Hello All, I just purchased the Big Shot Pro, will be delivered next week. Have a Vagabond and love it but wanted to use larger dies and option of using Accuquilt. I bought a book by Ebony Love and it is very helpful but I'm still not sure how to shim a Big Shot Pro for an Accuquilt die, is there a method or trial and error by adding card stock? Also wondering if you use the acrylic matts on a Pro with Accquilt dies or do you need to buy a plastic Accuquilt mat?
I'm excited to get the machine, I purchased on Overstock with an 11" Scallop die. Wanted the white/gray but for the price difference and a free die, decided I could live with the blue/purple? one and figure I will make a cover for it anyway. Glad to hear good things about the pro, I bought the crazy quilt die to see if I like that for piecing.
