YIPPEE – no more dies!,
Not a problem any more. I make up my design in Photoshop or Illustrator, print the image, and scan the image into the ScanNCut. I scan my fabric (I’m not a scrapbooker; at least, I’m not yet), position the design where I want it on the fabric, and tell the machine to cut it. WOW – no more wobbly cuts that have to be fixed before they’re appliquéd. And the ability to make any shape – lettering, silhouettes, anything – if I can draw it, I can cut it.
It took me less than an hour to get it set up and figured out. My first project was for my mom – she wanted fabric circles, pinked, in the right size to use as covers for jars of her canned garden produce that she plans to give at Christmas. I drew a circle in Illustrator, added the zigzag effect to get the “pinked” edge, and printed it. I scanned the print on the SnC (BTW, Brother knows this is a pain, and they’re working on making it easier), scanned the fabric, positioned the design on the fabric, and set the machine to cut. This sounds like it must take forever, but, really, it’s faster than drawing the circles on the fabric and cutting them manually with pinking shears. I had the whole bunch finished in about 5 minutes, and they were perfect – lots better than manual cuts.
I think this is a great thing – Brother hits another home run with this one.

Straight out of the box easy to use,
It cuts thicker paper nicely (unlike my Cameo) and it does small detailed cuts really well (which my Cricut cannot always do).
I have tested this machine with stamps.
Fussy cutting elements from pattern paper.
I have cut chipboard and bazzill.
I have welded letters onscreen to form words.
I have scanned in shapes I have found on the internet to make cut files.
I have made cut files from my own handwritten designs.
It has done well at every job. I wish the screen were a bit bigger, and I wouldn’t mind a stickier mat (though using painter’s tape to hold the edges of paper works really well), but all in all and I am thrilled with this machine and I love not having to turn on my computer to use it. I give it 4.5 stars.
