Felt cutting - Sissix big shot?

Hi really fancy cutting out lots of beautiful felt flower shapes in different sizes and layering them. Was wondering what I needed ideally machine wise. Do I need to spend as much as the above costs or is there a compact model of some kind that would do a good job of cutting felt? Advice very welcome Smile

I wouldn't spend that much for a passing fancy OP If you're thinking of selling things then perhaps it might be a good idea but if it's only for yourself, use scissors...I always have.

Thanks mrsflannel you're right, I should just buy myself a decent pair of sharp scissors!

You can buy pre-cuts as well which are a little bit more expensive but not as expensive as buying the machine with the dies on top.

Something like this one from eBay which says it uses a Sissix die.

Or this one from Etsy
