Excellent video..straigntforward and to the point....thanks...I didn't have to fast forward through camera adjustments, dog barking, talk about what you had for breakfast and other rather needless falderal☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ thank you.
corteltube haha!! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I’m having and egg on toast with avocado right now for breakfasts! 🤣
Hahaha I wish I could give 100 thumbs up to this comment 😂😂
truth!!!!!!!!! loved it!
I liked your video a lot! Suggest that you try scanning in black and white first, then if the contrast isn’t enough, switch to color recognition. 90% of the time, I get great results with the black and white scan, no matter what color the image is in. Impressive demo with the birds!
Great tip! It makes sense that it would see the contrast better in B&W. I will definitely try that. Thank you.
Be careful when you're bending the mat like that. If you get a crease in the plastic it is almost impossible to flatten it back out! I had some new mats shipped to me that got all bent up due to poor packaging. I tried flexing the mats back in the opposite direction by as severe a crease they had. I had to stop because I thought the mats were going to split apart. I'd already gotten 2 new replacement mats. I was told to keep the damaged ones. If the crease is near the end of the mat like mine are it still leaves you with plenty of useful mat space to use. But if you ever had to run the mat all the way through it might cause collisions with the scanner or misfeed.
No need to rely on the stylus as you can control the screen with your fingers and finger nails. You should turn the beep notice back on because it makes it alot easier to know when a button press on the screen has been registered. At least at first until you figure out the proper amount of pressure needed to actually "click" or press the onscreen buttons.
For regular copy paper or printing paper you should be using the low tack mats. Standard tack mats are way too sticky to be used for this sort of work. Or if you're going to use a standard mat at least use one with some wear so that it is less tacky.
Just to help you out, the papered chef will trace her images with a pencil that aren’t picked up by the machine and then it will read it then she goes back and erases the pencil marks off the original,.... great video, Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate, I’m getting my machine in two weeks for my birthday and I’m so excited to get to use it!
Great idea!!!! Now I know how to get plain silhouettes to stack under coloured images!!! Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. This machine seems way easier to use than the Silhouette or Cricut machines.
You are awesome!
Can you create female stencils with this machine for spray painting, thanks.
You did such a good job explaining and showing everything 🥰
I have to "ditto" what some of the other gals have been saying. I started my electronic cutting life with a Cameo and got very frustrated with how it cut images. Irregular outlines etc. Then I went on to a Cricut Air which I quite liked and found easy to use. Finally, I upgraded to the Cricut Maker. I love the machine for what it does. But, I find that lately, I am doing more fussy cutting from DSP and it is very hard on my wrists. And, I don't do a very good job! 😉. So, I have just ordered this machine today. I have watched some videos and I am finding contradicting information about what mats are included with the machine. Could you clarify that for me please, and tell me if I need to order some different types of mats? Thanks. 🙂
Excellent explanation of how to use this! I was on the fence about buying one of these and this was very helpful. Thanks so much!
Marcy M I’m glad it was helpful. This is just one of many ways to use it.
What's the biggest size will it cut?
I'm also confused on how did u get your image to print so does it print the image or will I need a printer that uses sub ink or does it operate like Cameo meaning import the image and it'll scan and cut it the way you have imported the image from software like Photoshop?
They have a new one out. It’s less cost but think it does much or all of the same things.It’s on Amazon, is pale green/yellow and I get mine today!
Brother ScanNCut SDX85 Electronic DIY Cutting Machine with Scanner, Make Vinyl Wall Art, Appliques, Homemade Cards and More with 251 Included Patterns
Mine is out for delivery today & I'm soo excited to start using it, I've been binging on so many videos! Thx for the great tutorial, very thorough & informative 😊
Wish it looked a lot more pretty looking. But wow. This machine seems so underrated. Especially compared to cricut or silhouette. I never heard of this until I actually searched for other cutting machines.
New subbie. Thank you so much for uploading. This was a great video. I'm old and have zero tech skills. I've wanted one of these machines for a long time, but I saw a demonstration on a PBS show which uses various Brother products, and the cutting machine they had was connected to a computer and there was so much activity just to cut out an image, I knew I'd never figure it out, but your instructions were beautiful and simple. I don't mind fussing cutting, but the results are never perfect. I make journals, and now I really want one of these. So, I'm going to start a scan and cut fund. What was really funny, though, one of the ads they showed during the video was from Cricket, who claimed it was the best on the market .... I have a color laser printer -- worst buy of my life. It's a Lexmark. The toner cartridges cost between $85 to $125 and they do not last at all, and there are no compatible ones on the market, and you can't refill them. To use it, I'd have to purchase four new toner cartridges at nearly $400 -- I'm saving for an HP -- but images printed with a laser printer on presentation paper are so beautiful anyway, this is icing on the cake. I also do decoupage, and this is a game changer.
Have just begun looking for scan and cut machines (got interested from watching TV selling channel "Create and Craft" where they used a Brother Scan and Cut machine. There were also many items of images for sale, i.e., on USB or on printed papers which offered dies for cutting (they are expensive and am retired on fixed income). Because of this excellent demo, I now understand that I will not have to buy the dies if I buy this machine. I will have to research what materials I might use and which ones this machine will cut. Thank you for a clear and step-by-step explanation of how easy this is to use.
I'm glad this was helpful!
If you live in the UK craftalier is cheaper
Finally a video that sticks to the topic and is easy to follow! Looking for more from you for sure.
Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad it was helpful.
Just discovered this machine still in box in my mom's craft stuff. She just passed a month ago. Her craft room is an overwhelming mess. Wife n I r going thru n will have a huge sale
Can you do kisscut sheets with this machine?
Thank you for your introduction of Brother ScanNCut. I have a question -So if I have 100 identical sticker paper to cut, do I need to scan 100 times to make sure cutting precisely?
Probably, but you could try it. Sometimes it can be hard to make sure each one is lined up perfectly. But it might get close enough. Let me know how it goes!
Just starting to play with mine, as well. I bought it to avoid further die purchase for my Cardmaking. Thanks. For a helpful vid!
margaret ann chamblee I’m thinking of buying one for the same reason. How are you liking it?
I want to know the same thing
I Love your video's I have CM350 scan and CUT I also have Brother quattro2 sewing machine- Do you know If I Can scan my ART work and send it to my Machine I think I can But NOT sure how to do it.
New subbie here! Thank you for sharing this- it is very informative. I am looking at a scan n cut right now. I want it for the same reason. I don't like fussy-cutting either.
Hey bud l have this machine and it's younger brother and love them both, l do not know if you do not know but you can make your own stamps, rhinestone layouts and embossing folders and not forgetting white work l have had my first machine for over 5 years and still can not find what it can not do you will love learning with this great machine great vid
You did a fabulous job explaining the scan and cut with these images. I'm still trying to decide if I need one of these awesome machines. Thanks for the video!
You are so welcome! I think you should get one...hehe!! Thanks for watching.
Very interesting video, thank you! I am a rubber stamper and am seriously thinking of purchasing one of these machines. I had a Cricut machine years ago, but got frustrated with it and sold it because I wasn't able to cut my stamped images with it. A ScanNCut machine would save me a lot of time and frustration! Many thanks - stay well:-)
This would be perfect for what you want to do!!
It pays for itself scanning and cutting stamps
What an awesome tutorial! Thank you so much! I'm considering getting one, so your video is exactly what I was looking for. You cut the same types of images that I'm looking to cut. Question for you... now that it's been several months since you made this video, I'm wondering if you are still just as happy with your Scan n Cut or if you've had any problems. I hope you can reply, thank you :-)
This can cut vinyl correct ? I want more for vinyl cuts for tumblers. I a. Trying to decide which one to buy,the DX or scan and cut2 CM350.
You start off with images already printed.. how did you print them?
I printed them on my home printer.
Very helpful tutorial! I have the 125 machine too but have had a love/hate relationship with it. So, I gave up for awhile, your instructions were so clear and I stamped some images and cut them out today and happy to say they cut great! Now to color them for future cards! LOL Thanks so much for doing this video!
Yay!! Glad it was helpful. I have those times where I sort move on to something else and when I come back it's not as hard as I thought! Thanks for watching!
amazing machine you made me realize how much more I can do,,,you did a great job, thank you , I can't wait to watch more of your videos
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it and you’re inspired to create more. I’m loving mine.
Thank you for an easy to follow video. I am making my first cut and scan.
Great!! Have fun! Thanks for watching!
If you use a pencil and draw a line where the machine fails to scan it. Then scan again an tada it works.
Great tip! I will try that. Thank you!
Excellent explanation. Very helpful. Thank you a million, you’re very knowledgeable about this stuffs.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video. Do you have anymore using the SDX125? I only see 2.
carla douglas not yet! I will.
Fab Crafts and More Oh, the sooner the BETTER!!! Pretty PLEASE!!! We still need answers about how to get the Bro to cut out the insides of LETTERS but NOT the centers of our images, AND vise-versa, etc., etc., etc.......
This is a game changer for print and cut. I have a Cricut and I’m bound to 6/9 print but a full page no boundaries especially a print for a shirt. I love it.
Right?! Thanks for watching!
How well does it cut through 90# cardstock?
Like butta!
Excellent demonstration! You answered my question about alignment and cutting custom images.
I love your video tutorial on scanning and cutting individual graphics. I'm new to scan and cut. LOL haven't even used one yet but I have one available to use from a crafter friend. I have a cpl of questions please. For the cutouts you did in the tutorial is there a way to cut out the silhouettes of the same stickers so they be layered to give them more depth? With die cuts you just run them through several times on white paper and stack them.
My second question is can I scan and cut images like chinese paper cut designs where I want all the white areas cut out not just the outlines? Also can I cut heavy watercolour paper? I'm dying to try all these techniques out! I have too much money invested in my Silhouette to purchase another machine but Silhouette's picscan function is just too complicated for cutting a lot of images!
Kariatid Gaiasdotter when you scan an image to cut it out you are able to save the scan as a file either to your computer or directly to the machine. You can then run your other paper through to make your silhouettes for layering. It will cut thicker papers like watercolor paper. I believe you can cut materials 2-3mm thick. You can adjust where you want the cut edge to be. You can leave white around the edges or cut inside the outline of the image to get rid of the white. I also have a Cricut that I had before getting the ScanNCut, but really wanted the scanning option that Cricut doesn’t have. I use both machines depending on the project. I hope this answers your questions. Thanks for watching!!
Finally, A tutorial that simply explains a basic scan and cut! I've had my machine for months and have driven myself crazy trying to do a simple cut. Most tutorials show the basics on some relic instead if the current machines. I am pretty computer savvy so I really feel sorry for purchasers who are not. Hopefully, I am bow going to take my very basic picture and cut it out. I have shared this tutorial with myself so if I forget anything I can rewatch. Big hugs for your beautiful video. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤
That's why I made this video. I was also having a hard time finding any instruction on it. I'm glad it was helpful!! Thanks for watching.
So can you scan an image and then use that cut out image to cut vinyl? Do you use a separate printer to print out the images?
Kimberly Prentice you do need to print your images using a paper printer. You can draw, stamp or use images from book page too. Pretty much anything you can scan well you can use. Once you have your images scanned you can save those “outlines” and use it to cut other materials like vinyl, HTV or paper. Hope this helps.
Really excellent video indeed !
Now I see the difference between the Brother where you have freedom to bring any design, and the Cri-Cut where you depend on the template shapes.
🎈
🙋🏻♀️ Thank you very much
You are amazing. Thank you so much for this video! I just got mine about an hour ago, so this was soooooooo helpful! Thank you :)
Have fun!! Thanks for watching.
I just came upon your channel and watch the tutorial as I got my Scan n cut just 2 days ago. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Now I will know how to use my machine❤
Thanks for a great video, I just got my machine, you explained everthing perfectly .
Excellent!! Have fun!
Im sold! I hate fussycutting.
Right??!! So, for those times when you still have to fussy cut have you seen this tool?? ruclips.net/video/PuAqCnqkOm0/видео.html
What a great tool this has turned out to be! Thanks for this great tutorial! I get stuck in the process when it's time to cut. Thanks for helping me out!
Thanks for the video. Even though mine is older it is time for me to get it out and learn how to use it. I know what I'll be doing Sat! Thanks. Hope to see more videos on how you use yours.
Do you think its a good idea to use this to start a name card'/stickers business? if someone order for 500 name card? would it be able to work long hours?
Do you know tha that sometimes that you have to use black color when scanning in color objects
I am VERY new to this craft. Received the DX225F for Christmas. It did NOT come with a black scanning mat. It came with a Fabric Mat and a Low Tac Mat. Someone told me I have to have a scanning mat. Is that true? If it is, how do I know what one to get for the DX225F. Thank you for any help.
For what I did in this video you do not need the scanning mat.
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. I just got my Scan n Cut and have been looking at tutorials but couldn't find one that was easy to understand and didn't include a lot of unnecessary detail. I followed your directions and have now cut my first page of objects. This is the best video for sure!
After using this machine for awhile have you been able to scan and cut birds that do not have clear contrast - beige on white paper etc?
See the reply above from the Kaestner Art Studio which said "Just to help you out, the papered chef will trace her images with a pencil that aren’t picked up by the machine and then it will read it then she goes back and erases the pencil marks off the original"
Are you able to do stickers on this machine. The mat is so sticky that the sticker paper would not come off. Any help would be appreciated.. thank you
Are you saying that you tried it and your sticker paper wouldn't come off? I haven't had issues with this standard mat. There is a low tack mat you might try.
Fab Crafts and More yes. The first attempt. The low rack mat helped.
Great tutorial! Can you cut sticker paper to turn your stamped images into stickers?
I received my machine, I did the tutorial and haven't work with this $400 machine since, its been 2 years! I don't know why I even bought it..good sales pitch I guess...
Get it out and try something!! Do you do other crafts?
How did you print out the little girl after you duplicated her? On the Scan N Cut? It prints? I am a bit confused. I am getting one in a couple of days so I am watching your videos and have subscribed. Thanks!
I used Photoshop to create the page of girls. I only used the ScanNCut to cut them out.
@@fabcraftsandmore Oh, thank you so much. I was totally confused on that! I will try it.
The next machine I buy is going to be a scan an cut.
I bought this printer ruclips.net/user/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 to replace an aging HP printer. It is just used for casual home printing so I don't need anything more. Installation went easily though the HP Smart Printing doesn't work well with our laptops - having to select the actual device. Will have to see how the HP Instant Ink program works out. Plus haven't been able to set up printing from smartphone yet - either direct or WiFi
Thank you for this video. I am very new to the Scan and Cut
i though cricut maker was like that but no, kinda upset that still i need to cut my images
coz using cricut was forcing me to edit and adjust the size which i already used Word so
makes me impossible to print and put on cricut .
i want something can scan and cut the sides thats all,cricut do a bit similar but force u to use their own app
which s annoying and impossible to adjust the sizes from other app .
example
i wanna make paper dolls that already is on Pinterest app and i downloaded and edited using Word
because the pic was big also deleting the background, i have no printers so everytime i have already things to print
i go to the library is like half hour from home, and cricut cant print either scan only cut which when i tried to cut
Cricut showed me a massive size of my pics which i needed to make it smaller and cut but was impossible coz i tried
sizing with a ruler my doll pics😂but cricut change the size to make it smaller or larger😂.
i cant even guess the size also only shows in inches, i cant put it into centimetres 😂.
Cricut may s cool but don’t recommend if cant scan . I want a simple easy machine not just paying 60$ montly and also extras $$$ for different emojies or handwriting stuff😂to download .
Does the screen give you an option for half cut. I did not notice. Like for stickers on the direct cut mode.
I haven’t tried that yet, but I think you can choose that option. That’s a good idea for another video!
I just got mine today!!! The ONLY problem I have had is that the mat is SO sticky, I cant get the paper off easily. Any suggestions? Thanks for your great video!
Great tutorial your very easy to follow and your straight to the point cheers
Cheers to you!! Thanks for watching!
I’ve struggled to find demo that is straightforward and the instructor doesn’t waffle! This was absolutely brilliant. I stamped a whole load of flowers, I don’t have die cuts for these, and I did a small border which was amazing. Thank you for easy to understand, clear instructions.
I'm getting ready to make wedding stickers on the Brother SDX230D, thanks for this video!!
You're welcome!
Can you use adhesive paper
Yes you can!
This is exactly why I bought the Scan N Cut us to cut out stamped images! Thank you for this great how to!
Great tutorial. Thanks very much.
Thank you for watching! 😁
I had no idea how this machine worked and you gave an easy to understand. explanation of the process. Thank you so much. Awesome video!!!
Wow, I learned a lot about my new brother Scan and cut. I bought it just for that to cut out stamp images so I don’t have to buy dies.
Thanks for your great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great! I hope you’ve been having great luck with getting them cut out! Thanks for watching! 😁
You make this machine so easy to use! Thank you for being a wonderful teachers❤️
Thank you for your kinds words and thanks for watching!
Your video was very helpful. I've had my Brother Scan N Cut DX 125 for a little over a year. I wasn't sure how to get a good cut out of patterned paper. Thank you for the information.
For this machine I don’t have a laptop do I have to have one to be able to use it or can I use my phone
I just wanted to say thank you for the simple to follow instructions. I have had my machine about 4 years and it has gathered dust. Any video I have watched, left me feeling lost and uneasy with attempting to cut items out. Today she gets dusted off and used. Also moved to an area where my mat can go from one end to the other.
I make cards for cancer patients every year, all year. In my rush to get more done, I had not taken the time to search for easy to understand instructions. I truly wish brother offered zoom classes so we could interact with a person. I know there are others out there who are gathering dust on their machines as well. I reached my goal of making 5000 cards this year, along with cards from other crafters added as well, so I had some time to waste. Thank you truly.
I'm so glad this helped. I too had trouble finding instructions on how to use it and that's one of the reasons I made the video. Have fun with your "new" toy!! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I never knew how the scan and cut works! I can see this as my Christmas gift this year!
How often do you have to change the blade?
You’re right- stamping dies are ridiculously high. If I only need my stamps I think this is a game changer! Thanks for your demo, you made it look easy!!
What do you use these cuts for?
yes loved this, it is 2-2021 which brother would you buy if you were buying a new one, I have a Cricut but i want to Stampin up stamp scan and then cut, i do not fussy cut
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the new models. Whatever their new model is. They should have descriptions on their web site to help you figure out which one would be best.
And now I know how to cut images without a white border YAY! thank you so much! I have been wrangling this problem so when I went back to your tutorial I found your solution!!! In my books, you are Number 1 on youtube!!!!!
Wow! Thank you for your kind words. It’s crazy that the shop that has classes doesn’t know how to do this. I had a hard time finding the information too, which is why I did the video after I figured it out. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the detailed and clear video. Are you able to access/control the scan and cut interface via your computer rather than via the tiny screen on the unit? I noticed on the second bird there were some white areas that were missed at say the top of the legs and around the smallest details, is this something you can adjust for, or is it easiest to just clean it up with a scalpel after. Thanks again!
Did you use a low tack Brother mat? I have a lot of trouble getting paper off of the standard mat.
thanks for the straight forward video just what i was looking for.I needed to know how this machine did with cutting stamp images and you got to the point fast. I could now buy this machine
Loved this tutorial. Do you have a tutorial on this same type of cutting but have lines outside off the design that need to be removed. TY
Great video…. Thank you
Here is the link to the unboxing that doesn't seem to be in the description ruclips.net/video/gkT0Cihk7ag/видео.html
You don’t take anything for granted, giving all the Incas you go. You are a very good teacher. You’re prepared and don’t talk about unrelated topics! Excellent presentation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much. I'm glad you found it helpful.
@@fabcraftsandmore aqa1
Great video..very helpful. Just precise comments. Love it
Thank you! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a tutorial of how you scanned in one image and made it appear on the paper 10 times? Was that done on the Scan N Cut or someplace else? Secondly, how do you get it on sticky paper (to make stickers). This is amazing. (new owner of a 325 as of today).
The image of the vintage Victorian girl decal was scanned with my all in one printer. I made a file with multiple images of the girl in photoshop and printed on presentation paper.
To make stickers you need printable sticker paper or printable vinyl like this amzn.to/3lTq55b #ad
@@fabcraftsandmore what is the brand of your all in one printer?
Thank you for doing this video. My new scan & cut is arriving tomorrow!!!
Have fun!
I can use any kind of paper(normal paper, photo paper..), or just some paper?,please answer me
Yes you can use lots of different papers.
very scared to use my fabulous new machine, but after watching your excellent video i'm going to give it a try
Do it!!!
Thanks so much for this video 😊 Will this work with images printed on felt or other types of fabric?
I have not tired it on felt or fabric. I think if there is a good outline around what you want to cut and you can get your material to lay flat on the mat it should work. Give it a try.
On mine the paper just stuck to the mat and it pealed off everything no matter how slow i go
Can you use this to make perforated labels/ stickers?
Thank you, so informative and easy to follow.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
It’s Sod’s law, I have decided to give myself an early Christmas present, searching for a good deal I found one place, and yes it’s out of stock, 😭
I have my Scan n Cut now, very happy with it.
I’d love a video on cutting fabric.
I have not gotten into cutting fabric with my ScanNCut, but I will see about doing one.
How well does it cut with a color background?
I haven’t tried a colored background. There needs to be enough contrast around the image for the SnC to be able to make a clean cut line.
Great video! Can you tell me what made you chose the Scan N cut verses a Cricut?
I also have a Cricut Maker. I see uses for both of them. The Cricut however does not have the scanning function. That’s why I got the ScanNCut.
Fab Crafts and More Sooo...how do you input what you want to cut out?
Man I wished I saw the scan and cut be4 I brought the cricut machine
This was just what I was looking for!! Took a class and the instructor didn't know how to do this! Geez! Thank you!!!
Glad it helped. This is the biggest reason I bought the ScanNCut and was also having trouble finding a good explanation! Thanks for watching.
