    I just got a new SNC and it's the DX 330D model Inovis Ready. My old SNC has mats that are less sticky and I had a fabric mat on it that was just right for my process of Steam A Seam Lite 2. I peal the paper off the piece of fusible and adhere it onto the back of my fabric piece and press it so the the fusible transfers to the back of the fabric. Then I put my pieces of fabric on my mat and scan it with the file that I made in Canvas Workspace with my applique pieces (not mirrored). I make sure the file pieces that are fabric have all the shapes that are needed in the applique on the corresponding pieces of fabric and hit cut. I use a setting of 5 on my blades. No real problem, but the new mats are DX and they are crazy sticky. I will not get used to it for my work. I am considering stripping a sticky DX mat and adding Zig to it for the less sticky. I got no training in the new SNC DX and that rotary blade really tore up my fabric.Ugh

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  2 года назад +1

      That rotary blade is really for cutting things like lace or other odd fabric where an angular cut might be made such as making a flower out of organza. I don't have one and don't think I need it since I mostly use it for cutting quilting cottons. I don't recommend doing an un-sticky on your DX mats. I have an old CM model too so I get where you're coming from. Since I made this video, I switched out to adding HeatNBond Lite to the back of my fabrics (adhere it VERY well) and then using the teal low tack mat with fabric side up, HNB side down (no paper). That seems to work the best for me. If you use the purple or gold mats, you want to mirror the image and put fabric face down, HNB side up (paper on). The gold mat isn't made to be used with a substrate at all. I rarely use mine.

    • @karenlynnwheeler
      @karenlynnwheeler 2 года назад

      @@PowerToolsWithThread interesting about the rotary blade. I was told upon purchase to only use it for quilting fabric. It is what to use. I noticed on a smooth undulating circle it chattered up and down like it was going into a fit! I removed the blade and put into the autoblade. It really cut and the problem was my paper down on the mat was sliding. So failure!!! I pushed it to the back and pulled out my trusty older working model and cut as usual.

    Thank you. This was an excellent tutorial.

The purpose of doing this is so there isn't any show through on the lighter fabrics on the dark background (I'm doing the Nativity Bench Pillow).
    My inclination is to put the fusible backing on and then put Heat n Bond Lite over it. Will that work or will it be too thick? Thank you

      Depending on your SNC model number, some machines will not cut on a 24" mat. Only some scan the 24" mat, some will cut on it but not scan it, and some won't scan or cut on it. So the mat length determines the fabric length.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  3 года назад

      Actually they replaced it with the 225F (F is for fabric) and they want you to use the gold blade and gold fabric mat. The 125 doesn't have to be purchased at a dealer and has many less features than a 225 that were important to me. I'll put a link below to all of the differences between the 125 & 225. But if you can get a 225, go for it. It's identical to the 225F with different accessories included in the box. Be sure to get a deal!

    Do the cut files must be a bit bigger than the actual placement stitch, to avoid correctly fitting fabric? I hope that makes sense lol
    I do embroidery on shirts and I do so many the same designs daily, if I can have fabric ready it would be awesome 🤩

    • @PowerToolsWithThread

      If you use the inflate feature on the placement line to 1.0, it seems to fit perfectly. I've been playing with it a lot since this video and I find that an inflate of 1.0 fits better than the default 1.5. Have fun!

    Becky, are the gold fabric mats only for the new models?
    My SNC2 has sticky sheets to put on top of old mats. It would be nice if there was something easier, but I can't imagine them going back to make something for such an older model.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  3 года назад

      Unfortunately, I think they are only available for the newer models. They have about the same stickiness as the FSS on the purple mats when the FSS is brand new.

    I don't understand why you overlapped the material on the heat and bond. Is it so that no heat and bond shows and therefore does not stick to something else?

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  3 года назад

      Right, the less HnB on the parchment paper, the better. It can and does come off on it just a bit at times so it's better to cover as much as the HnB as possible from the start.

    Thanks for this tutorial. I do have a question about flipping to mirror image. I noticed you choose flip horizontally. Would flip vertically work for mirroring too? I'm wondering if sometimes that would make more sense based on the shape? Also, at my age... I think I will always be asking myself horizontal or vertical. It would be nice to know if it doesn't really matter.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  3 года назад +1

      That is a fabulous question! Flipping horizontal will give you a mirror image which is what you need for the applique cut files. If you just flip vertical, that's only top to bottom and won't give the correct alignment as a mirror image which you need a left to right flip to make it correct. :) So yes, it matters. Always flip horizontally.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  Год назад

      You can.... but you'd need an embroidery stitch editor like Embrilliance Enthusiast to remove the tie in and tie off at the start and stop. Otherwise, you're going to get a tiny little lock stitch at each end. Once those are gone, I don't see why you couldn't save as qli and then give it a shot!

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  2 года назад

      Yes, you can do fabric cutting without having a backing adhered to it, but I would use Terial Magic to stiffen the fabric first. You need to get the fabric to be as "paper-like" as possible so it will cut smoothly.

    I have the one you had before this one, the 650. Is it worth upgrading to the DX? I am still in the learning stages of the 650. The DX looks like it is more user friendly. Is this correct? If you have the time and could answer these for me it would be super helpful.

    • @PowerToolsWithThread
      @PowerToolsWithThread  3 года назад +2

      The biggest difference between the two is that the DX does its own depth measuring so generally a test isn't required. Also it is much more quiet and they made the gold fabric mat for it. The user menus are about the same with some updated icons as well but I wouldn't call it more user friendly. I do like having the half-cut menu option in the wrench at the end vs. having to do it before entering the cut menu. That was a pain to go back when I forgot to do it. You can see I'm a pro at forgetting to change out my half-cut option. lol

    I just cut out all the appliqué pieces with my Scan N Cut SDX230D. I bought it specifically to precut appliqués but I have never used it before for that purpose. My question is regarding placing the Heat N Bond side face up. When I did this, and scanned the mat into the machine, I couldn’t see where each piece of fabric started and stopped. On your video, your pieces seemed to have different shading to them. Mine all appeared as white. I increased the size by 400% but it was still hard to see. I messed up one of the watermelons. Anyone have any suggestions? I did subscribe to Alanda Craft but I don’t really have the time to go through the classes. I’m freaking out that I won’t be ready. This is my first quilt.
