Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Gemini Junior Twin-Function Cutter & Embosser: Portable Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, White by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Buy a manual machine instead!

Waste of money and a total disappointment. I have Gemini Jr. within three months, and I replaced the blades twice (4 x $10), the metal spacer, the magnetic spacer, and even the plastic spacerโ€”which was over half the cost of the machine. only in removable disks! Since there is no platform, the blades will bend EVERY time you jump over them. I don't know, maybe my particular machine is just not designed right, but the pressure is too high. On my brand new projects I get imprints of some "scars" on the inserts! And I don't do mass die cutting, I'm a DIYer who makes some postcards for friends and family. Profile representative of the industry. This is essentially useless. I bought a manual typewriter a week ago and - voila! All problems are solved. No deformation. No fancy prints on my diecuts from the cutting pads. Perfect, trouble-free cuts. If you are just starting out with needlework, I would suggest a manual machine.

Pros
  • Save space: die cut and emboss in 10 seconds, slim, flat design
Cons
  • Some mistakes
