I use the Sizzix big shot and really like it. I have never used cuttlebug so I can not comment on that one. I like sizzix all around. I use my cricut more since I purchased it in February but still pull out the sizzex for alot of die cuts.

i have a sizzix sidekick and a cuttlebug. both work great but i tend to use the sizzix sidekick more- its small and does the job quickly. i do a lot of embossing with it.

With all things considered, the op may do well with a shiny new penny. As far as steering repair on these, I always recommend installing a new sector kit. 167903 is the pre-built sector. Off the deck comes, the drag link end, the steering wheel and adapter, the fuel tank gets moved aside- plus4 bolts and the sector finds its way out. The part is ~ 80$. The drag link itself should be inspected and replaced if the joints are sloppy and may pull apart, Of course, that adds ~ 50$ to the bill.You will want to know too that the upper steering bushing has its mounting screws in place yet . The crosslink that runs between the two axle spindles can bend and create a poor steering response too, so have a look at that to ensure it is straight. While you can pull the sector and replace the plastic support for $10. I never do as it seems that the rest also has enough wear once problems develop- that skipping can still occur or it will come back soon enough to bite you.

We had baked tilapia with panko coating. I've been feeling side dish-challenged a lot lately, so I figured this salad had enough veggies in it to count for 2 sides. Oh yeah - we had lemon meringue pie, too. The recipe said "makes 6 cups of slaw" - didn't say what a serving size would be, but I would think one cup. To be honest, I'm not a very good judge of weight measurements when it comes to cabbage and bok choy, so I probably made more than 6 cups. Shredded chicken does sound good. I'm thinking that ramen noodles would be good, too,instead of cooked pasta, as the recipe suggests.

I'd check out CL before buying a new one. People sell their barely-used items for cheap.

How serendipitous!! I just popped over here from the kitchen forum to see what goes on on some of the other forums and maybe I can help you. I have an old original Sizzix machine I no longer need. If you want it and are willing to pay for the shipping as it's quite heavy, you can have if for free.

You can check me out on the kitchen forum. I've done some swaps with some of the folks over there who hopefully LOL would vouch for my trustworthiness. Just email me through my page.
