it here...www.scrapbook.com/store/sz-661770.html
I got a sidekick today.
I have a white one and love it but I want to other dies that’s goes with sidekick
My machine is struggling to put through slightly thicker scrap book paper. Does it not take this sort of paper?
another craft thing I need to get.
So Love This, Hope to Meet you Someday!!!
Me too Billie....a dream come true, even for this ole Nana LOL!

Are there more die cuts and embossing folders that fit this sidekick?
Love my TH side kick great for traveling with ! Just wanted to ask if anyone knows if sizzix will bring back sizzix thin die adapters??
Good question. At this time we are unaware of whether Sizzix will make the adapters again. Sorry! Thanks for watching!
hola me encanto la nueva maquina
Can this machine emboss on metal blanks?
How can I get longer glass plates for longer dies using my sidekick?
How come you can't embos with other dies (like Marianne Design or Joy). I only see the embossingfolders for embossing with the adaptorplate, but no embossingplate voor dies that cuts and embos?
I still have the original Sizzix sidekick, can these plates etc be used in that one too please?
The plates should still work in the old Sidekick but you can check with Sizzix directly to be certain.
Does it work on flattened soda cans?
This Sidekick is so cute and love how it matches the Vagabond!! Loved watching you demonstrate it!! I can’t wait for it to arrive at Scrapbook.com for purchase.....I love it for all the reasons you shared in previous videos!! Love your Dies.....love your machines!!!! YOU SO ROCK!!

Why is the template cutting into my cutting pads
Can I cut leather with the Sizzix Die cut? Thank you
I just bought one and i am trying to use it. Is it normal for the plats to make cracking noise . I am scared to roll them through because of the cracking noise . help please
Hi Laura! Yes, that cracking noise is completely normal! 😊
Can you show how to use the stamps, please?
Thank you for the suggestion. We will keep that in mind for next time. Thank you for watching.

I have 2 of the original sidekicks. Can I also use them with dies?
Yes, you can!

He is working from the back of the machine to show the brand name to the camera in front
Braucht kein Mensch, wer schon eine Big Shot hat.
Can it be used for cutting satin?
This machine is more suited to cutting paper, vellum, and light cardstock.
☹️
I like the look and abilities of the machine, but terrible color for me.
