Fiskar Fuse
 

I'm thinking about having my mom get me a Fiskar die cut machine for Christmas. And I'm wondering since it can take most of the die cuts, can it cut a 2 1/2 inch strip? I think the 2 1/2 inch strip is with the Sizzix. I read here where it takes the Sizzix die cuts, and she wants to spend around $100 for me.

I used to have a heavy red Sizzix die cutter, and I loved it for scrapbooking. I sold it on Craig's list when I realized that scrap booking was taking over my entire life. But a die cut for quilting would be nice, for when they say cut 200 2 1/2 inch squares, or 200 triangles, and get the cut correctly.

It does take dies from Sizzix and Accuquilt. You can see the shims in the brochure.

Think it takes up to 12 inches. I'm using the old Sizzix Big Kick Original. Still works. I have a Silhouette Cameo for appliques.
