Final comment (maybe) I just wanted to say that anyone who is on the fence about buying the Scan n Cut 2 jump off and buy it if you can. I've had it for barely a day and it's the most wonderful machine. I mainly got it for fussy cutting as I have major issues with my hands. As time goes by I will learn more functions. And buy it using Hedgehog Hollow's link, she deserves all the help she can get. Have a great day everyone.
Susan Evans My husband gave me the go ahead to order this week-end. You convinced me to click her link otherwise I would have just gone to purchase directly. I love to be able to support their hard work!! Thank you for the reminder.
that's wonderful Mary. I know you will like using the machine. It's just opened up a new world for me with being able to cut out my stamps. I show my poor husband everything I do on the Scan n Cut and he says "yes dear, if you like it I love it"........lolol
Well here I go! After having my Scan N Cut 2 for about 2 years, I have used it only twice because I have not had time to learn how to use it properly. Thanks to the Covid-19 virus, I now have LOTS of time to learn how to use it. Glad I found your tutorial and hope everything works. Thank you!
Thank you for showing an example of showing how to cut a small, cute image that usually has a die cut. Most people show a big, intricate one, and I always wanted to see the others. So thanks for that. Your tutorial was the best one I've seen. Again, thanks.
I just bought the DX225F. Oh my gosh I can't believe I've lived without it. Creativity is unlimited and as you appropriately demonstrated price on die cuts it more than pays for itself. Thank you.
I hate fussy cutting but when I get stamps, I am usually looking for the coordinating dies. Then I watched your video on the Scan 'n Cut 2 and knew I wanted one. I won't be buying dies anymore now that I'll be able to cut out my stamps using this machine. Thank you for this very informative video!
I am so glad you brought up a great point with the coordinating dies. You are absolutely correct: one can purchase 5 to 10 coordinating die sets (depending on price) and basically the machine is paid for. There are so many stamps I wanted but my hesitation came when thinking about the matching dies. Now I can splurge on stamps only. Thank you so much for this demonstration!
Thank you for this tutorial! I've had my scan n cut gathering dust for over 4 years and wanted to try something for festive cards this year, but was getting frustrated by my failed attempts using the scan n cut...until I sat down with a cuppa and your tutorial. I've now cut my stamped embellishments, am cutting the card layers and am finally seeing the fun I can create with the machine because I've got a little confidence! Thanks again!
Thanks for the tutorial. I bought a Scan and Cut 2 in May and haven't taken it out of the box! I have quit buying dies thinking that sometime I'll get it out and cut with it. After I see you do it, it's not so complicated. Thanks for going step by step, it really helps.
I am an idiot when it comes to anything having to do with technique. BUT. your tutorial was so easy to follow and the way you speak and pronounce words are so wonderful that even I, being German and therefore not a native English speaker, can follow everything you say. And, which is the best, I finally understood how to work that Little Baby! I am so happy to have found you! Greetings from Munich, Germany from Carmen
I have had my Scan n Cut for months and have been too intimidated to use it. I have found most videos to be less than helpful until I came across this one. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't wait to get into my craft room tonight to use this machine because your video was so simple and inspiring. Floodgates open!
My new Scan N Cut is sitting at home, unopened, while I am traveling for work. This video makes me so excited to get home and start to play with it! Thank you for such an informative and helpful video!
Again I have to say this is an excellent tutorial- please do more. I was on the fence about purchasing one but now I'm convinced I should get one. The dies are just too expensive and I see your point about the savings in the long run.Thank you so much for this-you're so helpful.
I finally after having this machine a year know how to use it properly. I bought from a shop that promised lessons that never eventuated and finally found this video. You are brilliant, clear concise and just what I needed I have just finished cutting out 6 full pages of images. Now I just need to work out why it sometimes doesn't recognise the whole image but that was minor. Thank you so much. Ohh and added borders as well.
Just found this video today and it will help me a lot to figure out this grand machine. Never thought about it die cutting ...this is awesome because if dies are added the cost is just too much when ordering stamps. This video has opened up wonderful possibilities. Thanks so much!!!
I was thinking of getting one of these machines, now after watching your video my mind is made up and I’m definitely going to purchase one. I love the idea of cutting out your own stamped images as I find some stamps can be so fussy to cut so I’m sure this machine will make it a lot easier for me. Thank you Alexander xx
Fabulous and very informative video! Many thanks for taking the time to show us the basics. I am about to purchase one of these awesome machines, and was looking for a video showing how to use it. This video is it! I am sick of buying matching dies for my stamps, as they are so expensive. I have mild arthritis in my thumbs and lining the dies up to the stamped image before cutting can be a challenge. This amazing machine will save me a lot of stress! Thank you so much for the great video, it was so easy to understand and follow your instructions! Stay well:-)
Have a something else, but it did not do all I wanted and was so tired of everyone trying to sell more junk with it. So I bought the Scan and cut. Hope to have lots of fun
This was the best tutorial yet. You explained everything so well. I bought my Scan and Cut from a lady here in town and she had only used it two times and her sister used it once. I bought it from The Marketplace on Facebook for $50 I've had it since April I think and haven't used it yet because I couldn't find a tutorial that would explain what I needed to know. I do better on visual than reading sometimes. Now I can use it all the time. And it I have a question guess who I'm going to ask? Yep, will be you. Thank you so much for a great video. Saving to my favs.
I have had this machine for goin gon three years and have been way too intimidated to use it....but thanks to finding you on YT I am going to give it a try! Thanks so much for your SNC tutorials! Sandy
I am very encouraged by your video and look forward to more about the SnC2. I purchased the CM350 for fussy cutting just like you. I hope to create a "cheat sheet" for different papers I have--Neenah 80, Bristol, and Walmart's Georgia Pacific--so that I don't mess up. Or maybe there are some people who have figured these settings out already and have share them somewhere? I hope to stumble on some of these tips as I continue to watch videos.
I love my machine and I have you to thank for it. Ever since seeing this video I’ve wanted one and I finally decided to buy not one but two. I got one for a friend as well. We love them. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial ! I love my Scan N Cut 2 which I have had for a few months now and I am still learning all that it can do ! Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work !!!
thank you for this - have just ordered one...been undecided for a few years and, like you, have invested in stamp and die sets, which costs a fortune. As you say this should pay for itself pretty quickly. I couldn't use your link to order as I am in Spain, but again, thank you
A really good show of the Scan n cut. I learned a lot... I would want it for cutting out my stamped images too. It did a pretty good job and you did a great job of explaining all or at least some of the functions. Thanks for the show........loved it. pat
yup you sold me!! Just purchased mine on HSN - comes with pen holder and WiFi...payments are spread out so it's not so much of an expense up front. Cannot wait to try this and can't believe I haven't stumbled upon this earlier! How much money I have wasted on coordinating dies....makes me nauseated just thinking about it! Your video was the best, thank you! New subscriber!!!!
I loved your video- but I wish you had kept going and showed us how you continued to cut that image and partial cut the rose!! I hope you'll show that in the future. Thank you for sharing.
just forgot to congratulate you on the tutorial as I live in Australia and the company Brother weren't much help to me as my blade was damaged when arrived. they kept telling me to set it on 5 but I had to have it on 7 to cut. But know they finally sent me a new blade it cuts stampin up cardstock on 4. Just thought I'd share and I did get advised by brother to adjust my pressure to 1 like you did.
Thanks for the triplex video on the scan and cut, and thought I'd never use one. After your video, however, I am starting to rethink my position. Thanks to your video I won't be so intimidated by the entire idea.I can't wait for the next video to see what else I can do. Thanks again!
Thank you for a great demo of these features. I have recently purchased this same unit and have not been exactly clear on the direct cut and scan to cut features.
Alexandra, thank you so much for this video! I love rubber stamping to make cards, but hate cutting out images by hand, so have invested hundreds : ( of dollars in die cuts. I love the look of die cuts with that little white space around the edges and after watching this video I started looking for more information about cutting stamped images. And then went to Amazon and bought the Scan n" Cut CM350 for $244. That cost will be recouped in the next 10-12 die sets I won't have to buy I watched your recent review of the Tim Holtz stamping platform and it was excellent, I kept meaning to subscribe. If I had done it then I would have saved myself about $100 on some expensive die sets. Just wanted to thank you for the inspiration. I'm subscribed now and will keep checking out your videos.
Becky Longie thank you. Check out our Amazon link in the video description it did have it on a great sale price. Also thanks for watching the platform video did you see the video at scrapbook.com too?
In ScannCut Canvas are some cutting files to make attachments to your machine to hold accessories like the stylus, blade, pens etc. They are quite handy to have, you mentioned you would like somewhere to pop your tools!
That was mega helpful, ive had mine for over a year and have barely touched it because i just wasnt sure what i was doing. I cant wait to stamp and get this out to try again :)
I just bought this and after watching your video I really wanted to love it! Sadly I don't. I have tried moving the settings on the blade and pressure and either it cuts great, cuts through to the mat or doesn't cut at all. I thought this would be great for fussy cutting and my stamped images. I feel it takes too much thought if I want something cut in a hurry. I know I sound negative but I really wanted to love it! On the hunt for another cutting machine!
Oh my goodness, thank you for this video it was very helpful. I have a lot of stamps and in no way can purchase all the coordinating dies. I think I must have this product 😊your right ..a great investment! Thank you
Thanks so much for this tutorial, I just got this Scan N Cut and it helped a lot. One thing I wanted to let you know is that there is a place to put the stylus, it the little hole behind the screen stores is just fine for me!
Thanks for the tutorial. I got my new scan N Cut 2 this week and I haven't used it yet. I want to familiarize myself with it so I don't damage blades or mats or anything else! Please do more tutorials on how to download fonts from the internet and then cut them for scrapbooking titles if you can. Thanks in advance! I'm your newest subscriber : )
Thanks so much for your Outstanding tutorial. I love my BSNC2 and always enjoy learning more. I am a visiual person and love the way you teach. Will be checking out lots more of your BSNC2 videos!! YOU so ROCK!! Joan Smith
Never used one , you did an excellent job and stayed focused! thank you. Since the mats are a bit costly, couldnt one use repositional roller glue on the back of what you want cut??
You can also buy the top of the line Scan n Cut 650MW but you can only buy it through a Brother dealer. It is AWESOME. Check out the differences at Brother and through videos.
Omg, i've seen it many times on tv, but never thought i need one. I spend a fortune on, coordinating dies. This is now on my birthday/ christmas list. Also i came across your channel a few months ago. i feel you are perfect for me, i watch all the designers over there in america. As i work on dt here in the uk promoting american stamps as you guys are well in front of the uk. but the best thing about your channel is you know your stuff but you have a english accent. so you see i get the best of both worlds. don't get me wrong not all Americans have a strong accent and i do love them, but i find afters hours of videos i find yours a welcome change. lol x
Thanks, this is my second time of living here and I understand your frustration when I comes to getting things in the UK, so glad you found us though. I was like you and never thought I needed one but once I did he maths and played with my Mums it was a no brainer and I don't regret it!
OUTSTANDING tutorial......you explained everything extremely well and thanks for sharing All of your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! I did subscribe and looking forward to more of your videos!! YOU ROCK!! Joan Smith
I’ve been on the fence about buying a Scan N Cut. Been thinking about it forever. Your video has made up my mind. You made it look so easy. I’m going for it! I alone question. I know there are different models. Which one did you get. Thank you.
I have found by choosing the colour option whether I have coloured my image or not it cuts perfect each time where I was having a little problem before where it wouldn't pick up all images if I chose black and white. Angie from Australia.
Thank you, it was a great tutorial, I wish you were going to use the canvas work space because you do a great job at teaching how to use the product. I am very technologically challenged and need step by step instructions. I am looking for tutorials on how to use this machine and all the options. If you know where I should look let me know. I love your channel.
Fantastic tutorial! I just got my machine this week but I've been busy working and today I'm watching a bunch of YT videos on tips. Yours has been the most helpful. I bought it so that I could save on not having to buy so many dies and use the money towards more stamps. I would like to see a tutorial on how it cuts out sentiments/words? And is there a way to cut out the "inside" part of a stamped image? For example, the space between a bent arm and the body? Thank you again for a great tutorial!
Thank you for the tutorial 😃 Why do you choose the scan option for 1 but the cut for the other when you are cutting them out? To me it’s the same kind of thing- cutting the image out... thanks for your advice
Could you show a more detailed video of how you cut all the layers in the flower stamp. Like how you just cut some of the flower line and how did you cut the inner lines without cutting all the small circles. I am missing something somewhere. Thanks
Does the cut tool go into negatives? Like, if I printed something with lots of bleed on it, could i have it cut INSIDE the printed edge? :) Thank you SO MUCH for your guidance, this is really helpful!
On the last scanned image, you showed us how to get the machine to cut the last drawn line around the beads which is basically how to cut all images. However, how do you get the other inner cuts? Do you scan back in the rest of the cut, stamped image and do one layer at a time?
On brother canvas there is a project among many for utensils holder and case or cover for the machine. Thanks for the video, I love my snc2 but like stamps and supplies still unable to get 3 of 7 kits. Even brother uk, cannot supply.
thank you for your trying to choose between 350 or 650 models please compare for me or forward to an appropriate source. also hard to find site that sells 650. they all refer to scan n cut 2 yet they are both #2 (second )..thanks in advance!
Hi, I did some research when I purchased mine. It depends on how you will use the machine but unless you are using it for sewing the 650 wasnt worth it in my opinion.
I SO appreciated this video-very timely since I am considering getting a Scan-N-Cut for this very thing. Can I ask you what model you have again and why you chose it? Thanks for all the great info!
So happy to hear you enjoyed it, I have the 350, I bought it in an Amazon sale, I like the color scanning and the larger screen, it's $50 off right now amzn.to/2uGepXe
Which bit are you missing? It's very hard to get a screen on screen video but we caught as much as possible, we love to know your feedback so we can improve
Hello. Thank you for your tutorial video. May I know how do you tell the machine to just cut outline when the scanner keep picking up inside and outside lines and sometimes even missing lines that supposed to be cut please?
I have had my Scan N Cut for over a year and have just recently really started using it. This is a great tutorial for the beginner (and refresher for those of us who have not used in a while). I am SOOO very happy that I have mine. It is used a lot for those images you have gotten as Jpeg's to print out onto card stock and cut out as well rather than fussy cutting. I have severe arthritis in my hands and can not cut well at all, so this is a great tool for me. My only complaint is going through so very many mats as they loose their sticky in such a short time no matter how well you clean them. Would you consider doing more information on things like how you did that last flower please? I am interested in things like that very much. Thanks so much for doing this series, I really appreciate it, as I know so many of us are.
We will do a whole video on fussy cutting inside design as there are so many options, I need too refine my skills before I share them. In regards to mats do a google for how to make a circuit mat resticky, there are lots of tips out there from sprays to using dish soap, and they do w work! Also when mine is nearing its end I use a temporary adhesive roller on the image plus some masking or washi tape on the edge and that works too :-)
Thank you for your videos, they are very informative and precise. I noticed that some of the cut edges on the unicorns look jagged, especially with the .08 outline size. I noticed the same results on other Scan N Cut RUclips videos. Do you feel like you get a clean precise cut when cutting 80 or 100# card stock? I purchased a Scan N Cut 2 and still have it in the box because I want to make sure that it's cutting capabilities are clean and precise (the store won't take it back if it is opened). I will mainly use it for scanning and cutting stamped images like your video.
I just looked at my sample and the edges are clean. I've been using mine for 3 months for that purpose and I have been very happy with it. Once I found the right settings for Neenah 110 I haven't changed them. There is a sharper blade which I will buy next time just out of interest to she if there's a different as the silhouette blades vary hugely
Thank you for replying. Can you tell me what your cut setting are for the Neenah 110 card stock? I use the same card stock for stamping. Also what brand of sharper cut blades are you referring to?
WOW!!!!! I am TIRED of spending money on coordinating dies for my stamps, and fussy cutting doesn't always suit me as I have bad arthritis in my hands, so the Scan n Cut may be added to my Christmas wish list! Question: does the knife blade stay nice and sharp? How often do you have to replace it? Does cutting speed effect how nicely the edges are cut....like is a slower cut better on most cardstock?
I have mine on the standard setting and it's fine, for something very intricate you might want a slower speed. Mine is 9 months old and im now considering a new blade and it's used daily
Great tutorial thanks ! I was wondering if you can use it to fussy cut designs on printed paper? For example a paper that has alot of flowers or animals, ? Does the item you want to fussy cut have to be outlined? Also, can you mirrior imagine items like 2 animals facing one another? I hope you didn't mention already.. sorry if i missed that. Thank you in advance.
Hi, one the patterns paper if it had a black outline then yes it would pick that up or you can get a software upgrade that allows you to select points on your PC from a scan so definitely that way. On the mirror image; I think with the canvas upgrade it would be possible; it have cut stamped mirror images but have never tried to do it free hand
Final comment (maybe) I just wanted to say that anyone who is on the fence about buying the Scan n Cut 2 jump off and buy it if you can. I've had it for barely a day and it's the most wonderful machine. I mainly got it for fussy cutting as I have major issues with my hands. As time goes by I will learn more functions.

that's wonderful Mary. I know you will like using the machine. It's just opened up a new world for me with being able to cut out my stamps. I show my poor husband everything I do on the Scan n Cut

Shelly Salzman so pleased to help, I have linked up some buying options on the blog wp.me/p6U1LQ-lT
I was ready to give up. I don't do well with technology and your tutorial saved me! THANK YOU!!!!!

Aileen Ryan you're so welcome. Use a true black ink and stamp twice. Also if you are having issues switch to color scanning. Video coming soon!
thank you so much for getting back to me

Glad you like it!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial ! I love my Scan N Cut 2 which I have had for a few months now and I am still learning all that it can do ! Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work !!!
You're so welcome
Awesome tutorial. You make it so easy to cut out images. I just got my Scan and Cut for cutting out stamps. I am so excited. Thank you so much.
Bonita Nesbitt thank you so much. I hope you enjoy yours too
I just got my Scan n Cut 2 yesterday and your video was very very helpful. Thank you for taking the time and explaining thing.s
Thanks for stopping by, we are working on a new lesson on how to install updates
thank you for this - have just ordered one...been undecided for a few years and, like you, have invested in stamp and die sets, which costs a fortune. As you say this should pay for itself pretty quickly. I couldn't use your link to order as I am in Spain, but again, thank you
Great video. You explained things really well.! I'm not a stamper but can use these same techniques for applique quilting.
A really good show of the Scan n cut. I learned a lot... I would want it for cutting out my stamped images too. It did a pretty good job and you did a great job of explaining all or at least some of the functions. Thanks for the show........loved it. pat
yup you sold me!! Just purchased mine on HSN - comes with pen holder and WiFi...payments are spread out so it's not so much of an expense up front. Cannot wait to try this and can't believe I haven't stumbled upon this earlier! How much money I have wasted on coordinating dies....makes me nauseated just thinking about it! Your video was the best, thank you! New subscriber!!!!
Thanks, welcome to the Hollow
I loved your video- but I wish you had kept going and showed us how you continued to cut that image and partial cut the rose!! I hope you'll show that in the future. Thank you for sharing.
just forgot to congratulate you on the tutorial as I live in Australia and the company Brother weren't much help to me as my blade was damaged when arrived. they kept telling me to set it on 5 but I had to have it on 7 to cut. But know they finally sent me a new blade it cuts stampin up cardstock on 4. Just thought I'd share and I did get advised by brother to adjust my pressure to 1 like you did.
Angela Westland that's so much. I found the settings by trial and error. Brother don't seem to have much support on the machine which is unfortunate
Simple, detailed and absolutely lovely. Thanks for sharing!
I don't know who was giving you the 👎 this is just been the best the explanation of this system & its capabilities.
this is the best beginner tutorial I have seen so far. I REALLY want one!
Thank you so much x
Thanks for the triplex video on the scan and cut, and thought I'd never use one. After your video, however, I am starting to rethink my position. Thanks to your video I won't be so intimidated by the entire idea.I can't wait for the next video to see what else I can do. Thanks again!
Thanks. I used to think the same but after playing with my mums and then doing the maths it was a no brainier for me. I love it
Greatly informative video. No need to speed you up to get to the point, lol Direct, precise and clear. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate your sharing this knowledge! I will be watching this over and over again!
Thank you for sharing, it's been a while since I've used my scan & cut. Really helpful.
Sweet! I heard you mention the Scan and Cut, but had no idea what it would do! No space for it now, but maybe in the future.
Alexandra, thanks for sharing your scan n cut techniques.
You're so welcome
Thank you for a great demo of these features. I have recently purchased this same unit and have not been exactly clear on the direct cut and scan to cut features.
You're so welcome
Alexandra, thank you so much for this video! I love rubber stamping to make cards, but hate cutting out images by hand, so have invested hundreds : ( of dollars in die cuts. I love the look of die cuts with that little white space around the edges and after watching this video I started looking for more information about cutting stamped images. And then went to Amazon and bought the Scan n" Cut CM350 for $244. That cost will be recouped in the next 10-12 die sets I won't have to buy I watched your recent review of the Tim Holtz stamping platform and it was excellent, I kept meaning to subscribe. If I had done it then I would have saved myself about $100 on some expensive die sets. Just wanted to thank you for the inspiration. I'm subscribed now and will keep checking out your videos.
Becky Longie thank you. Check out our Amazon link in the video description it did have it on a great sale price. Also thanks for watching the platform video did you see the video at scrapbook.com too?
In ScannCut Canvas are some cutting files to make attachments to your machine to hold accessories like the stylus, blade, pens etc. They are quite handy to have, you mentioned you would like somewhere to pop your tools!
Sue Edes thanks I have never even looked at the software 😂
That was mega helpful, ive had mine for over a year and have barely touched it because i just wasnt sure what i was doing. I cant wait to stamp and get this out to try again :)
Thank you for the great tutorial!! I just purchased the scan and cut 2 and this was very helpful!
Thanks for tuning in, stay tuned for more ideas as I discover features!
Thank you so much for recording this, Alexandra. This was so helpful.
Teri W. happy to help x
Terrific tutorial on the scan n cut. I really appreciate your clear explanation. hope you will be more scan n' cut tutorials.
Robin Carpenter absolutely, as I learn I will share with you too
I just bought this and after watching your video I really wanted to love it! Sadly I don't. I have tried moving the settings on the blade and pressure and either it cuts great, cuts through to the mat or doesn't cut at all. I thought this would be great for fussy cutting and my stamped images. I feel it takes too much thought if I want something cut in a hurry. I know I sound negative but I really wanted to love it! On the hunt for another cutting machine!
Shopgal 247 if you send me a message I’ll happily share my settings with you once I’m back home
Amazing tutorial, so straight forward and easy to follow. Thank you so much
Oh my goodness, thank you for this video it was very helpful. I have a lot of stamps and in no way can purchase all the coordinating dies. I think I must have this product 😊your right ..a great investment! Thank you
Looking forward to your next tutorial on the Brother Scan NCut2.
Thanks, I have already found new features I want to share with you
Thanks so much for this tutorial, I just got this Scan N Cut and it helped a lot. One thing I wanted to let you know is that there is a place to put the stylus, it the little hole behind the screen stores is just fine for me!
thank for the tutorial. I got one for Christmas and I have been afraid to use it. blessings
Thanks for the tutorial. I got my new scan N Cut 2 this week and I haven't used it yet. I want to familiarize myself with it so I don't damage blades or mats or anything else! Please do more tutorials on how to download fonts from the internet and then cut them for scrapbooking titles if you can. Thanks in advance! I'm your newest subscriber : )
Anita Christian thanks. I will add that to the list. Next I will have a video of how to download and install updates
Thanks so much for your Outstanding tutorial. I love my BSNC2 and always enjoy learning more. I am a visiual person and love the way you teach. Will be checking out lots more of your BSNC2 videos!! YOU so ROCK!!
Joan Smith
Thanks so much
Thank you so much for the straight forward tutorial!
Never used one , you did an excellent job and stayed focused! thank you. Since the mats are a bit costly, couldnt one use repositional roller glue on the back of what you want cut??
Kathy yes absolutely!
You can also buy the top of the line Scan n Cut 650MW but you can only buy it through a Brother dealer. It is AWESOME. Check out the differences at Brother and through videos.
Omg, i've seen it many times on tv, but never thought i need one. I spend a fortune on, coordinating dies. This is now on my birthday/ christmas list. Also i came across your channel a few months ago. i feel you are perfect for me, i watch all the designers over there in america. As i work on dt here in the uk promoting american stamps as you guys are well in front of the uk. but the best thing about your channel is you know your stuff but you have a english accent. so you see i get the best of both worlds. don't get me wrong not all Americans have a strong accent and i do love them, but i find afters hours of videos i find yours a welcome change. lol x
Thanks, this is my second time of living here and I understand your frustration when I comes to getting things in the UK, so glad you found us though. I was like you and never thought I needed one but once I did he maths and played with my Mums it was a no brainer and I don't regret it!
OUTSTANDING tutorial......you explained everything extremely well and thanks for sharing All of your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! I did subscribe and looking forward to more of your videos!! YOU ROCK!!
Joan Smith
Thank you so much :-)
I have been eyeing off this for awhile but never knew how to use it.... i am so investing in one :)
Karin kemp it's awesome. Check out the link in the description it has $50 off 😊
I’ve been on the fence about buying a Scan N Cut. Been thinking about it forever. Your video has made up my mind. You made it look so easy. I’m going for it! I alone question. I know there are different models. Which one did you get. Thank you.
Thanks for the great tutorial, I'm still learning my machine!
Thanks, me too, I will add lessons to the series as I learn new things too
+ Hedgehog Hollow AWESOME, I just sub'd to ur channel but I can already tell I will love it
I have found by choosing the colour option whether I have coloured my image or not it cuts perfect each time where I was having a little problem before where it wouldn't pick up all images if I chose black and white. Angie from Australia.
Yes that color option is great and can really help
Thank you, it was a great tutorial, I wish you were going to use the canvas work space because you do a great job at teaching how to use the product. I am very technologically challenged and need step by step instructions. I am looking for tutorials on how to use this machine and all the options. If you know where I should look let me know. I love your channel.
Fantastic tutorial! I just got my machine this week but I've been busy working and today I'm watching a bunch of YT videos on tips. Yours has been the most helpful. I bought it so that I could save on not having to buy so many dies and use the money towards more stamps. I would like to see a tutorial on how it cuts out sentiments/words? And is there a way to cut out the "inside" part of a stamped image? For example, the space between a bent arm and the body? Thank you again for a great tutorial!
Yes there is but I haven't got around to videoing it yet, it is on the list though so bare with me
Hedgehog Hollow I'll keep an eye out for it! Thanks for responding 😉
Thank you for the tutorial 😃 Why do you choose the scan option for 1 but the cut for the other when you are cutting them out? To me it’s the same kind of thing- cutting the image out...
thanks for your advice
This was a wonderful day for me...l, spend a lot of time fussy cutting and don't need to be. Thanks for sharing . . 😎 😎 😎
What a brilliant tutorial please do more
Could you show a more detailed video of how you cut all the layers in the flower stamp. Like how you just cut some of the flower line and how did you cut the inner lines without cutting all the small circles. I am missing something somewhere. Thanks
Right now I cut all the layers and then make it work, but yes I'd like to know how to do that too, I shall get on it and report back once I know how!
Does the cut tool go into negatives? Like, if I printed something with lots of bleed on it, could i have it cut INSIDE the printed edge? :) Thank you SO MUCH for your guidance, this is really helpful!
This is Awesome. Thanks so much. I learned so much from you today. Waiting for my machine to arrive, to play with it
You will love it, enjoy!
On the last scanned image, you showed us how to get the machine to cut the last drawn line around the beads which is basically how to cut all images. However, how do you get the other inner cuts? Do you scan back in the rest of the cut, stamped image and do one layer at a time?
no there were some extra steps i showed, but i plan to do a more detailed video as I have learnt lots!
Thank you for demystifying this, I can really see the potential - wishlist!
Excellent tutorial! You explained everything so well. Thank you.🌷
Wambui Made It thanks so much
Great tutorial. I am contemplating purchasing one in the future.
Beth Gorden I can't recommend it enough, be sure to check out the linked blog post too hedgehoghollow.co.uk
I will check out the blog post too.
Great tutorial. Just wondering if you have any idea why my borders on some of my stamped images aren’t even on the top and bottom? Thank you 😊👍🏻💖
On brother canvas there is a project among many for utensils holder and case or cover for the machine. Thanks for the video,
I love my snc2 but like stamps and supplies still unable to get 3 of 7 kits. Even brother uk, cannot supply.
Thanks I saw that, im sure one day i might get to make it!
Thanks I saw that, im sure one day i might get to make it!
do you have a video on how to scana template and then put in a decorative cardstock and cut the shapes? Sandy
thank you for your trying to choose between 350 or 650 models please compare for me or forward to an appropriate source. also hard to find site that sells 650. they all refer to scan n cut 2 yet they are both #2 (second )..thanks in advance!
Hi, I did some research when I purchased mine. It depends on how you will use the machine but unless you are using it for sewing the 650 wasnt worth it in my opinion.
I SO appreciated this video-very timely since I am considering getting a Scan-N-Cut for this very thing. Can I ask you what model you have again and why you chose it? Thanks for all the great info!
So happy to hear you enjoyed it, I have the 350, I bought it in an Amazon sale, I like the color scanning and the larger screen, it's $50 off right now amzn.to/2uGepXe
I do wish you could settle the lack of visual on the screen. Your instruction is one of my favs but I cannot see
Which bit are you missing? It's very hard to get a screen on screen video but we caught as much as possible, we love to know your feedback so we can improve
Hello. Thank you for your tutorial video. May I know how do you tell the machine to just cut outline when the scanner keep picking up inside and outside lines and sometimes even missing lines that supposed to be cut please?
Can I use stampin up cardstock on the cutting sheet? I had problems in my cricket using stampin up cardstock.
Wish I could see the screen, but fantastic tutorial.
You did a great job...can't wait to try mine.
Thank you, enjoy!
This was very helpful. Thank you! 🌺
you're so welcome
I really enjoyed this! Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I love your videos - good work!
Pat A thank you so much 😊
I have had my Scan N Cut for over a year and have just recently really started using it. This is a great tutorial for the beginner (and refresher for those of us who have not used in a while). I am SOOO very happy that I have mine. It is used a lot for those images you have gotten as Jpeg's to print out onto card stock and cut out as well rather than fussy cutting. I have severe arthritis in my hands and can not cut well at all, so this is a great tool for me. My only complaint is going through so very many mats as they loose their sticky in such a short time no matter how well you clean them.
Would you consider doing more information on things like how you did that last flower please? I am interested in things like that very much. Thanks so much for doing this series, I really appreciate it, as I know so many of us are.
We will do a whole video on fussy cutting inside design as there are so many options, I need too refine my skills before I share them. In regards to mats do a google for how to make a circuit mat resticky, there are lots of tips out there from sprays to using dish soap, and they do w work! Also when mine is nearing its end I use a temporary adhesive roller on the image plus some masking or washi tape on the edge and that works too :-)
Thank you for your videos, they are very informative and precise. I noticed that some of the cut edges on the unicorns look jagged, especially with the .08 outline size. I noticed the same results on other Scan N Cut RUclips videos. Do you feel like you get a clean precise cut when cutting 80 or 100# card stock? I purchased a Scan N Cut 2 and still have it in the box because I want to make sure that it's cutting capabilities are clean and precise (the store won't take it back if it is opened). I will mainly use it for scanning and cutting stamped images like your video.
I just looked at my sample and the edges are clean. I've been using mine for 3 months for that purpose and I have been very happy with it. Once I found the right settings for Neenah 110 I haven't changed them. There is a sharper blade which I will buy next time just out of interest to she if there's a different as the silhouette blades vary hugely
Thank you for replying. Can you tell me what your cut setting are for the Neenah 110 card stock? I use the same card stock for stamping. Also what brand of sharper cut blades are you referring to?
Princess Ross of course. We are on vacation for the weekend but I will let you know next week
Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend.
OMGoodness! This is awesome! I wish I found you sooner!
WOW!!!!! I am TIRED of spending money on coordinating dies for my stamps, and fussy cutting doesn't always suit me as I have bad arthritis in my hands, so the Scan n Cut may be added to my Christmas wish list! Question: does the knife blade stay nice and sharp? How often do you have to replace it? Does cutting speed effect how nicely the edges are cut....like is a slower cut better on most cardstock?
I have mine on the standard setting and it's fine, for something very intricate you might want a slower speed. Mine is 9 months old and im now considering a new blade and it's used daily
Basic, just what I need. Thank you!
Of course, glad you liked it!
Thank you SO much for this video and blog post!!
Michele White you're so welcome
How to cut detailed svg files.. without tearing or push paper up.... problems... Please did you do a video with this?
Great video! 👍 I´m about to buy one myself and I´m wonder how much room it needs in the back for the mat?
You are going to need around 13 inches for the mat to come out the back
Great tutorial thanks !
I was wondering if you can use it to fussy cut designs on printed paper? For example a paper that has alot of flowers or animals, ? Does the item you want to fussy cut have to be outlined? Also, can you mirrior imagine items like 2 animals facing one another? I hope you didn't mention already.. sorry if i missed that.
Thank you in advance.
Hi, one the patterns paper if it had a black outline then yes it would pick that up or you can get a software upgrade that allows you to select points on your PC from a scan so definitely that way. On the mirror image; I think with the canvas upgrade it would be possible; it have cut stamped mirror images but have never tried to do it free hand
Thank you for the tutorial! Have you scanned something already colored or embossed or glittered? I wonder about damaging the image.
Jackie Johnson you are fine. The clearance is high enough for chipboard so I had no issues
Hedgehog Hollow thank you!
