Sizzix bigz in Epic?

[spenzalot]

Can you cut a sizzix Bigz die in the epic??? And if so, do you have to have a different cutting mat?

Thanks,
Lisa

The Sizzix website lists the Bigz dies as 5 1/2" x 6". So yes, you can cut them in the Epic. If you want to double check, here's the link. They list the actual size of the die.

Remember, if they aren't listed on the Scrapyland website, I'm pretty sure Dani can order them for you.

You need two of the thicker cutting plates, not the Flex mats. The Sizzix brand plates also fit in the Epic, so you can use those as well. And the Epic cuts Sizzix dies like butter! I know Susan has some videos up on the blog showing the different ways to cut other dies with the Epic.

Good luck!
