I was just hunting how to cut plain vinyl when I discovered your channel. I’m a 79 years young lady trying to learn new tricks and I must say your instructions are so interesting that I’m hoping that you have more just like it. I’m new to scan and cut, it came with my sewing machine, and want to learn all about it. Thanks for sharing your time and amazing talent
Ms. Judy this is AMAZING and inspiring!! I hope others will follow your lead and learn more skills! I just bought a setting machine and am new to it. Keep creating and Thank you for sharing!
I am 52 and having a go at new things to after medical problems have me at home all the time. It’s fantastic to know I am not on my own venturing into the world of creating. Good luck, onwards and upwards to all of us vintage people! 🤣🥂
OMG I can't stop laughing!! I love these videos Tock makes....I love his attitude toward all the Jesus comments he gets, this is an amazing sewing/learning community!
I was confused to buy a silhouette or Cricut. Since I like making my own designs and seen this video I made up my mind. It's none of those machines. Thank you for this. I can wait to purchase
I don’t need to buy this machine. I don’t need to buy this machine. I don’t need to buy this machine. Great video now you have me debating buy another $400 machine hahaha
Apwelch94 Cricut machine are way better and simple to use and if You live in USA you are about to have great treat,they always have great offers and pricing is way cheaper than in UK
The standard tack mat is used for vinyl, probably why yours didn't hold the vinyl well. I have found that washing the mats under warm water is a great way to remove any dirt etc and revive them a bit.
Awesome stuff man, have you tried applique embroidery? That scan and cut will be so useful for that. I use scrap fabric and cut it to the shape of the design, then use the embroidery machine to zigzag stitch around the fabric attaching it to the pattern piece.
I'm actually planning a couple videos on applique already! You can do it with the scan n cut, or with an embroidery machine - so there are a couple great options. Thanks for the recommendation!
The Brother cut machines (especially the Scan N Cut) are superior to the Cricut and Cameo. I wish it had more exposure. Cricut seems to have both Michaels and Joann's markets, I know Joann's tried to carry the Brother stuff for a bit but it all ended up on clearance. I guess because Cricut is easy to get started with the masses, just pay $10 a month and have access to thousands of premade designs. I guess I like making my own designs for free, and with the Brother you don't have to jump through hoops to get your own designs onto it. Not everyone is so computer savvy, which is understandable. Brother would really need a huge library to compete with Cricut. I'm afraid they will discontinue their cutting line because it's not as popular.
I completely agree with everything you said - one huge advantage brother has is they have an extremely power line of sewing and crafting machines and equipment to back up their terrific vinyl cutters. Hopefully they have enough faith in their product to keep it alive, I'll do my part to show people how much more I like my Scan N Cut along the way :) Thanks for watching!
What was the type of permanent vinal u used for the cup you introduced ? I love the metallic look and that is perm. Please send me the link on where to purchase. Ty
OMG thank you! I just ordered one of these machines, and every tutorial I have found so far just rambles on and on about nonsense. I appreciate people who get right to it and stay with it!
That was a very enjoyable video to watch. You covered everything involved in taking your design from start through to finish without skipping bits. Most commendable.
WOW THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WATCHING YOUR VIDEO. I ADMIRE YOUR DEDICATION. THIS IS ALSO MY VERY FIRST TIME SEEING ANY KIND OF VINYL WORK, AND MAKING THE STENCIL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT SERVICE. VERY INTERESTING. YOUR DYN-O-MITE !!!!
Thanks man! I'm so glad I ran across your tutorials. Your style is a useful compliment to the more cutesy/crafty/quilty videos I've watched. And I love the skull bear! It's funny.
Hadn’t thought of this as such a useful tool...I usually buy the Imperial Cog sticker for my car from Etsy...looks like I could make it myself AND make tshirts...cool idea. Thanks for sharing this. Love the videos...they inspire me to keep trying stuff.
I'll be doing some more videos on other ideas very soon (without all the into setup stuff). There's a surprising amount of things you can do with this machine! Thanks for watching :)
This is the best beginner video, thank you so much for all the information you share. I was feeling really lost and frustrated before I found your channel. Thank you again ☺️
This looks like so much fun! It’s amazing that normal people can just go buy a machine to make custom things like this, love how accessible it is to the public and not just to bigger companies or businesses. Also, I wanted to add that I love how you slap stickers all over your machines, wish I could buy them that way because I love stickers too but I’m usually too nervous to actually put them on things I own in fear that I’ll eff it up somehow haha. Maybe one day you can make your own brand of sewing machines etc. and have them come with stickers either already on them or a pack so people can customize the machines how they want with your stickers (wishful thinking)
I love everything about this comment! It truly is amazing that such high quality items can be made with recreational home machines now. Plus it's so damn fun! Obviously I'm a total sticker addict, I can't even help myself (even though my sponsors hate them lol). I adore the idea of having my own line of machines someday with stickers already on them. That is a fantasy I'd love to see materialize someday :) Thanks for your continued support and comments, hope you're having a wonderful week!
Tock Custom sponsors be damned! (Mostly jk of course) I like your more grungy/skater aesthetic and overall badassery compared to a pristine workroom, it feels more real and approachable, especially for guys that are probably interested in sewing and crafting but are maybe worried about it still being more geared towards women/grandmas. Nerds and cosplayers unite!
I love your 💀 🐻!! Back in the 70's it was popular to get custom t-shirts made. We'd go to the t-shirt shop and the walls would be covered in dedigns. Like flash in a tattoo studio. Anyway, you picked out your shirt, your design and the guts made you a shirt. They had the big press type irons but it's basically the same principle. The thing is, those guys always used the old school style chalkboard erasers. The black felt ones. After they press/ironed on the design, they'd glide the eraser all over it to kind of absorb the heat, then use it to hold down the material as he pulled back the backing paper. I haven't tried heat transfer yet but I'm going to start. Thought I'd mention it as it might come in handy if you do a lot of heat transfer stuff
Oh I'm familiar with that process - its great how much easier these tasks have gotten over the years too. Thanks for watching - Happy Holidays to you this year!
I used a permanent adhesive vinyl - Good for windows, glassware, car decals, or stickers. There's a TON of different manufacturers, so check out some options on Amazon or local craft shops for sure.
I am new to your videos as I just got my scan and cut. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making these videos!! So much fantastic easy to follow information for beginners.
Hello and thanks for making this easy-to-understand video! I am restoring some sponsor logos and name/numbers on old vintage soccer jerseys. Why do you recommend the SportFlex HTV instead of the Everyday Iron-On Vinyl? Is one thicker than the other? Thanks, Dave
Oh wow! I really enjoyed this video. Now you've got me interested. I have 2 Brother Sewing machines! Love them. I can't wait to see more videos about this machine. I'm not familiar with Brother Scan & Cut. How many are there??? Would this be good for someone just starting out??
It’s a great machine. The best part is if your big into appliqués or stamping it has a built in scanner that can cut around the images. Works way better than the Cricut print and cut. Also with the auto blade you don’t have to select a material at all it’ll automatically cut it.
This is one of the intermediate Brother vinyl cutters, but it has a wide scope of projects you can do with it. Plus I love Brother machines in general :) I certainly recommend this machine for beginners, or even people who are very familiar with cutters. I'm looking forward to showing what else this machine can do now that I have the full "intro video" out of the way!
Full honesty, you can make literally anything you want. If you're planning to sell stuff, that's kind of a different story, but I often make branded things for myself without any issues at all
I can't find any comparison between the SDX85 and the SDX125e. From the Brother website the only difference is the 125e has 100 quilt patterns built-in. But what I really want to know is - Is the SDX85 as quiet as the 125e. Did/do you also own the -85 and do you happen to know if it's loud?
If this wasn't so old maybe In 2024 we could make this work with out a head ache. The software has changed and you need to update this. This does not help. This only is a pain. I want to return this crap
Have never used my Scan N Cut.. was always intimidated by the thought I might damage my mats (which are expensive compared to Cricut) and having to set the blade pressure.
Thanks I like your videos! more or less this video change my mind of buying a Embroidery Machine. My conclusion you can get some amazing result with a Embroidery Machine but cutting vinyl feel faster and cheaper to get started! and when I don't have a Embroidery graphic program that cost like $1600 this is a more economic friendly way to start
Hi Tock! I was trying to think of what kind of videos I'd like to see you do lol. Could you please do one on putting in elastic around a waistband please? I love all your vids that I've watched and plan on watching all of them! God bless.
Tock Custom yes like pj’s...thank you so much! Just made my first pair of pj bottoms for our ten yr old Granddaughter ...they came out better than expected (🤣🤣) but the waistband wouldnt stretch any wider. Did I not tighten the elastic enough ? I only overlapped the elastic bout half inch before putting under the casing. Youre awesome Tock-thanks for sharing your talent!
I haven't gotten into vinyl yet, I use my Brother for stickers and cards and other paper projects, but I would like to jump into vinyl. I am wondering, if you are making designs for both the front and back, say you have the front on already, when you are doing the back, do you need to protect the other side? Like for instance, do you need to put a thin ironing board inside the shirt?
Thank you, how many times can we use the vinyl? I have brother CM650W Scan N Cut 2. Can I use it to make t shirts like yours? Please, please, answer my question. That will be a huge help!!!
I just bought the exact same machine and also the brother PE800 so I think I need to upgrade my computer. What would you recommend? Also thank you for all your help.
Can I do this on my Samsung s20 ultra cuz I have a cricut and I'm able to use it on my phone and I have the latest Android and have a vry fast phone.i hope I can cuz I only have a laptop that is not working good but I do have a very nice fire table but my phone has 8k so I'd think it could work...or do I NEED a new computer??
I what a great clear and concise how to video without the long backstory and constant “like and subscribe“ pleading you see with all the other RUclips videos. Very very professional and informative. You should make yourself a “Vnyl Jesus” shirt as I think it fits you better - lol FYI, I am brand new to this hobby and am looking for a complete set up from a vinyl cutter to accessory tools. Where do you get A table top size self healing green cutting mat? Does your brother printer connect to the brother sewing machine? 4:00 would you recommend people get a Digital thermometer to easily tell when to remove the clear adhesive from the ironed vinyl shirt? If so, what temperature is ideal for a clean removal? Do you have a link to an Amazon store or similar For someone looking for links to all supplies needed?
Oh that's my Zinogre Armor design. I don't sell it, but I did digitize it for vinyl cutting. The software is free with the machine, so you can do pretty much anything you want 😊
The designs on the brother scan and cut are they copyrighted? Are you able to design and sell things with those designs or do you have to make your own? Thanks! Great video, you explained everything extremely well!
When you mentioned while doing the skull bear that some lines where doubled up, does that mean the blade will cut a thin line either side of the thicker line? I’m researching cutters to aid with creating stained glass patterns and I need the space to allow for the copper foil or lead that goes around each glass piece. I need that so the pieces start true to the pattern and are of correct size. I hope I explained myself. Your video is amazing easy to understand. This is the machine I’m strongly considering.
Just came across your video while looking for scan and cut how to's. Then clicked on your site and all these sewing videos came up. Just have to say AWESOME!!! Now to see if you teach server use. Bought one many many yrs ago and can't figure it out. Must go purchase my scan and cut. Thanks!
Oh excellent, happy to help! I do have 2 videos on how to thread and use sergers and overlock machines. The one with the Brother Serger is much easier to see the threading process :)
Like your sewing courses very much. Learned a lot from you. But regarding T shirts and cutting i have a few tips/sugestions.. For weeding is better to use tweezers. To hold the material down try using clips similar like for loundry drying.. When pelling the backing vinyl off try at a sharp angle..for complex images use printer :)
Thank you so much! Certain types of vinyl come off the film differently, so tweezers would be tough on this particular material, but for stickers and other soft vinyls it works great!. Also you're correct about peeling it at a sharper angle for sure, especially when using transfer tape on other applications :) Thanks for helping people out this this comment. Hope you're having a terrific week!
Thanks so much for this video - you have helped me decide to go Brother. You mention the machine can cut thin wood - which type of wood would this be? Balsa?
Also which Brother machine would be best if i need to scan a team logo for our girls softball team? We designed it so we own the rights! Would i be able to scan the logo then use the machine to make the shirt just like in this video? I seen a few brother machines I’m wondering which would best fit my needs? Thank you for the awesome tutorial!!
The designs on the brother scan and cut are they copyrighted? Are you able to design and sell things with those designs or do you have to make your own? Thanks!
Oh it's probably just sold out... I'll check the link, but I don't care about the commission, I just want people to get the equipment they need to make some fun projects 😊
I have a cm600 and I have been trying to vinyl cut a tasmanian devil in black. I have no idea how to get this cut to go on a tshirt.It either cuts every single line inside or can outline cut but obviously cant put that on black, please can you give me any ideas. Many thanks
I love my brother Scan n Cut but I have trouble when I am transferring images from my computer. there are line missing from the image I am transferring. I am trying to transfer images of creepy crawly bugs but there are legs missing or inner lines. can you help me with this one
Hi Guys, I own a Graphtec CE 50 lite and cannot get to grips with the set up and sending my design to the cutting machine. When I create the design and send it to the cutter it start
Thank you great video. Have they stopped adding projects to canvas work space as I was hoping for some great new Christmas projects but there inst any.
Wow, great job Tock. I want to know if that machine (brother) is the same like the Cricut? Are they the same ? Just wondering.. thanks for the video Tock
By far the best video i have ever seen this is honestly the best video for beginners every other video on how to make a design and cut vinyl and transfer it to a shirt for beginners that i have seen are more for people that already do this and just want to learn a few more things those videos show you things on how to make a design that is wayyy to difficult for a beginner and they only show you how to apply vinyl using a cricut easy press or a heat press but they dont realize that a beginner is doing just that beginning so they might not have a easy press or a heat press wich makes people think that if you dont have these things then you cant get started on making shirts ... thank you so so much for showing everyone that you can heat press a shirt without all that expensive equipment and that you can doit with something you most likely already have at home this is exactly how a video for beginners should be excellent video man thank you again i am subscribing to you right now
Thank you very much for such a thorough and positive comment! Happy this was able to help you without the need for a bunch of unnecessary specialty tools. Hope you end up making some terrific new projects this winter!
Thanks for watching! I would imagine it would do the half cuts, otherwise it wouldn't really work as a vinyl cutter. It can do so much more too! Have a great week!
Great video TC! Question: do you believe that this machine is user friendly for a beginner vs Cricut? I'm considering my options for purchase. I have a Brother sewing machine and love their product, so I'm really interested in possibly getting this.
I had a Cricut Maker when I first started using vinyl cutters and though "This machine is great!" which it is... and then I got the Scan N Cut and thought "This machine is way more user friendly, smarter, and I love how it automatically detects the material and thickness!"... so, I highly recommend Brother's machines for vinyl cutting for sure 😊
So can I print an actual picture on to the vinyl and have this cut out around the picture like with a cameo? Can I send stuff straight to this from my phone to cut?
Hi Tock, Brother has now brought out a special blade just for vinyl cutting and holder. Its finer so you can do really detailed delicate cuts in your patterns, also if you purchase the vinyl cut there is an activation card that releases more designs for vinyl use in Canvas and also a weeding box to use around your design. good video. Have you invested into the cricut easy press to help you with your attachment of vinyl , it produces easy, even heat much better than an iron and not to expensive.
I got some of the new Brother blades, and they work great! I REALLY want one of those larger presses for sure, I've been meaning to get one but haven't had the time lately. I'll be doing quite a few more videos with vinyl cutting projects as soon as I can!
They are all similar with different features. I don't like to put "other machines" down at all, they are all great machines. I've tried the Cricut Maker and this Scan N Cut SDX-125e - both are terrific. This particular unit has more features that I need for my specific projects so I use this almost exclusively. Feel free to do some research on what would be best for your project goals for sure :) I'm not trying to be wishy washy either, I truly appreciate other brands and how they approach accomplishing similar tasks. Great question, hope this was helpful!
Great video but, I think it would be great to have a manual for the canvas workspace. If there is a manual out there please tell me where I can find it.
As a beginner I can't Thank you enough for being so clear and concise with your video and explanation!!

I am aligned with you on Brother cancellation fear, especially with the mats !
I seriously doubt they’ll cancel this considering they just came out with the new version of the Scan n Cut, the DX.

Not only can it do that, but it can do metal and foil embossing as well, which is pretty rare and amazing :)
Excellent instructional video. Brother should hire you. Thanks.

They're about the same thickness, but the sport-flex is much stretchier, so it'll hold up better on knits and athletic wear
@@TockCustom Thanks for the quick reply! Have you used any brands other than Cricut vinyl? I see Siser seems to be a competitor.

Thanks a ton Rabbers!! Call me sometime, it's been foreverrrrrr WTF is wrong with us!?
@@TockCustom No clue, but I think about you all the time. That has to count for something right?
If you was to purchase another scan n cut, which one would you choose?
I actually just got the SDX225F, its the dealer model and has a TON more features! I'll be doing an unboxing and review of it as soon as I'm able :)
Hi!! I have a question- for the brother scan and cut, can you use any vinyl or does it have to be specific to the brother brands?
You can cut just about anything. You just want to get the correct vinyl for the project. Like, fabric vinyl. Or permanent vinyl.
Oh wow! I really enjoyed this video. Now you've got me interested. I have 2 Brother Sewing machines! Love them. I can't wait to see more videos about this machine. I'm not familiar with Brother Scan & Cut. How many are there???

I can't find any comparison between the SDX85 and the SDX125e. From the Brother website the only difference is the 125e has 100 quilt patterns built-in. But what I really want to know is - Is the SDX85 as quiet as the 125e. Did/do you also own the -85 and do you happen to know if it's loud?
If this wasn't so old maybe In 2024 we could make this work with out a head ache. The software has changed and you need to update this.
This does not help. This only is a pain. I want to return this crap
Have never used my Scan N Cut.. was always intimidated by the thought I might damage my mats (which are expensive compared to Cricut) and having to set the blade pressure.
Thanks I like your videos!
more or less this video change my mind of buying a Embroidery Machine.
My conclusion you can get some amazing result with a Embroidery Machine but cutting vinyl feel faster and cheaper to get started!
and when I don't have a Embroidery graphic program that cost like $1600 this is a more economic friendly way to start
Hi Tock! I was trying to think of what kind of videos I'd like to see you do lol. Could you please do one on putting in elastic around a waistband please? I love all your vids that I've watched and plan on watching all of them! God bless.
Oh I could totally do a video on that, like for pajama pants, right? That would be super easy :)
Tock Custom yes like pj’s...thank you so much! Just made my first pair of pj bottoms for our ten yr old Granddaughter ...they came out better than expected (🤣🤣) but the waistband wouldnt stretch any wider. Did I not tighten the elastic enough ? I only overlapped the elastic bout half inch before putting under the casing. Youre awesome Tock-thanks for sharing your talent!
I haven't gotten into vinyl yet, I use my Brother for stickers and cards and other paper projects, but I would like to jump into vinyl. I am wondering, if you are making designs for both the front and back, say you have the front on already, when you are doing the back, do you need to protect the other side? Like for instance, do you need to put a thin ironing board inside the shirt?
Thank you, how many times can we use the vinyl? I have brother CM650W Scan N Cut 2. Can I use it to make t shirts like yours?
Please, please, answer my question. That will be a huge help!!!
Can it cut anything other than vinyl? Like cork or fabric? I'm thinking pattern pieces for a sewing project. Thank you - very clear demo.
I just bought the exact same machine and also the brother PE800 so I think I need to upgrade my computer. What would you recommend? Also thank you for all your help.
I can't afford this machine so I just came here to see a gorgeous guy :-D
Ha! You're too kind
The voice, the hands, the looks AND he sews! oh my gosh! :)
@@kimberlystahl1746 Oh knock it off :D
Tock Custom 😂
QVC or HSN with 3 or more flex pays
Can I do this on my Samsung s20 ultra cuz I have a cricut and I'm able to use it on my phone and I have the latest Android and have a vry fast phone.i hope I can cuz I only have a laptop that is not working good but I do have a very nice fire table but my phone has 8k so I'd think it could work...or do I NEED a new computer??
I what a great clear and concise how to video without the long backstory and constant “like and subscribe“ pleading you see with all the other RUclips videos. Very very professional and informative. You should make yourself a “Vnyl Jesus” shirt as I think it fits you better - lol
FYI, I am brand new to this hobby and am looking for a complete set up from a vinyl cutter to accessory tools.
Where do you get A table top size self healing green cutting mat?
Does your brother printer connect to the brother sewing machine?
4:00 would you recommend people get a Digital thermometer to easily tell when to remove the clear adhesive from the ironed vinyl shirt? If so, what temperature is ideal for a clean removal?
Do you have a link to an Amazon store or similar For someone looking for links to all supplies needed?
The alien shirt you have on can that template be purchased?
Oh that's my Zinogre Armor design. I don't sell it, but I did digitize it for vinyl cutting. The software is free with the machine, so you can do pretty much anything you want 😊
That machine is so cool🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yeah! I'm already planning some new videos to do with this since there are so many projects it can do. Thanks for watching!
thank you for your tutorial, really good at explaining, you are awesome man
Happy to help! Thanks for watching 😀
Is stretchy vinyl readily available or just through commercial/business outlets ? I am in New Zealand
The designs on the brother scan and cut are they copyrighted? Are you able to design and sell things with those designs or do you have to make your own? Thanks! Great video, you explained everything extremely well!
When you mentioned while doing the skull bear that some lines where doubled up, does that mean the blade will cut a thin line either side of the thicker line? I’m researching cutters to aid with creating stained glass patterns and I need the space to allow for the copper foil or lead that goes around each glass piece. I need that so the pieces start true to the pattern and are of correct size. I hope I explained myself. Your video is amazing easy to understand. This is the machine I’m strongly considering.
Hi .I have brother cut and scan 1200. Pls can u tell me which software I need to use and which type of file. Thanks
Helpful video! Actually like the shirt! Reminds me of the misfits!
You should do one with a little alien on it
I could totally do that :D
Just came across your video while looking for scan and cut how to's. Then clicked on your site and all these sewing videos came up. Just have to say AWESOME!!! Now to see if you teach server use. Bought one many many yrs ago and can't figure it out. Must go purchase my scan and cut. Thanks!
Oh excellent, happy to help! I do have 2 videos on how to thread and use sergers and overlock machines. The one with the Brother Serger is much easier to see the threading process :)
Like your sewing courses very much. Learned a lot from you. But regarding T shirts and cutting i have a few tips/sugestions..
For weeding is better to use tweezers. To hold the material down try using clips similar like for loundry drying.. When pelling the backing vinyl off try at a sharp angle..for complex images use printer :)
Thank you so much! Certain types of vinyl come off the film differently, so tweezers would be tough on this particular material, but for stickers and other soft vinyls it works great!. Also you're correct about peeling it at a sharper angle for sure, especially when using transfer tape on other applications :)
Thanks for helping people out this this comment. Hope you're having a terrific week!
You lost me at 'trace the image ......' etc., - how ? If you're not giving 'how to' details, what is the point of this video ?
I just purchased the cutter. I get it on Wednesday. Thanks for the tips.
Do u mean u dish washered the mug cuz u said washing machine but I think u ment dish washer permanent vinyl
Thanks so much for this video - you have helped me decide to go Brother. You mention the machine can cut thin wood - which type of wood would this be? Balsa?
Maybe you should wear a knifeproof glove on your other hand when you use the circular cutting blade since you said you went to the ER twice
Also which Brother machine would be best if i need to scan a team logo for our girls softball team? We designed it so we own the rights! Would i be able to scan the logo then use the machine to make the shirt just like in this video? I seen a few brother machines I’m wondering which would best fit my needs? Thank you for the awesome tutorial!!
The designs on the brother scan and cut are they copyrighted? Are you able to design and sell things with those designs or do you have to make your own? Thanks!
What if someone copy your design 😀😀 please say something about it
This is unavailable on your affiliate amazon link. Will you be updating the model or is it just a really popular buy right now?
Oh it's probably just sold out... I'll check the link, but I don't care about the commission, I just want people to get the equipment they need to make some fun projects 😊
what about vinyl that is solid on back.... not clear how do we do that?... also a beginner thank you for the awesome tutorial
I’m new to this and am interested in making shirts. Will any HTV vinyl heat transfer sheets work?
Can you tell me which fuseable flexible vinyl you’re using?
I just found your channel! Thank you, you’re Awesome 👍
I have a cm600 and I have been trying to vinyl cut a tasmanian devil in black. I have no idea how to get this cut to go on a tshirt.It either cuts every single line inside or can outline cut but obviously cant put that on black, please can you give me any ideas. Many thanks
I love my brother Scan n Cut but I have trouble when I am transferring images from my computer. there are line missing from the image I am transferring. I am trying to transfer images of creepy crawly bugs but there are legs missing or inner lines. can you help me with this one
Are these vinyls and everything transferable for sweatshirts or jean material as well? Or is it only for fabric T shirts??
Hi Guys,
I own a Graphtec CE 50 lite and cannot get to grips with the set up and sending my design to the cutting machine. When I create the design and send it to the cutter it start
Thank you great video. Have they stopped adding projects to canvas work space as I was hoping for some great new Christmas projects but there inst any.
I can't actually say - I always design my own projects. Maybe I should look at the pre-made projects more often :P
Greetings, the table behind you that holds your machine, did you make it? If not where did you get it?
I made all of the tables in my workshop 😊
Wow, great job Tock. I want to know if that machine (brother) is the same like the Cricut? Are they the same ? Just wondering.. thanks for the video Tock
Wondering too 😬 Plz
where did u get the lips?? i was lookin 4some 4 a project but couldnt find any i liked and i like those 1's lol
Honestly, I would pay money for the bear-skull logo on something, lol
This is the best learning vedio that im looking for.....and really excellent job ..thank you
Very happy to help, thanks for watching!
Is that that the only Brother Scan & Cut Model that will cut Vinyl?
By far the best video i have ever seen this is honestly the best video for beginners every other video on how to make a design and cut vinyl and transfer it to a shirt for beginners that i have seen are more for people that already do this and just want to learn a few more things those videos show you things on how to make a design that is wayyy to difficult for a beginner and they only show you how to apply vinyl using a cricut easy press or a heat press but they dont realize that a beginner is doing just that beginning so they might not have a easy press or a heat press wich makes people think that if you dont have these things then you cant get started on making shirts ... thank you so so much for showing everyone that you can heat press a shirt without all that expensive equipment and that you can doit with something you most likely already have at home this is exactly how a video for beginners should be excellent video man thank you again i am subscribing to you right now
Thank you very much for such a thorough and positive comment! Happy this was able to help you without the need for a bunch of unnecessary specialty tools. Hope you end up making some terrific new projects this winter!
Thank you for this video. I could not find an interesting video for using the machine. Your video came through for me, 'preciate ya!!
Happy this one worked for you! Thanks a ton 😊
Fanfreakingtastic! Thank you so much.
Great video! I have the original Brother SNC. I'm not sure if it will do the half cut for vinyl or not?? I really need to investigate it more. ~Janice
Thanks for watching! I would imagine it would do the half cuts, otherwise it wouldn't really work as a vinyl cutter. It can do so much more too!
Have a great week!
Great video TC! Question: do you believe that this machine is user friendly for a beginner vs Cricut? I'm considering my options for purchase. I have a Brother sewing machine and love their product, so I'm really interested in possibly getting this.
I had a Cricut Maker when I first started using vinyl cutters and though "This machine is great!" which it is... and then I got the Scan N Cut and thought "This machine is way more user friendly, smarter, and I love how it automatically detects the material and thickness!"... so, I highly recommend Brother's machines for vinyl cutting for sure 😊
So can I print an actual picture on to the vinyl and have this cut out around the picture like with a cameo? Can I send stuff straight to this from my phone to cut?
Hi did you ever find out if you can? I was wondering the same
Tock this is amazing! Loved watching it. Thank you.
Thanks you so much for watching, happy to help out :) Hope you have an excellent week!
sound like great machine, need to know does it do Rhinestones ???????
Hi Tock, Brother has now brought out a special blade just for vinyl cutting and holder. Its finer so you can do really detailed delicate cuts in your patterns, also if you purchase the vinyl cut there is an activation card that releases more designs for vinyl use in Canvas and also a weeding box to use around your design. good video. Have you invested into the cricut easy press to help you with your attachment of vinyl , it produces easy, even heat much better than an iron and not to expensive.
I got some of the new Brother blades, and they work great! I REALLY want one of those larger presses for sure, I've been meaning to get one but haven't had the time lately. I'll be doing quite a few more videos with vinyl cutting projects as soon as I can!
How is this machine different from a Cricut or Silhouette, or are they all pretty much the same?
They are all similar with different features. I don't like to put "other machines" down at all, they are all great machines. I've tried the Cricut Maker and this Scan N Cut SDX-125e - both are terrific. This particular unit has more features that I need for my specific projects so I use this almost exclusively. Feel free to do some research on what would be best for your project goals for sure :)
I'm not trying to be wishy washy either, I truly appreciate other brands and how they approach accomplishing similar tasks. Great question, hope this was helpful!
Wooow! Excellent video, you inspire others( from Mexico thanks)
Thank you so much for watching and for the wonderful comment!
Great video but, I think it would be great to have a manual for the canvas workspace. If there is a manual out there please tell me where I can find it.
I don't know if they have a manual... but I should totally make some videos on how to use it :) Good suggestion!
