I was really excited to learn that there is an affordable Electric Embossing and Die Cut Machine. I have Carple Tunnel Sydrom and my wrist are killing me everytime I need to use my manual machine. I can't believe how great (and easy) this machine is to use. The ease of use is great. Only drawback is it doesn't come with any dies or Embossing Folders. I think Sizzix could have just thrown in one of each. Other then that I am thrilled.
