Awesome tut. I am an experienced seamstress and would do things a little different but I fully understand you doing things this way for time sake. But what I loved is the way you cut the design in the fabric to go on top. That was so totally cool and I would have never thought to do that. So thank you so much for taking time to do the tutorial. I really enjoyed it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial and inspired me to use my Scan n Cut more. I know you’re a spokes person for Brother and I noticed on your sewing machine that sometimes your thread cutter would cut and sometimes it didn’t and you had to use the side cutter. I have three Brother machines with the latest being the Dream Machine and it’s hit or miss on that thread cutter. I did notice at the end of the video your thread cutter worked every time. What did you do to make it start working every time? Brother has the Luminaire Innovation-is XP1out since Monday however I’ve been ignored by my dealer and the Brother Company about my thread cutter and I’m rethinking purchasing any future Brother sewing machines. I do however like the brand new Scan and Cut with the sensor blade that was released and wondered if you’ll be doing any tutorials on that new machine?

There's a lot of fraying, which may affect my projects. Anyway to reduce fraying?

[@flybarbflybarb8227]

I need to cut fabric in the shape of pots. Im guessing I need to take a mold and scan it and use it to cut the fabric or paper? I’m totally new at this! Pretty clueless! Lol thanks

Please can you tell me where did you get the ring pin cushion. Thank you, Alma Collum

Does the new Fabric Mat work with an older ScanNCut CM 900

[@pdelmercado]

May I ask, what model Brother sewing machine are you using? Thanks.

[@seekingtrueanswers]

I am having such difficulty (operator ignorance) working my scan and cut, which I have owned for like 2 years and used exactly twice translating to once a year usage. What matt should I be using for fabric to make it tacky enoug to hold the fabric in place? If you have a video describing matt paired with what to use with them, please provide the link. Thanks in advance!

What do you use for the usable?

[@BrotherCraftsUSA]

You can use iron-on fusible interfacing for this pencil case project for your Brother cutting machine.

[@lindalai2720]

It would be faster to cut these pieces with a rotary cutter.

[@juliarhoads4676]

Kinda misses the point.

[@bettystephens260]

How do you stop the fraying of fabric ? I want to cut quilt pieces but way to much fraying.

[@shirleybel5812]

Hi. Starching fabric gives a much sharper cut 😊
