Sizzix Sidekick Machine Review

The Sizzix Sidekick machine is without a doubt the die cutter that is most well known for its affordability. It's a great entry-level die cutting machine that you really can't go wrong with, if you want something that does what it says on the tin and is incredibly portable.

In fact, there are many crafters out there who are looking for a solution in addition to their home based die cutting machine. This is likely the one you've been searching for. It's designed to be portable so you'll find that it fits in quite nicely with an on-the-go lifestyle. It weighs a mere 2 pounds, so it definitely won't weigh you down.

Don't let the fact that it's fairly small worry you, however. It can cut a single sheet of 65 lb cardstock! It also has suction cups that allows it to stay put when you're cutting.

It works best with the Sizzix brand "Sizzlits." The Sidekick is able to use the 12" decorative strip dies and the Simple Impressions Embossing folders.

If you've been interested in scrapbooking for a while, you may already have some die cuts that you're interested in using with the new machine you purchase. In this case, you can simply buy the available adapter so it will work perfectly with those from other brands! You'll never miss out on a die cut you absolutely have to have just because another company makes it.

So, is this the model you should go with? There is no one correct answer for everyone, but it's a safe bet if your needs fit in well with how the machine performs. In summary, the Sizzix Sidekick die cutting machine is the right purchase for someone who wants something that is portable, lightweight, attractive and easily affordable.
