If you were to order any Nestabilities sets what one would you order?
The wholesale company that I order from just started to carry them so, I can get them at a great price. I don't own a cuttlebug because I use my cricut for everything but I think that I would really love to get the Nestabilities. What sets are a beginners "must haves"?
The Nestabilities come in large and small sets and unless you want tiny, tiny, the large set makes quite small circles, ovals, etc. I had to have the ovals first. I have the ovals, circles and rectangles in both the scalloped and plain and now of course I just have to have the squares. I use the ovals the most though. The other set I use a lot is the Tag 5 set.
Have fun!
I have the circles, the ovals and the rectangles and I have to say that I use the large scallop circles the most. I have the mega rectangles on order and hoping that they will work well to make a scalloped edge along with having long scalloped rectangles.

All of them!
I haven't gotten mine yet, but I've put an order in for the circles and the squares. If I had to do it over, I'd pick ovals since I could conceivably do the squares and rectangles using other tools.
I agree you need them all But, to start, I'd say ovals too. I have all the large sets (plain and scalloped) and the ovals are the ones I reach for the most.
I have the rectangle and circle. I think it depends on what you like to do most. I love circles and the rectangle is pretty standard in my cards. But I do plan on getting all of them in the next few months. They've just been on back order that I'm not too motivated to get them now. I'll just use what I have.

My first set was the ovals--absolutely love them. The rectangles are on order (per a suggestion from Marcie @ cut@home that these were the second most popular) and next month with my 40% coupon I will get the circles.
Nichole over at PTI had a nice comparison as to the sizes. If you want more scallop border to show she sugests the large scallop with the small classic cut. I use my ovals and square the most so far, still waiting for the rectangles to come in. I love making frames out of these to lay over. They look so pretty once embossed.

Without a cuttlebug or some other due cutting tool, you cannot use the nesties.
I plan on ordering both the nestabilities and the cuttlebug at the same time. I just noticed that the sizzix texture plates. Can they be used with the cuttlebug as well? any thoughts?
I chose rectangles as my first Nestie shapes to get as I already had tools to cut circles and ovals. But I just got circles on Monday for my birthday, yay! I personally like the look of more scallop showing when layering so I chose Large Scallop and Small Classic sets.
Another thing to consider is whether you want the normal size scallop or the 'petite' - as far as I know, the difference is that the scallops on the petite sets are smaller so you get more scallops on the shapes. I also believe the petite scallop ovals are less rounded in shape than the normal scallop ovals.
Whatever you decide, I am sure you will love them! Have fun!

My sister and her husband own their own buisness and so my sister and I am able to get wholesale pricing with her. I think the name of the company is Treasure craft. They are a small wholesale company here in Canada. I order all my Cricut supplies and now Cuttlebug stuff through them but SU still has the best paper and ink.
I have all (I think) the marvy punches for ovals and circles both plain and scalloped, so I figired I would start with something I didn't already have.
