The Double Do machine is to be relaunched as the X-CUT IMPRESS by do crafts.

Please note that some of the Double Do dies will be discontinued, whilst some new dies will be added by do crafts.

We do not yet have a list of the dies to be "retired", we will post on this site as soon as we have the information.

I would just like to say a big thank you to all of you that have emailed and phoned me after receiving the newsletter and for all your kind comments and messages of support.

For those of you who have not shopped with me before at A1crafts, I pride myself on my customer service and we try and always offer the crafter the best value for money that we can.

As you will probably realise relaunching the Rugbycrafts website has been a big undertaking and it will take some time before we can resouce all of the products that you are used to and more!

Please note that we have no connection to Amethyst Crafts of Hill Morton Road, Rugby and that we do not have a shop open to the public. However we do have plans to open our demonstration area and stock rooms by appointment and if anybody would like to visit please contact me prior to travelling.

Once again thank you for your kind comments.

Kind regards - Lorraine

Double Do dies the same size or smaller than a sizzix adaptor will work in a sizzix machine,this includes all of the alphabet dies.

Use with a magnetic convertor plate as normal.

The larger dies will not work with a sizzix machine,but we are looking into having an adaptor made to use with the larger size and border dies.

Ellison do not endorse or approve the use of Double Do dies in their machines.If you do,you do so at your own risk

The smaller Double Do dies can be used in The Big shot using a black sizzix adaptor.The smaller dies include all of the alphabets.

The larger Double Do dies will need to be used with the Double Do plates which will be available to buy separately.

The Double Do plates mark more deeply when used in The Big Shot and will mark your card or paper in the same way as the Big Shot,although less so.

To use,

White platform,

Clear cutting mat,

Sizzix adaptor,instructions facing down,

Double Do die,foam side up,

Paper or card,

2nd clear cutting mat.

When using the Double Do plates for bigger dies and border dies,use instead of the Big Shot's clear cutting mats,on top of the white platform.The smaller dies can also be used in this way,eliminating the need for the sizzix adaptor.

These instructions are not endorsed or approved by Ellison for use in the Big Shot,so if you do,you do so at your own risk.
