Big Shot Approved Materials List for Bigz and Originals Dies
Cut through the following materials using steel rule dies and your Big Shot machine. As a general rule of thumb, your machine can cut through a material with the Bigz or Originals dies if you can cut it using the Craft and Rubber Scissors.
Please note the maximum thickness of several materials. You must experiment with the actual material to ensure the correct sandwich. Do not force anything through your machine. If in doubt as to whether a material is approved, refer to Sizzix.com
