Default Fabi?

Went to a newly opened hobby lobby. Must admit had not been to one in quite awhile due to travel distance...this one is now close (20 miles).....anyway in the fabric dept I spotted a Sizzix machine called Fabi along with many dies.
I have a GO bit since the freeze on die prices I have not purchased as many as I would like to. These dies were reasonable prices...anyway the machine was $119.99 and dies varied, but average seemed to be about $29.99. Saw I few I might like. Does anyone here have one? Like it? But, like Joann's the coupon does not apply to die machines nor dies.......

Me again...just did some research on Sizzix between this Fabi and big shot.....I don't see any difference, except price on amazon anyway ......so, I think I will order the Big Shot from amazon.....

The Hobby Lobby in my area accepts coupons for the dies. I only wish they would carry more of a variety.

I asked Sizzix itself. There is no difference besides color between Fabi, Big Shot and Big Kick. I own the original Big Kick and am using the quilt dies.

I asked the company too and was told the same thing. So I ordered a big shot for less than the Fabi since they are basically the same just different color!

Hi, I just bought myself a Fabi a few days ago and so far am pretty happy with it.
My friend has the accuquilt GoBaby....are the dies for these 2 machines interchangeable???

(sorry if I am not posting this in the right thread..but just this minute joined this Group)

I just bought a Big Shot as it came with the multi-purpose platform which meant I could use it for other crafts. The Big Shot was cheaper than the Fabi also. I've also tested cutting fabric with the cheaper card dies (though you can only cut 1 layer of fabric with those dies and you have to use a shim). I'm having a great time with it and it's good value for money.

Yes, I understand you can use GO dies on Sizzix cutters, but a shim might be needed.....

Just ordered a few more Sizzix dies from their site...sale......

I also see 20% off at accuquilt......
