Absolute Beginners guide to die-cutting. Machines-Electric/manual, size, what brand, how to choose.

my blog: www.sharoncdesign.com I've listed a selection of the most popular die cutting machines below and some different stores to buy from covering US and UK. I have categorised them into size, and whether they are manual or electric. In my video I talked about the fact that only some machines have the wider opening to fit the steel rule blade dies. I have marked with an * all the machines that you CAN use those dies with. Hope that helps, but just leave any questions in the comments and I'll check back and answer them.
