"I drive fast barefoot" love that tee. I am new and learning about scan and cut. This is very helpful. Thanks for putting this video together.

Woo hoo! I know I’m a couple of years behind you guys, but I just got a Scan N Cut DX230. I’m so happy I’ll be cutting out appliqués on this machine, and little pattern pieces like collars and facings, too! Thanks for this fabulous video, Becky! 💗

I'm sold! Now I know why I should spend more and get this machine. Thanks so much for showing that process. I'll get that McKenna Ryan quilt done that's been sitting in my closet for 10 years!!

Oh you are so lovely 😊 My husband just got me one today and I’m feeling the same giddy happiness working with it as you do 😆 It really does an amazing job! Great video

I love my scan and cut dx. A word of advise for those who still have it in the box is take it out and use it before the warranty is expired. I didn't use mine right away but when I did it wouldn't cut completely. I took it to a class and my instructor said to have it serviced. I ended up getting a new machine from Brother because there was an issue with the calibration. The new one works great and my grandson thinks I'm an awesome grandma because we can do so many crafty things with it. 😁

I am a sewing. I always wanting to do appliqué but find it stressful cutting around small pieces. You have finally show me how easy the scan and cut can do, even with heating bond on it. Thank you so much.

I have the 225DXf. I place the fabric on the mat, heat n bond down first, leaving the paper backing on, then do half cut. Works like a dream also. Love your video.

Yesterday I happened upon your video for the machine embroidered composition book cover, and was fascinated -- because I have a new Bernina 770 with the embroidery module. And machine embroidery is totally new to me. I really learned a lot from just that one video. Plus I was drooling over your studio and all your "power tools." So... today, after I opened my newly purchased ScanNCut SDX135 Pro, I started looking at some "newbie" videos. Lo and behold, on the "up next" list, I see that YOU had a video for the ScanNCut! And the reason I got mine is the same reason you like yours - for cutting applique pieces. In my case, I designed a pillow, with applique and quilting, that features a specific camper van. After I made one for myself, everyone in my camper Facebook group wanted me to make one for them. Hmmm... I thought, how could I make this easier, rather than tracing and cutting out 12 different pieces for each pillow, over and over?? Accuquilt? Ugh, custom dies. Cricut? Not sure. And then I found the ScanNCut, which sounded like exactly what I needed. I can scan my own shapes in. Now, my machine has the autoblade that detects the material being cut. And supposedly it will cut up to 3mm of thickness. What I HOPE is that I can cut several pillows' worth of pieces at a time. I was thinking also of using Hotfix Adhesive so that I might not even have to stitch along the edges of the raw-edge applique. By any chance have you tried Hotfix? The steps you showed here are ideal for helping me see how I can proceed with my applique pillow project! Thanks. And any advice or suggestions are welcome!

Thank you so much for this video. Over 10 years ago I was in a quilt shop and saw a beautiful Noah's Ark quilt on the wall. My friends and the owner of the shop convinced me that I could make the quilt. No problems! So I bought the kit. After looking at the instructions I put the kit in a drawer! I have a scan n cut now and after watching your video I feel more confident about cutting out all of the applique pieces to make it. Thanks again!

BECKY Your the GO-TO for down to earth “how to” ……you earned a 10 on this one!!

I do turned hand appliqué and found using their fabric support sheets caused a lot of distortion to the cut fabric on removal from the mat. I now use a freezer paper sandwich on my fabric to stabilize prior to cutting on the low tack mat. Luv your channel!

I bought my scan and cut sdx225 in June just took it out of the box after Joy said take it out of the box. LOL . anyway I watched you last summer using it for applique. I'm in Love with it . Ive not done anything yet but watching all of the videos, I cannot believe everything this machine can do. Blows my mine.

I love my older ScanNcut 350. I do vinyl and applique. It is a little more noisey than the new DX but that is really not a problem for me and I've used various materials to cut and now I know the setting I need for each, but I always do a little test. Becky, you are doing such good informative videos. Thank you.

I'm not a quilter but these instructions are fantastic. Your visuals are great too. I just got my machine and I'm educating myself before I pull it out of the box. Thank you!

I found this video and OMG learned stuff I had NO idea I could do. My scan and cut has been sitting for over a year. Bought it from a dealer and two weeks after i bought it the instructor quit and I never got one class and the Dealer never got someone else. Then six months later the Dealer went out of business. GRRR So here I am with a brand new Scan and Cut and can't do a lot as the few videos out there are not helpful and some are confusing. GRRR. Thanks Becky for this video. You are awesome.

Becky, I've had my machine for about 4 days and this video is invaluable! I can finally work on my applique BOM quilt with ease. Thanks so much for your talent and knowledge.

Thank you so much for this Becky; so many helpful tips for when I start using my ScanNcut to cut fabric. It was really good to see how you got rid of the excess lines.

Great tutorial. I just got a Scan and Cut DX for Christmas (2021) and am trying to figure it out today. Thanks.

I use painters' tape and tape the mat to the table before trying to apply anything to the cutting mat. It keeps it from moving around. Love your videos. I am learning a lot from them. Thanks for sharing.

Unboxed my sdx85m about a month ago and have been spinning my wheels since...this exactly what I was looking for...thank you!

Thanks from a beginner. Smiles from Prescott Valley, AZ, USA.

I've been reluctant to use my Scan n Cut for too long. Thanks for the info, you make it so clear.

I really appreciate this video! I just bought the Scan n Cut DX on sale at my local fabric store (they had a demo a year ago), but I've been reluctant to try it without some instruction! You show it how it is and to just "go forth"! I do so appreciate it! Thank-you!

So glad i've found this tutorial and your channel. I have't cut fabric yet on my SnC. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. I had my scan and cut for a year, and did not know how to use it.Can’t wait to use it now.

Great video and explanation. I have an older Scan n Cut. I am personally tired of applique. Also don't want to be at a computer, I want to sew. I also don't care for the need to prepare fabric before cutting. But I understand the love of this method. Thank you

Im brand new to your channel, I cannot wait to get my Brother scan n cut. Ordered it today from my brother sewing machine dealership. I will be using it for fabrics mostly. I will be following you for more information. Thank you

The best explained video on the Scan n Cut I have seen. I am tossing with the idea for the embroidery machine.

I love how you explain new ideas and products! Thank you!

Thank you for all you down to earth videos. So much info each time.

You make it look so easy. Just got a scanncut and am on the learning curve.

Try florianni appliqué wonder instead of heat and bond. It’s totally amazing. I think it’s better in a lot of ways, no ironing, it is a bit expensive but I think it’s totally worth the money. Thanks dor the video😉😇

Great tutorial! Thank you for making one that is complete for my needs and is less than 20 minutes😊

Great Video. I have a scan and cut purchased a few years ago but found it somewhat confusing to use. You have given me the push I needed to start. Your instructions are great.

Thank you for such an easy to follow informative video. I was always scared as it looked so complicated and I am not tech savy. I quilt (beginner) and also a card maker.This looks like a great machine to have. In Australia they are so expensive so I wanted to be sure that I spent wisely. Thanks from Maleny Queensland Australia.

Nice to see a tutorial for the DX. Even though I use mine for cutting card stock I learnt a lot from this video. I never thought about saving to my computer to clean up the mat. Awesome tip! This will save me so much time from now on. TFS :)

You have the best instructional videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you

Becky - Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! This is exactly why I purchased a Scan’n’Cut DX. I adore McKenna Ryan’s Pine Needle appliqué designs, but with my aging hands, I just couldn’t cut everything anymore. I knew the DX could do this, but knowing and doing are not synonymous. I have been haunting uTube looking for a good explanation, and yours made perfect sense.

I knew I had found a fellow gadget geek. New subscriber!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I haven’t gotten mine out of the box yet, but this will help me. Your videos are GREAT!!

Thanks, Becky, Finally getting around to using my Scan n cut, and this helped me quite a bit. Thank you

Thank you thank you! I was trying to figure out how to fix my patterns after scanning them in when they had all those bits around them!! This will make my life much easier 😁

Can you point me to a tutorial that teaches from the basics. I would love to use canvas but don't know where to start. Thank you in advance. I love the way you described the icons in plain language. It opened up new roads for me to travel Technology!!! Us oldies will get their eventually with the help of people like you!

Very informative video. I need to get my Scan N Cut back out.

Becky, You have got me saving for the Brother Disney Scanncut DX and simply applique. I have never enjoyed hand applique, just started machine applique, and I can't see doing it any other way than the way you are doing it!. I hope Brother sees what you are doing to boost thier sales and they reach out to you.

Hi Becky I am from the UK love your videos I have the ScanNcut I love it and a embroidery machine I quilt all so , I wish we had the quilt shop here you have I would not be a home , keep up with the videos you are a good teacher and they are great Happy New year from the U.k best wishes Carol

Thank you so much the scan n cut was do confusing until I watch you video I am so happy I found you

This was great! My scar & cut is out of the box but hasn’t ben used in a long time so this was very helpful! Thanks 😊

Great teaching as always! I have on the fence scout buying a cutting machine. You helped a lot!😊

Thank you for mentioning the Scan to phone for Silhouette! I had totally forgotten about that function. I have 2 Silhouette machines but have gotten into embroidery in the last year. I am just starting looking in to making things with cut fabric and came looking for information but now I will dive further into my Silhouette functions (AND the Scanner/multifunction printer) that I forgot about BEFORE I go further into possibly getting a whole new machine. Especially since I have so many programs that also do these functions.. just a few steps and spending less money:)

WoW! What an amazing lesson. I've owned the SNC since 2014 have one of the original models which I still use. I do not own the DX but I am going to give this method a try on my machine (saving to USB as it has no wireless on the original) I had not thought about scanning for canvas from paper patterns that's a pretty amazing deal because when you scan from your printer to pdf or image then bring it into other softwares you normally end up with a double line around each shape and have to remove them. I am definitely going to see if that double line is avoided with my older SNC and Canvas. Next, your point on using the fatter areas to lift your fabric is right on, one might have also pointed out that if they try with thinner areas it is easier to "break" that line and the shape ends up in two or more pieces :/ but it's easier to pull it up when you start in the fatter part of the shape. You've definitely gained a new subscriber in me and I'm going to recommend this video when I'm asked in the future about cutting fabric on the SNC. Thank you so much!!

This is the best video I have found on scan and cut thank you 👍

Please keep scan n cut videos coming

Thank you Becky! Love your videos and helpful information, tips, and tricks! Bravo! Keep doing what you do for us and I wish you a blessed and Happy New Year!

Thank you. I have just purchased a new Innov-is XJ1 and it came with this scan and cut. I was wondering what I would use it for. Now I know. I do a lot of applique and this will be perfect for cutting out all my pieces.

I love all of your video's .... you explain everything perfectly!

So want one of these machines so bad. The scan n cut is so so cool.

Thank you so much for this video. You have made me want to purchase a Scan N Cut DX. LOL I want mine to use for cutting vinyl so I can embellish my own t-shirts, like you did for the t-shirt you wore in your video.

Thanks, you are such a good teacher!

love my scan n cut I have a cricut and never used since I got my scan n cut and now I have the scan n cut dx i used my scan n cut dx for all my applique patterns I mostly use my scan n cut for fabric and sew

Fantastic Iam one of those people who own scan n cut but not really used, bit more confidence now

applique quilts are my favorite too, just ordered a scan & cut

Omg this so good, I learned so much. Now I need to go play with my dx. Thanks for all your videos 💗

You are fantastic at explaining things! Thank you! I want one now

love this thanks Becky i have just ordered the rotarty cutting blade for mine cant wait for it to cut as i have not cut any fabric so far and thats what i bought my cm900 to use for back in 2017 yeah i know lol xx thanks for this xx

Thanks for the first video I found that actually taught me something. I have a ScanNCut CM650W. It's out of the box on a table in my sewing room, but never used. It's been there for two or three years. I'm not sure when I bought it. I love to appliqué quilts and this will make it so much more fun and faster.

u do well on your video info. very thorough thanku

Love my SNC650WX. It really struts it’s stuff when cutting a detailed Henna image from HTV. Intricate and always perfect. I also make decals for my son’s airplanes from Oracal651. Perfect. Great for appliqué too but so much more. Congrats on your new DX. Happy 2😊2🙂, Becky.

Great tutorial . Good ways to use scan n cut canvas

Hi Becky. Happy New Year from Indiana. Thanks so much for the videos that you make. I've been quilting for a couple years and have done some applique but have wanted to do more. Cutting by hand is a bore and takes too much time. My brain won't stay interested...it starts planning and designing all the future things it wants to make. lol ;) Was trying to decide between the big 3 and stumbled across your channel....LOVE IT!!! You're such a hoot!! Well, thanks to your information, I have decided that SNC DX225 is perfect for my needs, wishes and future dreams. I want to start with applique but know I will probably get into vinyl for some wall decor and as the grand-babies arrive I'm sure we will get into all kinds of fun crafts. Now...to save the money and go visit local dealer in town that I never knew was here. Currently using a Babylock Solaris & Palette 11 and hope it will work with my what I have. I hate to buy more software if it isn't needed. Learning one piece of software is enough. LOL

I use my scan n cut for applique also love it don't really use it for paper or anything else mostly for sewing love it so much

Watched again, do you have a KZfaq that shows me how to make my embroidery file appliqué into a file on the scan n cut. You would be so proud of me I used my scan n cut for the first time this week. Don’t ask how long it has sat in the box. It is old

Enjoyed watching. Happy New Year!

i had a225 scan and cut and i couldnt get it to cut anything,,,cleaned and reglued the boards,,,it was horrible for me so i had to get rid of it,,,,and i only got the scan n cut just for applique,,,,as i have alot of the anita good designs,,,and love your vids

That was awesome I have hardly use my Scan n Cut

This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much. Cleaning up all the extra scan lines in the canvas workspace is brilliant. So helpful!

Thank you! Great tip for clearing the mat!

excellet presentation. Thanks!

Hi fab video, but not sure why you attached the high tack support sheet to your mat, you only need that for cutting unbounded fabric. If you are using HNB ironed onto the back of fabric you can cut it perfectly on a sticky regular mat. Just put HNB side down on the mat also no need to mirror images. Hope that helps

Now I want one!! Thanks

You know the black lines that you got would not show up if you tear the edges of the paper ragged. The lines are straight cuts. Learned this in printing industry....of course its always fun to play with canvasworks.

Great tips

Yay! Who knew I would EVER need this. Nice to have an Expert SNC friend! (-: Great tut!

Well I finally purchased a Scan and Cut in April. Unboxed it and set it on the table. Tonight I thought I would try to scan and cut an object. I scanned my object (the outline of my mini iron). I saved it to the Scan and Cut. I didn’t go to the canvas because I haven’t set it up yet. I have a thin silicone coaster that I plan to cut the iron shape out of. When I went to scan it was told to switch the lever to 2 because of the thickness, I did. When I go to view I can’t see mine object scanned over the silicone because the silicone is black. So I was just going to wing it but I keep getting a message “attached appropriate holder” what in the world is that? Also there are two blades one gold and one black on the top but there is nothing that tell me what the difference is. I looked at the bottom and the black one has a larger whole, so I was using that. Figured it was for heavier items. I mostly plan to use this for sewing but do plan to try other things. I even purchased the ever expensive Playbook. It has a card that is supposed to have a USB with projects but I guess I’ll have to call Albrands and ask how it works.

I love your intro music

Hey Becky, this is Eve... I sound like Joy 😂. You are such a wonderful teacher. Are you teaching classes in the quilt shops you visit? You are good. Thank you so much.

Becky -- Loved your presentation and although I have a Silhouette Cameo, I want to invest in a ScanNCut. Most of my project will be smaller than a bed quilt and so I love the ability to put multiple fabrics with the shapes to cut on the same mat. Since new models are coming out, can you recommend the best model for this type of ScanNCut? Thanks!

Great video.

Great tutorial.

I got my DX for my birthday back in August and it is still in the box🤦‍♀️ thanks for the tutorial maybe I’ll get brave and open it

You are so sharp! I had to go Cameo due to lack of Internet ....Cameo Is all in a computer program.

Love you videos - save me more than once. Working on a quilt now using my scan n cut. how do you clean your fabric mat? having issues with the fabric coming off onto it. Making a memorial quilt from my Mom's clothing. Thanks ;-)

OMG!!!! This video was FANTABULOUS!!! thank you for such a thorough and candid overview with hands on showing all the steps! I've been planning on getting a scanncut for over a year now, hubz is even on board, but I'll have to start with the CM350e before I can model-up! If you see this comment and have a chance to reply, any concerns about the 350e??

Hi Becky, Thanks for explaining the scan and cut . I am considering buying one for doing applique also. My question is about scanning the pattern into the machine. On your pattern you are doing is multi layered. Do you need to cut it into small pieces or not for scanning the images. Can you scan the whole pattern in just like it is( other than it is too big for one scan.) Will you be able to move the pattern pieces around separately once it is in the scan and cut? I hope you can understand my question. Thank you for your help. You do a great job teaching. Happy Retirement.

Question about ScanN&cut( can you take an appliqué design such as MAMA and cut the letters out on this machine off of then machine embroidery design so it cuts it out prior to the embroidery? I have the hardest time cutting around the letters after I embroidery them.

Awesome 👏🏾

Do you have to use Heat N Bond or can you use the Steam A Seam 2 fusible

Question, I just got a scan and cut for my birthday today. The directions only show the small tray on the back pulling out, but it looks like the larger tray on the back pulls out also, but mine is sticking on one side and the directions don’t show the second larger tray pull out.

Thanks Betty I was wandering what this machine can do. I think I will buy one

Isn’t there a fabric mat? I’m lost where you put done the sticky paper with the green backing? Is this sold by brother?
