3As...DIES selection:
- for font, QK has 4 sizes, I've at least 1 curly and 1 straight font for each size.
- for shapes, I'll go for dies that is versatile which I can have repeated and repeated usage for different projects.
- Nestibilities for the various shape like scallop circle, square, heart, rectangle are essential as it's difficult to "scallop" yourself.
- Dry embossing, choose those versatile folder like swirls, circles, checked, scripts which you can use on majority projects
THINK hard on how many uses you can have with the dies then commit to buy.
I havent used my Silhouette, Squeeze is also NEW, loaned to someone to try for 2 weeks.
QK has very good international support. Email them if you have problem, they'll help you. This is a review I got from friends. I haven't try myself though I'm supposed to do it last year to ask them to help me with 1 spare part which was damaged due to usage.
Thickness of material you can cut is greatly depends on the thickness of the dies. QK is a thin plate, therefore, cannot cut chipboard. While Sizzie is at least ½ inch thick, therefore can cut thicker material.
