I purchased the Gemini Jr, getting the purple one, on the HSN launch.. so much easier than trying to crank the Cuttlebug. I broke my C plate trying to cut some new die cuts, and pretty much after that put my Cuttlebug away. This Gemini Jr is awesome. I was wondering if anyone who has one has ever tried to use the b plates from Cuttlebug on it? Also, the magnetic and rubber embossing mats. I have not attempted to use anything but the plates that came with the Gemini, but was just wondering if any brave souls tried the other plates. I just ordered a complete set of extra plates from Crafter's Companion yesterday, total came to $51.70 since I ordered two clear cutting plates. I do flip and reverse the plates after every single cut like Sara Davies said, but I wanted back up plates. I am keeping one plate strictly for the bottom, so it isn't getting the cuts like the top plate. I have also tried using the dryer sheets to help intricate cuts, but so far they don't pull out all the little pieces like the you tube videos - but it does help. I am so pleased with the Gemini Jr - I'd recommend it to anyone having trouble hand cranking the other die cut machines ! Thank you in advance for any feedback.
