So I would check first to be sure.<br /><br />Re 2 clear plates. Yes these work perfectly - I think they decided a "purple" one was not necessary.<br /> <br />The shims should come in the pack with the plates.<br /> <br />I would suggest you wait for the other shims (especially the magnetic one) to arrive as you need this to hold the metal dies in place. <br />I got my Gemini in November and I absolutely LOVE it. I have used it for all sorts of Cards and boxes and think it is GREAT ! <br />Hope you get yours sorted out soon. If I can help more just ask.

This is not what I wanted. There is no purple base plate but there are 2 clear plates. Will this still work? Also I did not get the magnetic shim or the rubber mat. I have just ordered these and am waiting. Please help. Do I try this...wait for other shims...or return and order a different one????

I bought the dies from Crafters Companion - a birthday one and a made with love one too. I watched a video and read the manual . The plates got stuck. Took the machine back and got a new one. Checked and double checked and the plates got stuck again. Went back and got my third machine. I then rang the manufacturers and told them the tale and said I wanted to make the card while they were on the line. I had been using the correct sandwich of plates. All went well. The manufacturers said I needn't have taken the machines back if I had pressed the STOP button long enough it would have started, They had forgotten to put this in the manual. I don't know if this works. HobbyCraft did not know this . <br />It is lovely machine but now I am scared that it will go wrong againAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367377300314683727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736270649113631204.post-7359809964504373962017-02-13T13:25:14.254+00:002017-02-13T13:25:14.254+00:00I treated myself to one when they first arrived in...I treated myself to one when they first arrived in UK last year, I've my son's wedding stationary to do.
