- In this ScanNCut tutorial, our star demonstrator Corinne Bradd will show you how to get more from your Brother machine than ever before by using it for stencil cutting! Did you know that in addition to paper and card, the ScanNCut SDX1200 can also cut mylar? This thin, opaque plastic film may look delicate but is strong and durable, the perfect material for making your own stencils. Cutting with a craft blade can be tricky, but the ScanNCut guarantees perfect results every time - smooth lines with no nicks, in any size you want.
The Brother ScanNCut software includes an extensive library of stencil images and Corinne shows how to find and select the one you want and resize it to suit before die-cutting it from your mylar. She then goes on to demonstrate how you can draw your own stencil designs onto paper and scan them into your ScanNCut image library, ready to be cut out. If that wasn’t enough, Corinne has also designed some striking tropical leaf, feather and mandala stencils which you can download for free at our link below!
Once you’ve got your stencil, Corinne then shows how to use it, sharing her top stencilling tips and tricks on turning children’s craft brushes into stencil brushes, which paints to use and how to apply them and achieve the perfect finish. Other techniques include repeating, overlapping and masking the stencil image, plus combining multiple paint colours. You can use your stencils on home dec, stationery, greeting cards and even your walls, so fire up your Brother ScanNCut and get stencilling!

I have used my Scan n Cut to cut stencils out of old xrays. Worked perfectly and uses something eventually thrown away.
That's a great idea. I love that you've found another use for them, c x
How do u get old X-ray film?
This is just the information I have been looking for. Thanx a bunch !!!
An organised and focused breath of fresh air after trawling through api,e of verbose disorganised RUclips videos.
Ha ha. Never think for a minute that I'm not disorganised... I just hide it well! c x
@@TheCraftsChannel I totally agree with Sheila though- you are a breath of fresh air after watching other videos- thank you!!!
@@pgnault2699 Thank you! c x
Thank you so much. Really enjoyed this tutorial. X
Thank you, I just got my Scan n Cut! Still trying to learn how to use it!
A lot of mine was trial and error because I'm rubbish at following tutorials (ironic I know!). Have fun with yours, c x
love your video's... so helpful
Great video, love the examples 😊
Thank you for the idea,love it.
Very nice illustration.
Omg u just lk me when I show my stuff I'm lk LETS NOT TALK ABOUT THAT !!! I luv u ALREADY!!
Ha ha, I *sometimes* forget to be professional 😂 c x
@@TheCraftsChannel that's what makes you so wonderful & likeable- continue being yourself :)
Karen do you have other videos? you are and EXCELLENT teacher!

Are you working on one of those desks that can be raised for standing? Looks like a nice size.
Ha ha, I wish. It's a large table top on two trestles! At home I've got a large, adjustable worktop that I bought for a tenner from Marketplace. Takes up half the living room but it's worth it. Think it originally came from Ikea, c x
Did they stop making the SDX1200? I'm looking to purchase one, but that model is non existent ...what would be the newer equivalent model? Love your videos!!
You can still buy the SDX1200 in the UK. I think their newest machine is the SDX2200 Disney but they also do an SDX900. You might be best to contact Brother's customer services and ask what the differences are, c x
Very informative. I use stencils for plaster/white cement which require thicker stencils. What do you think is the max thickness of Mylar/ Film that can be cut. Thanks
I'm not entirely sure, it can cut greyboard but as mylar is tougher I don't know if it would cope with anything more than 1mm thick, if that. The machine will cut exactly the same design each time. Could you perhaps cut three thinner stencils and then layer them together with a good adhesive maybe? c x
Can the scan and cut create a stencil from a transparency?
It should be able to if it's scanned with a white layer underneath it. you might have to fiddle around with the scanning contrast settings until it looks perfect onscreen, c x
Do you have a video on Scan’n’cut showing how to cut stamped images without the white border around the image, etc?
No, but I'd imagine you will always get a very narrow edge. Maybe you could ink up the edge of the cut piece afterwards? c x
Hi, I've watched couple of your videos on scan and cut and I've learnt so much. Thank you! Would you be able to tell me what exactly is the material to cut out the stencil?
Happy crafting
The plastic sheet I used is called Mylar but I'm pretty sure you can use the kind of acetate sheet you get for cardmaking, just take the protective film off both sides first so there's no risk of the sheet slipping, c x
@@TheCraftsChannel thank you so much, I just bought Scan n cut machine and your videos are amazing! I've learnt so much
I have an older ScanNCut used about 5 times. Had so much trouble with it and could never get help. It’s the wireless model before the D version. I had needed to be able to cut fabric backed with ThermoWeb adhesive backing. Would never work. Any ideas? Thank you.
Was it a C model without the auto blade? I used one of them for years, mainly for paper, but did have success with fabric. You are taking the backing paper off the fused Thermoweb before sticking the fabric to the mat aren't you? Also it's worth keeping one new blade purely for cutting fabric (like you would scissors) and increasing the cut pressure slightly to make sure it can get through every individual thread. I never used a fabric support mat when cutting stuff for applique, I found it too sticky and the pieces wouldn't come off cleanly all the time. You also need to make sure the fabric is firmly stuck to the mat, I found that an ink brayer/roller worked really well, c x
Does the thickness of the Mylar used to cut matter? Any suggestions on the best thickness?
ooo, now you're asking. The Mylar I used was 6mil which cut beautifully and was still tough enough to withstand being scrubbed clean. I would think the machine could cut thicker, c x
@@TheCraftsChannel Sorry - when you say mil, is it mm? In my country it comes 125 microns (1.25mm) 190 micros (1.90 mm) up to 250 microns, do you think the thickest will do?
@@zinc438 thanks for asking this, I'll be honest I had no idea but a mil is a thousandth of an inch so if you multiply it be 25.4 it makes microns. My sheet was 150 microns so I'd go for the 190, c x
@@TheCraftsChannel Thanks!
Do you think mylar is a better material for stencils rather than the Scan N Cut stencil material?
Um, I don't know. I haven't used the Scan n Cut material but I'd imagine they have tested it extensively. I always use what I already have and if I can't get the result I want I'll consider trying something new, c x
Great video tx👏 Wonder how small stencil can scanncut do: if I have a 3x3cm mylar square, will it be able to cut a firstname, similar to a small stamp?
I think it could handle cutting the name that small but I wouldn't risk just sticking a 3cm square of mylar to the cutting mat. Use a larger sheet so it's got more adhesion, cut the name from one corner and then cut the mylar down. If you've already cut the mylar you'll need to use some additional tape to hold it to the mat I think, c x
@@TheCraftsChannel Sounds great, tx for your reply !
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Can I scan a current stencil?
I think your best bet would be to draw around the current stencil with a fine black pen onto white paper and then scan that, c x
Thank you very much Karen, I appreciate your feedback.
Kind regards,
Thecla
Beautiful video, congratulations. Do you think it is possible to cut stencils with small details?
Thank you! Yes small details shouldn't be a problem providing the mylar isn't too thick and the blade hasn't been dulled by cutting too much cardstock, c x
Also...do you prefer the Brother over a Cricuit?
Both are great machines but I prefer the Scan'n'cut as I can scan my own designs and I'm not reliant on any kind of technical computer skill! c x
Thank you . Can I ask can you cut out of card . I don’t have the stuff you use. Thank you
You can cut stencils from card but you may only be able to use them once as it will be difficult to clean the paint off them without the card getting damaged in the process. You could also try something like a plastic file divider or a piece of plastic packaging, c x
Thank you . You are a breath of fresh air.
Could this mylar be used with a modeling paste?
Do you mean that thick stuff for a raised effect? You might need a thicker mylar for more of a 3D effect, c x
Great
I have the very original machine. I don't see stencils on it.
Was that the CM300? I'm not sure that ever had them loaded in the memory. The great thing about the scanning function is that you can design and scan your own, c x
Can I upload my own stencil designs to be cut?
Yes, you can import them from a memory stick or your computer, c x
@@TheCraftsChannel I have 5 mil duralar stencil material From DIck Blick. Will it cut this?
@@biviro47 I think it should, you may have to adjust the blade depth/pressure and ensure you use a blade that has not been cutting paper before, c x
@@TheCraftsChannel Thanks for your comment. I'll be sure to do that. I'm getting ready to buy a new Brother scan n cut. Hand cutting is way to slow.
Clean the stencil with a baby wipe as well as your brushes.
What weight mylar? TY!
I used 6mil in the demo but I think the machine could cut thicker if necessary, c x
my new mat was SO sticky that I couldn't get my stuff OFF!
Yes, I tend to press a teatowel on it first to make it less sticky! c x
Great
