Brother Scan N Cut part 1: paper scanning/cutting

[@apryllx6125]

Thank you for the review. My sweetie gave me the Scan 'N Cut as a Christmas gift, and I'll admit to opening it a little before the holiday (like 3 weeks before!) A couple of tips. #1 After the mat has lost the stickiness, use a 1/2" piece of tape, either blue painters tape or clear tape on each corner. This will hold your paper down enough so that it won't slip around. #2 Keep your paper inside the 12" x 12" narrow blue lines. Otherwise the rollers won't move the mat correctly.

[@craftychica]

Nice review! About the mats - I'm an active user of this machine and love it. At first the mat is very tacky, I pressed a piece of paper on it a couple times and lifted and it made it just right. NOW, there will come a time when the mat loses its tack - in that case, I use a bit of Tacky Repositionable Spray on the back of the paper (or on the mat itself) and it works like a charm. I also use an old gift card and rub the paper to the mat so it sticks well.

[@TheFrontyardgarden]

What kind of tacky spray do you use? These mats are getting expensive

[@crafttestdummies]

Gabrielle Mays I use a quilt basting spray OR a repositionable spray adhesive. Either work OK.

[@naticristellavi8236]

When are you having the comparison video head-to-head comparison of scanning & cutting with your machines? Which ScanNCut model do you have? Thank you.

[@lisacrawshaw3992]

Thank you so much for making this video, I've had my Scan n Cut (model CM110) for years... and it's stayed in the cupboard I've been really hesitant to use it. Today I've sat down and gone through the steps several times, with a little bit more practice the cupboard for my machine might be a thing of the past :)

[@galoreah]

Got my Scanncut today and opened it as you opened yours and tried it just as you were showing how to use it. PERFECT! Thank you!

[@LuisLopez-wm5oh]

Thanks for the demos Jenny, very helpful since I am a begineer with this machine, I am graphic designer and expect a lot from this lil toy! :D

[@anitrabennett]

Awesomely done. Darn Brother for bringing new cooler toys 1month after you bought a shillouette

[@gretchenvandevort7485]

I bought the scan n cut I am a new craftier most what I use are die cuts stamps and punches. I make cards.I thought this would be so great I need lots of help.Like your tutorials very helpful. So much I want to do.Thanks

[@sewfunnytoys]

I have used my SnC quite a bit now since getting it about 3 weeks ago. First of all if you expect to get great results you MUST use the plastic spatula that came with the unit or you will not get good results, as you found out in this video. Also you will have better experience with using the device when you follow the directions as listed in the manual as I can attest to as well. The low-tack mat I use a lot & am fairly pleased with repeated use & the level of tacky-ness it has. I notice you loaded the machine after you touched the load button; I load my mat & get everything ready & do not press on the mat while it is loading & that is a tremendous help in getting it to perform the best.

[@LindaLap]

I have had a very frustrating weekend trying to use my Silhouette to scan and cut stamped images. Sometime it worked great other times not so good. Now they have the Brother 2 I am so confused. Off to number 2 video.

[@shotokankaratedo6155]

Question on different vinyl stencil material for shirts or cloth. Will roll vinyl better for stenciling images for sport shirts like soccer would be recommended? Would Brother machine is able to handle several team shirts?

[@stampinwithalohajoyceb9310]

Thank u for reviewing. At first I really wanted this for fussy cutting stamped images but I see that it needs to be refined. I'll wait for future version and continue to save up for a Silouette.

[@junbug1029]

I want this, mainly for cutting stamped images. I'll probably wait for the 2nd generation machine so the bugs can be worked out. Thank you!

[@crafttestdummies]

This tutorial may help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ3Zm32Gl7FsgNk

[@junbug1029]

Thank you!

[@Aljobritt]

Thank you for making this video you were very kind to explain each step slow enough for me to comprehend. Thank you again!

[@arthouse2030]

I recently viewed all the videos at the Brother website & then saw the machine in action at the Houston Quilt Festival. Of course things like the lack of mat stickiness were never mentioned. Thank you for bringing that up & also the fact that it did not always read the objects correctly (butterflies) was also helpful. I thought perhaps there would be less of a learning curve on this machine than the Silhouette. I don't have any electronic machine but had seen the Silhouette Cameo at my local Archivers when they first got it in. The clerk said it had a steep learning curve. Didn't feel I had the patience for that. However the cost of the Silhouette is almost half that of the Brother. (Was never interested in a Cricket after reading all the negative reviews on various sites) Guess I'll stick with my metal dies & Big Shot for now. I would enjoy seeing what else the Brother can do with things such as fabric, embossing, cutting different thickness, etc. as compared to the Silhouette. Maybe one day I will venture into the electronic dept. of paper/fabric crafting. Videos such as yours will certainly weigh heavily in my future decisions. Thank you for all your unbiased reviews. They are really quite helpful & informative. Keep up the good work!

[@rabidsmiles]

Will it cut fleece? I make stuffed toys out of fleece and was wondering if it would cut my pattern out for me so I don't have to sit for hours cutting each piece out.

[@anamanique6686]

Thank for the review, please help me I lost everything that came with the machine moving house and now I don't know how to buy what I need to cut foam and hard card.

[@garynicolls525]

I haven't used my scan n cut yet and I an a bit nervous about it. thanks for the video. I gather from create and craft uk. that if your mat is nor sticky enough you should spray your paper with tempory adhesive spray. please don't spray the mat as it gums up the rollers and other parts of the machine. thanx.

[@EstelaSelby]

You made the explanation on how to use the Scan N Cut machine alone very clear and seems easy enough. But what is Scan N Cut Canvas for? I cannot seem to get the two to communicate. Do they?

[@txchic74]

Yes I would love to see how it cut stamped images... Tks love watching your vids!!

[@crafttestdummies]

OK! Will do!

[@lindacolgan8577]

I would like to know if you can get designs from silhouette and use thus machine to cut them out. Also like to know rhe answer to your guestion of where do you get designs? Thank you so, linda

[@judymooreperezful]

I use a rolling pin (from my kitchen, the thing that spread dough) to stick the paper to the mat. I also clean the mat and the plastic cover with baby wipes (no alcohol) before I put it away for the day.

[@beauti60]

Thank you again for what you show, as I have a Brain Injury, it really helps me, so I can keep going back and checking what you have said again Thank you

[@ulyssesmama]

I would like to see you stamp an image and then cut it...could it eliminate buying dies?

[@sunnybunny222]

thanks for doing the demo video. will it cut photos? for example, if i have a picture of my dog and i want to cut it out and also make it have a layer say for her head, how would i do that?

[@crafttestdummies]

This machine is not built for cutting "layers" the way the Cricut images are.

[@crafttestdummies]

And yes it will cut through photo paper.

[@eugenapearl7155]

I enjoyed the video. I'm confused about which mat to use for the different projects.

[@gloriaharvey3193]

Thank you for responding so quick , I am still working on scanning and being able to make multi cuts of one item .

[@ssharp11]

I would like to see it cut a scanned stamped image. Can you put a shadow around a stamped image and then cut the shadowed stamped image? Can you weld images together? Does it make a difference in cutting out a scanned stamped image if it is stamped in green vs black vs other color inks? Is there clip art specifically for this machine? Just curious. I have a cricut and silhouette so not really in the market for a new machine at present. Thanks for the great video. Hugs, susan

[@crafttestdummies]

Susan- make sure you check my follow-up videos! I have that very thing up now. :)

[@mikehartung1627]

Hi, so when you cutter gets dull where do you buy replacements? Can you still buy them in 2020?

[@dlwrules]

One of the things I like about Cricut cartridges is that they have designs in layers. How does one replicate that with this machine? For example, let's say you have a heart shaped background and you want to put a skinny silhouette outline on top? You have to have separate artwork for that, right?

[@elainedaniels6541]

Best demo I have seen yet. Good work.

[@sarahhunt-laster2833]

I just got my machine today. I was a little confused on how to use it because the printed directions are not clear and I have never used a Cricut or other Die cut machine before. Your video was very helpful. I thought I was doing something wrong because things didn't stick to the sheets very well so I'm glad to see it wasn't just me. I think I'm going to love this because I do want to cut out my own designs. Thanks again! Oh, and to answer below. You can move stuff from your PC using the flash drive. When you search for the image you want, you have access to the flash drive to pull images. I would guess the possibilities are endless. One more thing.. my machine came from Amazon for $399 and did include both blades and both mats.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

I just unboxed my BSnC2. I'm excited to use it but I can't get it to cut. I called customer service and they instructed me to take the cap cover off, which I did, placed it in the blade holder, set it at 12 but can barely see the blade. I ran the cut 2 times but nothin'. Did you find this problem?

[@wowser1100]

I do some amateur bookbinding. Will the cutter cut out patterns on goatskin and sheepskin which are about 1 - 1.5mm thick. Also will it cut out buckram and similar materials? How often do you have to change the blades and are they expensive. Many thanks for your help.

[@crafttestdummies]

+Colin Smith Colin- I have seen samples of the SNC with leather, but have not tried that myself. Buckram should be easy. As for the blades and cost, that is dependent on the thickness of the materials you cut and your location. I suggest Googling that. :)

[@wowser1100]

Many thanks for that I shall look into it further.

[@Amosmagee1]

Does the other machine Cricut Explore Air 2 Also scans personal items are different images that you want to as well ?

[@chantalida53]

I thank you very much for this video, I just discoved this scan'ncut. I am a quilter and I am interested in cutting fabric for applique, Is the sticking support very expensive and I would know as well if once the fabric with the sticking stabilizer stuck on another fabric is remaining soft, not like cardboard. Sorry for my english, I hope you have understood what I meant. Thank you so much.

[@crafttestdummies]

You'll need to stabilize the fabric with iron-on fusible (Misty Fuse is very soft) or a spray stabilizer like Terial Magic.

[@Dredworld]

Can this machine create a crystal template like the cameo cutter?

[@Fancylooks]

I would like to know if you can print designs from a computer, like say from Illustrator, has it got a drive for that? I also would love to know if it can cut 2mm thick craft foam. In fact, I would love to know if you can cut that with the Silhouette Cameo if you know.

[@crafttestdummies]

It doesn't print- only scans. There is a pen holder for drawing, but it's on back order. As for 2mm foam....hmmm. Not optimistic, but I'll try it.

[@Fancylooks]

CraftTestDummies Oh, I am sorry I didn't express my question right, I wanted to know if you can cut (sorry, I wrote print and is a wrong word) shapes from Illustrator as well, like the silhouette SD can, for example.

[@crafttestdummies]

Manualideas Fancylooks They have released a software so you can cut SVG files. I haven't been able to test it out if the conversion works, though.

[@Fancylooks]

CraftTestDummies Thank you very much, i see it is a very complete machine then, it looks fantastic, I love that you can scan shapes from one paper and cut in another like you do with that wolf.

[@cbbosse]

CraftTestDummies it did a great job on the craft foam, i have made a lot of Halloween decorations with it, and they are turning out quite well. you do need to use the deep cut blade and not very detailed designs.

[@capriceoliver7848]

I enjoyed your video. I do have a question, I have some paper with wording on it. what i'd like to do is cut out the wording in a shape. I'm not sure how, nd I've not seen it on any videos. any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@carolyndavis5394]

Just learned about the Brother cutting machine. I wondered what the mat size is?

[@crafttestdummies]

+Carolyn Davis The cutting area of the mat is 12X12. The mat itself is larger, although I'm not sure what matter that makes.

[@Chraligar]

Can this machine cut like a rainbow and say you want different colors can you do a ungrouping for the layers. I want a machine I can take to crops and not be at a computer after you put your svg file an dsave to the machine will it ungroup. Or is it you can only ungroup with canva software. I don't see any videos about people say making a pumpkin and doing different colors for the picture like the cameo does but your hooked to a computer. thanks christin

[@Homemadebybabygirl]

Hello i purchased a used brother cut and scan and was looking for a way to program the machine. or do I even need to connect it to my wifi. I wanted this machine because Im not computer literate I love the scan and cut feature. Thanks for sharing.

[@crafttestdummies]

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by program the machine? It’s pretty straightforward as you scan in your design and then you can save it or cut it out immediately. If you want to use the software you do need to go online for that.

[@IrishRuss12]

I have and easy one, I just need to cut 1/2 x 1/2 up to 9/16x9/16 cardboard(chipboard) pieces for gaming purposed. Will this do that?

[@CraftyAuntNan]

I'm so glad you are reviewing this machine. I'd love to get one when my budget allows

[@eliagron8750]

I want to lear how to use the Canvas software after I upload the svg image? How can I modify the image, like delete parts that I do not want to use or parts that I want to change? Thanks, Oh, I have the ScanNcut2

[@dawnryan7]

can you use the cricut mats in the brother machine ? also I had heard and I tried it when the mats loose their sticky if you wash It with mild dish soap I used ajax and then just let it air dry guess what,,,,,, new sticky mat !!!!!!

[@crafttestdummies]

No- you cannot use those mats. The ScanNCut mat has special registrations on it that enable it to "see" where it's cutting. Thanks for the cleaning tip!

[@dawnryan7]

Ok thanks for letting me know

[@munchkinheaven4880]

The stylus fits in the scan drawer behind the scan window, when you pop up the scan window the stylus fits behind it so when not in use it’s underneath the scan window so you cannot lose it

[@BearyWishes]

Thanks for the video. Where can this machine be purchased in Canada? Thx

[@crafttestdummies]

Beary- you'll have to google that.

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

Do you think it is easier to use than the Silhouette? I still am trying to learn how to use that! I find it difficult b/c you have to use the computer with it and the Brother Scan N Cut looks to be easier since you don't have to use a computer! What do you think?

[@crafttestdummies]

+Southern Angel Btq. Tammy Dameron (Southern Angels Boutique) I just responded to your question on the other video, but I'll answer here too (in case other folks want the answer as well.) So here's the deal- if you love the Silhouette, just get the PixScan mat for $14 bucks! (I have a video on that, too.) The SNC is really for folks who are computer-averse. I think the SNC is more for digital die-cutting beginners, and the Silhouette is a more advanced machine.

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

It really is more advanced and that is the challenge for me!! I had thought the scan n cut would be much easier to use!!

[@1craftygal156]

I like most of the comments want to see how it cuts stamped images. I do not like to fussy cut and thought of buying until I saw the price. Hope you can show that it could cut any stamped image. Thank you

[@gloriaharvey3193]

CraftTestDummies 10/11/2015 Hell-o i am trying to make some Christmas cards and i have found a cute snowman die but trying to duplicate to make about 25 images without sitting and using the die cut each time can i scan and cut image, i used white paper should i use black paper as a background to make white show up better???? looking forward to hear from you Gloria

[@crafttestdummies]

+Gloria Harvey Yes! Cut it out from black paper and it will show up on the white mat better. Or tape a white die cut on a piece of black paper and scan it through. The machine needs the contrast to "see."

[@xcellone12]

hello, I have a question will this scan and cut a printed 11x17 inkjet printed heat transfer paper?

[@IraQNid]

Do you still have this machine? If so what solution did you come up with for their mats?

[@tynaheadrick-phipps6768]

I would love to see you scanning photographs and then seeing the printed output. I do understand that this machine does not print, but I would still like to see what the quality of a scanned photo would look like. Loved the video!

[@crafttestdummies]

Great idea. I did scan a photo and will print it out for you and include it in the next review!

[@graceforever12]

Are you saying that the SNC has printing capabilities?

[@Dredworld]

Can you cut out crystal application templates, like the Cameo cutter?

[@crafttestdummies]

They just came out with this feature, Millie! We took a video of the demo they did at CHA 2015. It's in that playlist! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnbUiopufauMftU

[@TheMountainbobcat]

My question is, how do you change the actual blade in the blade (cylinder) holder. thanks

[@forsalebymb]

i know this is an old video and i and always years past an item coming before i get the money to huy one...lol....but now that its been view years do you find that it's worth the money and do you use it a lot. after you got use to it was it easier to use.

[@forsalebymb]

damn....i can spell ...lol...using phone and auto check thinks it knows what i really wanted to type..... oh.... after having it all this time, do you wish you never bought it or are you glad you did?

[@robinbell8846]

I am having a huge learning curve with this. I own Brother Embroidery machines and software and have used them with the greatest of ease but this really is quite the challenge. I am not having luck scanning in an image when the image is on colored card stock. I have created some text that is outlined with a Christmas tree, I use the draw to draw first, then I scan again to then cut out just the Christmas tree outline only. because this is on green card stock my image is so faint that it's not picking up the image. I have gone into tools and tried turning off the background, making it lighter and making it darker, to no avail. I'm wondering why this image is so poor. I don't see a light go on inside like a typical scanner. Do you think I have something wrong with my scan n cut?

[@crafttestdummies]

Robin- I wish I could stand over your shoulder to see and help! :/

[@beriemab]

I would use this to fussy cut stamped images for card making or scrapbooking. Would love to see you test out various stamps like ones that have more and less details. Or stamps that you have already colored in vs plain. Thanks so much. - Bettina

[@crafttestdummies]

Will do! Great idea and I'll put that in the follow-up video.

[@SamanthaWilsonn]

How does this machine work with making appliques?

[@SuperWillSun]

Hi Jenny! Could I make use of the Scan N Cut if I have a Cricut Expression? They seem very similar. Thank you for your time! :-)

[@SuperWillSun]

Nevermind! I bought a ScanNCut and sold my Expression! :-) I'm very happy about my decision.

[@overtime2218]

I really liked the video. I'm thinking about buying one and watching it was a great help. Thank you so much for making a GREAT review and video.

[@ankurjhaveri9773]

That's a nice video! Wanted to know if I can adjust the depth of my cut; I have a thicker paper/fabric that needs to be cut, so how do I adjust the needle? Also, how do I make sure it's not deep enough to cut through the mat?

[@crafttestdummies]

Ankur- There are depth settings on the blade. I've cut through my mat before, so I suggest that you start with a base depth of 3 or 4, then increase gradually until you find the right depth for your material.

[@LUSH40AU]

Can u cut light woods and fondant on it

[@crafttestdummies]

wood veneers, yes- but it's not labeled for food use. The Cricut Cake was specially made for that.

[@darylbarkley8940]

I just purchased the Brothers "Design and Cut"- Do you know if - it's better than the Scan and Cut?- Trying to decide on keeping it or not

[@beauti60]

I see that you were on last in Dec 17 2013, not sure if you are still doing this sort off thing as having trouble with blade setting

[@LilStampBug]

I am a stamper cardmaker and I bought a cricut create like 4 years ago and literally have barely used it. Now that most stamp sets are coming with dies so u don't have to fussy cut, that's great but an extra $15-$25 on top of the stamp set is ridiculously expensive! I've been researching both the scanncut and silhouette and am trying to decide which one to get. Can you help me decide??? Do u have the silhouette as well Jenny? I know in the long run it will save me money and I can do really neat things with either. I don't want another cricut cuz having to buy cartridges with images I may not use is a waste an I also don't want a monthly charge. Help Anyone????

[@LilStampBug]

Craft Test Dummies

[@crafttestdummies]

Lil StampBug You can use the Pix Scan mat with the Silhouette and get it to cut out your stamped images. The Scan & Cut is easier to use, and is great if you don't like to use a computer. If you are computer-savvy and want access to an extensive library of designs that are very economical- about $1 each, then the Silhouette is better for you. I'll do a head-to-head comparison of scanning & cutting in late April.

[@Dixielynn52]

It will take SVGs as they have a software update that will do so. That is why I am considering it. Stampin up has a software program ( MSD STUDIO) and you can export anything to SVG or to AI. Just a note.

[@mum244]

great explained demo still cant get the scan n cut to cut pre printed decouparge

[@crafttestdummies]

Sally- if the paper is "busy"- ie, no set foreground and image- it's going to have hard time "seeing" it. You can also play with the settings to try improve the scans.

[@mum244]

thankyou for your time to comment wish u where here regards sally im usless at thinking outside the box as they say

[@mrsm5481]

Can it cut plastic? Like mylar?

[@NancyLynn]

I'd really like to know how it performs with stamped images AND does it scan stamped images that are colored? What I basically want this machine for is to replace having to buy expensive dies that go with the stamped images. I do know from watching other YT videos that if the design of the stamp has any "broken" lines, ie like a faux stitching, that the SNC machine does not recognize the image. As well, how many times can you use those tacky mats when cutting images, as they are $25.00 for the Standard Mat on Amazon.ca AND is there another mat that could be used on this machine? My apologies if I've asked too many questions but I am on a disability pension so if I did decide to purchase this machine, it will take me a year to save up for it. Thanks so much for your review....really appreciate it!

[@crafttestdummies]

+Nancy Lynn Nancy- I'm hoping you have watched my videos on stamped images with the SNC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ3Zm32Gl7FsgNk Also- no, you can not use another mat with this machine, but you can make it tackier by spraying it with repositionable basting spray. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYWohYKBjpifb8k

[@520sera]

this is great thanks jenny, i find your tutorials very easy to follow, thanks, i am waiting for mine to arrive, my question that i have is, i want an image from my critcut cartridge summer in Paris, the Eiffel tower, is the image, how would i get that image to the CNS machine, the overlay of the eiffel tower on the critcut takes forever, I am hoping i find a way to cut this image on the CNS machine and save me time, i hope you can help me thanks again jenny for all your tutorials

[@crafttestdummies]

Sera- You'd need to cut the image out with your cricut, then scan it into the ScanNCut and save it as a file. Not sure it's going to save you any time at all.

[@DenekiLakes]

Can you use regular printer paper?

[@2JobsStillPoorUSA]

I would like to see another review after you have gotten past your learning experiences. And I would like to know if this would cut thin-ish leathers

[@crimobabelweb7666]

Bonjour Jennie ! And for experience feedback, a useful video. Concerning the support, there is an optional support which seems to hang a little more for information. As for me, I have a question that requires your lights if you want to inform me. What is the maximum thickness allowed by this machine? Unable to find info on the net! I want to make fine cardboard packaging (such as a toothpaste packaging, or this kind of packaging) Thank you again ;)

[@deeclarkson903]

I was wondering if you can scan in one design and then multiply it without scanning it again.

[@sweetsue1963]

I am just learning about this machine.. apparently the blue machine comes with more pictures in the machine.. and better mats

[@crafttestdummies]

Mats are the same.

[@loishuffman4710]

can you print multiples. like if I want 25 flowers, can I put 1 flower down and get 25.

[@robinbell8846]

If you haven't found out how yet I can tell you. There are a few steps and it's late. Reply back if you'd like to know still.

[@angelaballou1715]

The possible application of this machine fussy cutting stamp images intrigues me. I have never owned a die-cutting machine of any sort so I apologize if this question is common knowlegde: will this cut a peice of paper that has an adhesive back? Like if I apply Scor-Tape to the back of a sheet of paper (without removing the other protective barrier), will this gunk up the blade? Will it cut at all? Fussy cutting is one thing; trying to adhere the delicate image is another.

[@crafttestdummies]

Angela- the only issue with applying adhesive first (like scor-tape or xyron) is that then it won't adhere to the sticky mat. I've never had it gunk up the blade, but those paper liners are silicon-coated and so they don't stick to the mat. Better to cut first, and then run it through a Xyron.

[@sroberts1742]

How is it with fabric?

[@mrsdizi1234]

up the blade size to cut thicker materials. works great.

[@tigriswillreign]

I'd like to see the draw function. Does it come with a marker/pen?

[@crafttestdummies]

Dana- there IS a marker/pen holder, but it's on backorder. I'll let you know as soon as I get it in and try it out.

[@crafttestdummies]

Dana Nelson- make sure you check out my follow-up video using the drawing pens!

[@MyMeriArt]

OK watched Part 1. I agree with you the best feature of this machine is its ability to pre-scan the background and allow you to choose where on the base to do the cut. (If I understood correct.) Have never seen that before -- that is nice. Also re the newbie errors, no sweat IMHO, we are all newbies with newer technologies -- and learning from each other. One more question if you happen to be reading this (;0) -- I understand one of the features of this machine is its standalone capability (not connected to the computer). Do they at least give you an option to do that?? I like a standalone capability, but ability to connect would also be nice.

[@crafttestdummies]

Right now there is no connectivity. You can download SVG files onto a USB and then transport to the SNC, but that is all.

[@lynjeaful]

Very helpful video. I've been looking at this machine, and was wondering if there were bugs to work out of it. I'll probably wait for the second generation to come out before sinking some big $$ into it.

[@jeanieferretti4203]

Thank you for this video. I want to buy a machine but not sure which one.

[@pause.and.refresh]

can you cut tissue paper or cloth like paper in the scan and cut ??

[@crafttestdummies]

I've never had any luck with tissue in ANY machine that uses a sticky mat- it's too delicate and will tear. As for cloth-like paper, I'll try it. I have some stick-backed canvas I'll put through the next round.

[@proinvestor7209]

Hi, This machine can cut vinyl adhesive material?

[@artbarnstudiocreston1916]

What model is this exactly? Is it #2?

[@alannahflower405]

does this cut felts?

[@deborahanne9793]

Can you cut your image in an oval shape, just like if you were putting an oval die around and image and cutting it? Thank you

[@crafttestdummies]

Yes, and I actually did that technique in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6q9nax5arejotE You just position one image inside the other! It's very simple.

[@deborahanne9793]

Thank you,. Do you still use a die cut machine as well?

[@dylanv4482]

can you use this with vinyl heat transfer paper?

[@crafttestdummies]

Dylan V yes

[@jiswtlat46]

Can you put a 1.5mm thick magnetic paper through this printer?

[@crafttestdummies]

Not a printer. It's a cutting machine.

[@kendrakeeley6220]

Hi, Can it cut multiple items all on the same mat?

[@crafttestdummies]

Sure can. Just place your images where you want on the screen, and it will cut them out on the same place on the mat. You can even load the mat with different papers to make it more efficient.

How it cuts more detailed paper images that have not been scanned yet

[@crafttestdummies]

Nick- so you want to see more detailed cuts? Not sure there is artwork that is more detailed, but I'll see!

[@bluebeads47]

Yes please, I would like to know how it cuts maybe, flowery swirls especially on patterned paper, Thanks

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Would definitely drive me to drink. Thank you. Proves my innate fear of cutting machines.

how does it work on scannig your own desigs ad cuttig them out

Did you see the wolf I scanned and cut? Or what kind of designs are you talking about?

[@slimdiva123]

CraftTestDummies what about a drawing that I do myself. I did see the wolf and I guess that does answer my question. i have been drawing paper dolls just wondered if it could scan the image store it and cut as many as I wanted.

[@crafttestdummies]

Gailavon Galloway You could scan a doll, create a cut file, and then use it over and over. However, it might be just as easy to draw your doll, and then do "scan to cut" so that it's unique to each doll. Does that make sense?

CraftTestDummies THANK YOU!

Does it cut vinyl

[@Moesha12100]

I'm not having any success with any cutting. I've tried different blades and pressures. I bought the Rhine stone set and sticker maker. I'm pretty bummed out. I spent over 500$ and haven't been able to cut anything!

Is there a reason you are not using the scanning mat to scan?
