[@sewalongwithjan]

So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@gmab4758]

Oh my gosh! I just ran into your video and it’s just what i want to learn! Wow!

[@sewalongwithjan]

The PC version of Canvas Workspace has been a challenge for me. I'm doing much better now.

[@margarettavares9578]

Thank you so much for a very informative video. I’m really excited to try the downloaded version of Canvas.

[@sewalongwithjan]

You are very welcome, Margaretta! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@paularoney6517]

Thanks so much. I wanted to use the download version for more capabilities but couldn’t figure it out!

[@sewalongwithjan]

I've resisted this version of the software for quite awhile. I'm getting used to it now and it has more capabilities than the online version.

[@wendycampana9089]

Thank you for making this video. I am new to brothers scan n cut. Really interested in purchasing this machine. Such a variety in costs.

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Wendy! I really like my Scan N Cut. There are mass market models which are more set up for the crafter, and there are dealer models more aimed at the sewer/embroiderer. Depends on what you do most for which machine you will need.

[@gmab4758]

Thank you for your teaching! I will checkout your website too.

[@sewalongwithjan]

That's great! Thanks

[@donnacamp5663]

[@sewalongwithjan]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@carolyncantley2265]

Awesome Video. Thank you for sharing... I've had my SDX325 for about 6 months now and I really like it. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed that Brother has discontinued so many of the premium features. Now, I miss what I don't have. LOL

[@sewalongwithjan]

I have the SDX230D and really like it. Yes, I'm disappointed that Brother discontinued some of the Premiums as well. I really like the rhinestones and the stamp kits!

[@krystaljohnson6298]

Thank you, I did learn something new.

[@sewalongwithjan]

You're welcome, Krystal! So glad you enjoyed the video

Watching on replay

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Tammy!

[@velvetjohnson529]

Good morning happy Wednesday, I would like to learn how to create an offset

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Velvet! Making an offset is really easy in Canvas Workspace. Make the shape or text you want the offset around and select it. Under the Edit menu on the right side, click the offset button. Choose your spacing, if the offset shout be inside or outside your design, and if you want the corners beveled or curved. Click ok and you have an offset!!

[@cynthiavines8426]

Watching on replay. Do you ever offer this live at another time? I want to learn the Canvas. Excited this is offered.

[@sewalongwithjan]

I do most of my classes online now. Usually the first and third Wednesday evening at 7 PM Central.

[@stephanieboik9078]

Ilove KZbin videos and easy to find.

[@sewalongwithjan]

Thanks Stephanie!

[@tomihill01]

I have the Disney ScanNCut. If I buy the rhinestone starter kit will it work on these newer machines. I think that they are discontinued now, but I found a lady who is selling hers that she never used.

[@sewalongwithjan]

The rhinestone kit should work fine with your Scan n Cut as long as the activation card is unused. It will be in the box.

[@lindagerzseny3677]

New to your channel. I like it.

[@sewalongwithjan]

Thanks, Linda! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@sharonharrison484]

New to the channel.

[@sewalongwithjan]

Welcome Sharon!

[@slschroeder4224]

Hi, Jan. Thank you for the class. Questions - Where did you find the ScanNCut SVG file? And, where/when would you use the Paper Piercing tool?

[@sewalongwithjan]

There is a piercing kit and makes a beautiful decorative edging on cards and such. The SVG's that I used in this class were from Birds Cards. The rolled flower design

[@gkhutchinson1284]

Watching replay. Would you please refer to ‘which machine’ ( sNc or Lumixp3)

[@sewalongwithjan]

This is the software for the Scan n Cut

[@wendycampana9089]

Is there a way to mark 1/4 in seam?

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Wendy! There is on the edit screen of the Scan N Cut. The symbol is a square with a dashed square inside it.

[@lyndaperry2224]

So do I need both

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Lynda! I'm not sure I understand. Are you referring to the online version of Canvas Workspace and the PC version of Canvas Workspace?

[@barbulmer852]

I don't see as many options when I open the online version of canvas? is that due to the level of machine functions?

[@sewalongwithjan]

@barbulmer852 the online version of Canvas Workspace doesn't have some of the features of the PC version. My screen may have things that you don't as I have some premium functions

[@sandyratter1688]

I purchased a used scan n cut on eBay. How do I remove their information so I can register the machine so I can use canvas workspace.

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Sandy! On the machine, go to settings-machine registration. You should be able to delete the previous owners info there.

[@jackiekraemer596]

how do u get the enhanced tracing tool.

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Jackie! I think it has been discontinued, but you might still find it at a dealer. Here is the model number CACVPPAC2. Premium Pack 2

[@lucilecamp975]

I purchased the vinyl blade from Amazon. Didn't know to register it & no longer have the card. Is there any way to register it now?

[@sewalongwithjan]

Hi Lucile! You need an activation code that was in the card that came along with the Vinyl Auto Blade to register the software upgrade and get the designs.

[@lucilecamp975]

@@sewalongwithjan Thank you so much for your help. Guess the only answer is to buy another vinyl blade.

[@sewalongwithjan]

@@lucilecamp975 Unfortunately, I think that is the case.

[@beardiebrat]

I am bringing in a PNG file. How do I get it to save as an FCM and export. Keeps erroring out on me. Image data will not be transferred with cut data, there is no object data

[@sewalongwithjan]

@beardiebrat a PNG file is a picture file, so you need to use the tracing function to trace the image to produce the cut lines. Then you can export as an fcm

[@beardiebrat]

@@sewalongwithjan Thank you. Should have watched a touch longer. Figured it out.

[@sewalongwithjan]

@@beardiebrat great!

[@beardiebrat]

You just answered the other question about lettering around a design. Hope to send it out to my cutter tomorrow after some more tweaking. Thank you for the video.

[@sewalongwithjan]

@@beardiebrat You are very welcome!

[@conniewayman8723]

How do I slow the speed of you speaking? The rerun has you speaking 90 miles a minute!

[@sewalongwithjan]

Under the video there is a little cog wheel icon. Make sure the playpack speed in on normal.

[@shirleyherman3459]

Hello Jan
