Stormy weather in SC today. Hopefully I can play around with my new ScanNCut DX. I gave my CM to a preteen girl who wanted one for Christmas. I told her to watch ALL of your videos!
Hi Becky, I'm catching this on the replay. Question, could you place the fabric on the mat without removing the paper from the heat and bond first? To me that would help in removing the pieces. Thanks
I find that I often need to reduce the size of some Kimberbell files to get them to fit into the said hoop. They sometimes run just slightly larger than my Brother allows.
I agree the SNC is going to be the best for appliqué but it is very expensive. I have a SC225 & 4 Cricut machines. It is actually pretty easy to place a design where you want it on the Cricut mat and I have cut out fabric many times on it. It is more affordable, so it is an option. The best part about the Cricut is Cricut access because you can find whatever you want there and also many multi layer designs for paper craft, it does not have the same editing functions as the SNC. The downside of the SNC is that there aren’t that many good designs provided and although you can use any SVG, it can add up when you are buying them individually. I know there are free ones out there but if you have a project in mind or want quality you do usually have to pay. I use my Cricuts much more than my SNC for papercraft because there is just so much more available. Also the Cricut mats are much better than the SNC mats, no taping etc needed. Cricut Access has 400K+ designs vs Artspira with a few hundred. I can scan something with my printer and upload it to Cricut design space. I realize that isn’t as easy as scanning it right into the SNC but it does work. I am glad that I have both but if I was on a budget I would by a Cricut first.
Can you create an applique design with the fam file or only with an image file?-i thought the fam was proprietary to brother and i can one get the scan-n-cut to export a *.jpg (not an SVG)-i use mySewNet and can create applique from an image but if it is not “clean” I have to muck with it a bit
How do you put the cut applique down in the right place for the tack down to get it all the way around. I cut 4 today and the tackdown missed on multiple sides.
FYI: I'm on a Mac. When you go back and cut out the black, it cuts out the live chat in the replay and then, I don't know what you are addressing in the comments. A suggestion would be leave the black in and then, I can just fast forward in the replay and have access to the live chat. If I recall, a comment last week from another Mac user said the same thing.
The mats used to be extremely sticky. But if your mat is not as sticky, then you can use HNB side down as long as you have a good adhesion to the fabric.
i don't have a scan n cut but my daughter does and i need a gift does the box on the side that holds your tools come with it or is it available somewhere
Not this time. I created the svg files in Embrilliance from the placement line in the design. Had I not done that, I would have definitely resized a +2.
Most quilt retreats have a kitchen near the sewing room. So we have a "virtual kitchen" in our virtual retreat. All the goodies are fat and calorie free! It's just for fun. :D

good morning from pennsylvania
Morning From Brisbane Australia. I always watch the following morning after your live. I miss the chat but love your show.
I really appreciate your gift of your experience and time. You are very generous.
So nice of you!
I always refer to you as one of my sewing buddies. 😂
Nice!
Good morning from Las Vegas
I watch from Las Vegas also, but 5AM is WAY too early for me.
Hi! I’m in Henderson. Are both of you in LV proper?
@@CraftAddictedWendy I'm in S. Highlands area.
Thank you!!
Weird that your kit did not have the foam! That should have been included. Thank you for all you do, very helpful.
Hi Becky, I'm catching this on the replay. Question, could you place the fabric on the mat without removing the paper from the heat and bond first? To me that would help in removing the pieces. Thanks
Yes, I've seen that done. However you do run the risk of fabric shifting on the mat if the paper decides to let go.
@BeckyThompson you may find that if you use the ScanNCut rotary blade, you wont get those hanging threads on your cut outs.
Agreed. But the rotary blade is extremely slow. It's quicker for me to just make the snip. Either way will work!

The SDX85 does cut on a 12x24 mat fyi. I have a SDX85 and mine came with a 12x24 mat
Yes, it will cut on a 24" mat, but it won't scan a 24" mat.
I have a scan and cut sitting collecting dust cause I only managed to make a mess with it.

I hadn't thought of that. Thanks.
I thought you said to always put fabic pretty side down if you used heat n bond because the mat would pull off the heat n bond off.
The mats used to be extremely sticky. But if your mat is not as sticky, then you can use HNB side down as long as you have a good adhesion to the fabric.
800 people laughed with you!
Just got a scan and cut not taken it out of box yet
Now is the time!
If you enlarged the SVG on canvas like two clicks would that be large enough for the cut outs?
Should be. Test first!
Thank you
Do you need embrilliance to use the Scan and cut?
No ma'am. Not at all!
i don't have a scan n cut but my daughter does and i need a gift does the box on the side that holds your tools come with it or is it available somewhere
Like a soap dish for the shower.
It's a Bath Razor Holder in the Command line of products made by 3M.
It's the Command Shaving/Razor Cup for your shower! :D
Does the Scan N Cut not work with Stitch Artist 1? SA2 is always mentioned.
Yes, all the tools in Stitch Artist 1 are included in Stitch Artist 2.
I have Essentials, so do I understand it willl work with just that program? It's not necessary for me to have SA2?@@PowerToolsWithThread
@@PowerToolsWithThread I'm aware about that SA2 has all that SA1does. I only have SA1. Is SA2 really necessary if I have 1 and Essentials?
I was hoping to see how it works. I am almost halfway through and haven’t seen a thing yet….
Kris has a fuller face
I don't think I've studied them long enough to notice. lol :)
Hi Becky, I watched your replay so I couldn’t ask this on your live. ****Did you enlarge your Kimberbell SVG files by two clicks?*****
Not this time. I created the svg files in Embrilliance from the placement line in the design. Had I not done that, I would have definitely resized a +2.
5x7 or larger does not work and you have a 5x7, it's your basting stitch causing it to increase
I have no idea what a virtual kitchen is???
It’s pretend.
