I have the Sizzix Big Shot Pro (which is their largest hand cranked machine) and I use Accuquilt dies with it. You can use just about anyone's dies with the Big Shot Pro that you want. It is larger than the Accuquilt Go machines, more comparable to the largest machine that Accuquilt makes.

I've cut at least 10 layers of fabric at a time (maybe more) with my Big Shot Pro using Accuquilt dies. You can also buy Sizzix dies on Amazon.com and also directly from Sizzix/Ellison. I love my Big Shot Pro. There is a metal housing over top of the roller which allows you to use your non-cranking hand to hold on to the machine for leverage when cranking really thick layers through and that means less time spent cranking/cutting since you are cutting more pieces at a time.

I use mine for cutting small squares, half square triangles, etc. when I'm doing a quilt that requires lots of them. It really does save time.
