(there are also sizzlits dies but I don't think they'd be as good on fabric because they are so thin.
You can usually find the dies on eBay cheap.
Yikes. I love my Sizzix and bought the Original (red, lever type) cutter in 2001 just for quilting. I don't scrapbook. Anyway do not invest in the Sizzlits dies for fabric, they won't cut fabric. I know because I tried. Did some online research and finally found where it said the Sizzlits will not cut fabric. All the other dies work perfectly.
