Just saw an ad in mag for a Sizzix Fabi die cutter? Anyone know about this? Looked on amazon....priced good....

I believe this is the same machine as the Big Kick. The Sizzix website says it takes up to their 6 inch dies.

I asked Sizzix - here's the answer from customer service:
Hello,

Thank you for writing. The BigKICK is the same machine as the Big Shot, and the Fabi, just different color, and name. As for the fabric dies, a platform will not be need, because the Original & Bigz dies are thick, and will not need a platform. These dies are the only ones compatible to fabric, and can cut anything scissors can. If you have any more questions, please let us know.

I bought some square dies and triangles and will be ordering more. I have the original Big Kick.

It's past 7 days, but you can get on the site and ask.

I have the Big Kick cutter too. I LOVE IT. I bought the XL dies to cut strips. I have the 1 1/2 inch, 2 1/2 inch strip cutters and the 4 inch square cutter. I cut enough strips of fabric for 2 bargello quilts in about 15 minutes! Went together so quick and accurate. LOVE MY SIZZIX CUTTER!

Weezy Rider - just tried the link (today is August 8th) and it is no longer valid. I have been thinking about the Sizzix cutter and wondered if it really did a good job on fabric and if they made blades that a quilter could or would use. Thanks for the info!

I said the link was no longer valid, but you could get to the help or contact page to ask your own question. You just click on the company name to get to the main site.

If you look at the main site, there are a lot of dies for quilters. You can buy from Amazon, too.

I couldn't see buying an Accuquilt since Sizzix had a lot of the same dies cheaper, and I already had the Big Kick. I got rid of most of the paper crafting since I have a Silhouette, but the Silhouette doesn't emboss and the Big Kick does.
