[@debraschwenk9964]

Congrats on your new SNC machine and your Spellbinders tool set!

[@megbreiter6314]

Awesome, congratulations on your new machine. Thanks for sharing it's maiden voyage...very informative 👍

[@simpsondonna]

Please show us more using the Scan n cut!

[@TriplogClub]

Nice

[@carolalanis795]

Awesome now I want one!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@Mom2create]

Hello I would like to know how you like this machine so far thanks for sharing

[@NancyStamps]

Yes I wish I had bought one years sooner

[@gjwolf100]

Congratulations on your new SNC. I bought mine last year for myself for Christmas and I love it. I love my silhouette too and I still use it to design stuff on it. Nancy, Watch papered chef on her SNC videos. She’s a great teacher and goes through details, tips and tricks. You did a great job on your first cut!

[@SlowHorses-x1v]

I learned a lot from the Paper Chef, and sometimes she is funny! Her instructions are clear and easy to follow.

[@debschurby1574]

Thanks for giving a referral for SNC demos!

[@DebadooCreates]

I agree that she does have tremendous knowledge & knows the machine inside & out, but just a warning, she can be hard to listen to. She's adorable in her enthusiasm, but she's easily sidetracked, & it may take 30 minutes to explain something when it could have taken 10. Not trying to knock her down at all, just preparing y'all lol

[@cathygreear2598]

So excited for you. hope to get one this year

[@Sandiegeek]

I solved the problem of the blade slipping by using painter's tape to keep it in place.

[@texasgalcrafts7159]

Chow is the biggest enabler in the group..aside from you 😜🤣 I love my SDX125e. I've been able to get rid of 4 of my other cutting machines since getting it lol

[@janetg.]

LOL, you're not alone Nancy. I received my Scan & Cut for XMAS 2021 and it's still in the box in my craft room. Thanks for the video because now I will open the box!!! LOL

[@NancyStamps]

Yay!! Can't wait to see what you make

[@NailsbyAmbie]

I have read so many comments about people buying these using a few times than putting back in the closet. Including me mines been in there for like 3 years . Just pulled it out and will start using it. I didn’t realize how useful it is.

[@lanascrapaddict2044]

Not everyone moved up. I am still using my original!

[@Jeany829]

I want to buy one soon🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@Taitcreates639]

She’s a beauty, enjoy. I bet they can a lot of different things. Can’t wait to see ya cranking out some stickers and things

[@sandyvisger9256]

, Awesome 👍👍

[@pamelasertich9850]

Well it's about time! Congratulations. I use mine rarely, I should use it more. I used it to cut out a stamped image the other week and it did a great job the first time. I didn't have to re-do it or anything.

[@conniecox1253]

Beautiful work hugs😇❤️😇

[@melinda4815]

Hi Nancy, I am so glad you got a new SNC. Brave Lady for showing your first try. You did such a nice job. I love how you explained what went wrong with the cuts. I hope you have years of fun with this one. Thanks again for sharing.

[@debsumption2655]

So excited to see this! I was wondering if it would cut foiled items. So very cool! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@stephaniewalter4673]

Have the CM350 which I love - keep looking at the new sdx model but right now can not justify the expense. Maybe next year

[@cassandralytch-colter2133]

Thank you for an updated video. I am going to get mine for my birthday as well. I am so excited. I too have a Cricut Explorer Air. So looking forward to the Scan and Cut!

[@Melanie_CraftMama]

Yay! Congratulations Nancy!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Congratulations on your new machine.

[@moniquevann9950]

Oh wow 😯 I might have to look into a ScanNCut Thanks

[@Elizaboots]

Wow, for a straight out of the box cut that’s pretty darn good. I love my Scan n Cut, it’s the entry level SDX900, but it’s just great for me.

[@debschurby1574]

Hey Carol! Just curious what all you use your SNC for. I’m on the fence. It’d mostly be a die cutter for stamps & my art/card making. Don’t know if it justifies what l’d save on matching dies, l have an Empress die cutter, so l’m not sure if the space & cost of the SNC is valid for me. I’ve wanted one for soooo long! 🤪

[@Elizaboots]

@@debschurby1574 I use mine for cutting faux leather for bag making, fabrics for quilting and other sewing projects. I’ve used it for card making too, I have usbs from Tattered Lace that have intricate svgs that the Scan n Cut does brilliantly, having them on usbs saves so much space. I have a Crafters Companion Gemini die cutter along with a trillion metal dies and good lord they take so much room up! I was hesitant about buying the Scan n Cut but now I can’t imagine being without it. They are an investment, but once you get into it and see just what you can do, it’s well worth it, in my opinion.

[@debschurby1574]

@@Elizaboots Oh that sounds fun working with leather & fabric! When l was a kid my grandad had a music/saddle shop & l loved hammering designs into the leather. I draw a lot of my own cards & it’d be fun to be able to have them machine cut. Does the SNC go inside a design to cut out areas or does it only do outer edge cutting? Thanks so much for your response.

[@Elizaboots]

@@debschurby1574 if the svg tells it to cut a fancy design, like maybe a fancy lace design, then that’s what it will cut. It would be impossible for me to cut by hand because of the intricate design, but the scan n cut has no problem.

[@debschurby1574]

@@Elizaboots Wow, that’s making it more & more enticing! My s-i-l is a master seamstress, l bet we could find all kinds of things for her to use it for. Thanks again for your responses. You’ve been a huge help, looks like l’ll be on the hunt for the best price on one. 🙏🏻💖

[@jerseyjean8160]

It was fun to watch you cut your design out, I could sense your utter joy and excitement!! Happy you have a new toy/tool to play with and to show others how to use it. I have had a Silhouette Portrait for 8/9 years now. I love the software too.

[@alphasxsignal]

That was cool.

[@4nikkimay]

Oh I’m so excited to see what else you’re going to do with the brother scan and cut. You totally are going to get a lot of people to use that toy again too. Yay. Thanks for sharing. 💕

[@caroladams3949]

When my blade started slipping down to a lower number I just put that thin blue tape that you put on threads on pipes. and it works. My blade stays where i put it now.

[@AnnetteSeletzky]

Wow that looks amazing! Thanks for showing us. I have been considering getting this machine. I don't know much about it yet. How do you correct the cut so it doesn't cut the tools in half...?

[@NancyStamps]

Watch Stacy’s video. She fixed it. The lines have to be connected. So take a pencil and drawing them in is easy way to fix too.

[@chowliu]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@MaryAnnSolomon]

I also use Silhouette Business edition to design for both SNC & Cricut. I don't pay for Cricut - I upload svgs into Design Space, I don't pay the subscription.

[@conniecox1253]

Congratulations

[@alyshahurd]

Since everything from the old scan & cut fit the new one. I'd be curious if the new blade would work with the old scan and cut! (Then if someone else has this same problem & can afford a new machine, they could get a blade for the newer model and use it.

[@NancyStamps]

Nope. Different blade holders and different mats. Also the new blade is automatic adjustment. The old one is manual so it wouldn't work anyway.

[@alyshahurd]

@@NancyStamps Bummer! It was a good thought though (just because the old blades work the the newer machine! Thanks for sharing your unboxing!

[@bethgray4151]

I have one sitting in a box in my craft room. I used it at my former home, but I don't find it as user friendly as my Cricut. I liked it to create a shadow layers and cut out patterned paper, but now my Cricut will do shadows. Nancy, if you do lessons with this, I will consider getting it out again!

[@sherrithompson4238]

How fun. I did get one when they first came out, but I got buyers remorse and sent it back. I felt like I didnt want to learn another machine. I had so much invested into my Cricuts. But I hate fussy cutting so this might be soon, but I have no room for anything else. My want list is getting out of hand, and my room is stacked to the ceiling. Unlike my homes on the East coast, Houston homes have no basements, we are too close to Sea level. What's a girl to do! Thanks for another fun video.

[@DebadooCreates]

So true about no basements. That's all over most of not all of Texas. You got a big backyard? Build a crafty cabin lol

[@sherylmelton4597]

That little light you used might be throwing a slight glare throwing off the scanner a bit .. Congrats!!

[@michelefrost734]

I bought myself a new SNC for Christmas after my CM350 started having that same problem with the blade slipping down in depth while it cut (BTW, the fix for that is plumbers tape). But the SDX125e just offered too many awesome features so I finally bit the bullet. I l*o*v*e it so much! I make stuff to sell so I'm keeping the 350 for simple stuff, the 125e is my main workhorse. Enjoy!

[@peggyrose204]

Well, now I may have to get rid of my 350 sync, this one really does look better!!! I do still love my Cricut Maker, I use it mostly for my own graphics and sentiments that I make. I really like the new software update it has and use it for the shadow layers behind my sentiments. But this new m/c looks like it might do all that too. Wow, I will have to think hard about it. I use my sync like you for fussy cutting printed or stamped images. Thanks so much for this unboxing!!!❤️

[@OjibwayDreams]

I love this video and have wanted a Scan 'nCut for a while now. May I ask which overhead filming system or device you use? I really need a better setup

[@conniecox1253]

Does this have auto knife?

[@DebadooCreates]

Wahoooo congrats on the new SNC! I have that one minus the E. Not sure what the difference is if any. Yes, it is tons quieter than the CMs. I bought mine a few years ago on HSN then just had no room to use it. Now that we're moved, as soon as we get my other shelves (origami also from HSN) out of the big pod I'll be able to set it up & use it. The autoblade is what sold me. I had ordered a cricut, but they sent Blue instead of the purple I ordered. I do still think I want a cricut just because the knock off blades are soooo much cheaper than for the SNC & I want to do a lot of stencils. Just like the SNC quickly paid for itself in dies I didn't buy, I think the cricut will pay for itself fairly quickly in blade cost savings. Still hoping brother knock off blades will become much cheaper. We'll see.

[@caroladams3949]

The lines need to be conected for it to cut in one piece. The Papered Chef is the best at showing you how to use this machine.

[@kathywalton7953]

Does this machine scan stamped images, such as Stampin Up, and cuts them?

[@NancyStamps]

Yes. You stamp your image. Scan it and cut.

[@virhil61]

Can you show a video on how to activate collection cards come with machine, please? Thank you

[@annaburriesci7886]

how did you hot foil the tools? thank you

[@NancyStamps]

It's my hot foil plate "Nailed it" from Spellbinders now on sale for Black Friday. Check it out at Spellbinders.

[@kathywalton7953]

Missed it, it where did you get it?

[@DebadooCreates]

She said HSN

[@lynettedeeble9474]

I have a Cricut maker, was spending a 100.00 a year in there design space. But $$$ got tight and I don’t do it. Cricut doesn’t give you anything.. I can’t even scan from my printer and upload it to my cricket design space without having the full subscription. So frustrating. I’m seriously looking at this machine now .

[@leannebetts1291]

I tried it on foiling and didn't work. I will try again when I have time

[@NancyStamps]

The glue pen method? I did it on the old SNC and it worked

[@leannebetts1291]

@@NancyStamps no I had foiled sentiments I wanted cut out. It waned to cut them all up lol I have my sisters old 110

[@jeanetteelliott9527]

Interesting 🤔

[@debschurby1574]

I’ve been on the SNC fence over a year not ready to commit. l see the cuts are close to the image where other SNC demos they say even with the smallest margin setting around the image it still leaves about the same amount of white border as the die cut. l’ve never liked the white border the die cuts leave & l always color the white edges to match the background, which turns out great. My crafting is “The Home of Cussy Cutting.” 🤣😂 l keep telling myself the SNC will pay for itself not needing to buy matching dies. I’ve seen several posts where people who have the SNC admit they still buy the dies. I wouldn’t use one for fabric or anything else, so basically just for card making. I love my Empress so there’s another head scratcher on the justification for buying a SNC if it’s just going to be a larger sized die cutter! I’d be curious to see how it cuts around sentiments. Is there a size requirement on small images? I really appreciate the time you took to share unveiling your new toy! 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼💖

[@NancyStamps]

Lol, love the cussy cottage

[@DebadooCreates]

Hehehe cussy cutting, that's so cute & so accurate! For me at least

[@lalascrafts-phyllis9315]

You need to do the pencil trick not cut it up.. you have to have all lines-touching or closed.. 22:48

I have 350

Someone gifts you a scan and cut (super nice) and you sell your silhouette. Why not pay it forward?
