4 years on and your clever designed mat is still really useful - Thanks. Brilliant video!
That's so nice to hear, thank you!
Thank You for a SUPERIOR video tutorial. Exactly what we need to know in a concise presentation.
Thank you.
You are a jewel! Thank you so much! I just bought a used machine for $60 because I'm not rich, and I was disappointed to find out how many accessories I need and how expensive they are. You just saved me!
Glad I could help!There is a more recent video on this,ruclips.net/video/T7xnKmfoRos/видео.html
Hi Sandra, I made myself a mat today using your instructions and found I only used the top stencil. With just that inked in it worked to feed and scan and if I used it on the other end too I could insert both ways round. Thank you so much for this.
Great job! Glad you decided to try it!
Did you buy a sign and use the reverse side for mat?
Important Note! If you don't have the ability to cut the stencils in one piece because of the size, duplicate the file. Cut each piece from the left corner to past the middle triangle. Then cut the same part of the design from its right side to past the triangle, working to the left side. Repeat with the other part of the design (top or base strip). Don't make the mistake of thinking that the pattern is totally symmetrical! If you have a larger cutting mat you can cut it on that (I cut mine on the Silver Bullet Platinum) but I don't think you can get it on the 12 inch mat, even diagonally.EDIT: HERE IS A LINK TO SHORT PIECES! www.dropbox.com/sh/eaj0k72wa48z1vg/AACT3ZBqmU8n1s6hUbwsH9jWa?dl=0
EDIT - I have since made a video on the DX mats ruclips.net/video/GWvjzwLGE6s/видео.html files are there for download.
createinspain My template will fit on the scanncut mat on the diagonal with just a small corner cut off. I cut several cardstock stencils for my Dx. I made it when first released and couldn’t buy an extra mat because they didn’t have any for purchase.
Yes, I realised that but wanted to make it easy to line up - so I have added a new file link to smaller pieces that will cut completely, for those with only a 12 inch mat.
I don't have the words to tell you how much I appreciate this!! The money that you are going to save us is more than we will ever know. Thank You, thank you, a million times over THANK YOU!!! You are amazing!!!
You're welcome! ! Crafting can be an expensive business these days but it is the only thing that has kept me sane for the last year. Here, I don't have the option to walk into a store to buy one and to buy off Amazon in Spain is ridiculously expensive for these.
It always gets my back up that the official Brother mats don't even work with all machines. Grrrr.
I knew eventually somone would come up with a DIY mat! Brilliant your amazing
Thank you! 😊
I want to thank you so much for this info. I just finished making a mat and it works! I am thrilled. I have been struggling to learn the proper method of cutting fabric for applique and in the process have ruined 2 mats. I am so happy to be able to replace them this way. Thanks again!
Wonderful! I think it is a good idea to make a couple of spares - you could even make one purely for scanning if you wish. The mats are too expensive to waste.
@@createinspain I want to make my own mats for the Scan n Cut 330D but I don't know what the base material is
@@cynthiafarris8879 she said it was a for rent sign
You are a genius!
Not really, but thanks anyway!
WOW!!!!! I thought I was ingenious but this just takes the cake with the sign! Amazing I can't wait to try this myself. I know this is old but it still works today. As a matter of fact with our new "president" I'm sure the cost will go through the roof. thanks!!!!
You're welcome.
I just purchased a scan n cut. Thank you so much for this. Will save me.
Just make sure you do the right mat! There are files for DX an CM machines, they have different reg marks.
Absolutely fabulous! i just jumped online to see if anyone had done this yet! Fantastic job! And thank you for sharing your work
You are so welcome! Yes, some people have already done it. There are files for the CM and DX machines - I made another video for the DX ones.
Just found this video yesterday, and I already have a new, wonderfully usable mat for my CM350! Tested it after stenciling the top, and it loaded with no issues! Applied glue next, and was cutting in no time. Thank you so much for giving us all the ability to make a new, inexpensive mat whenever we need one!!!
Glad to be of help!
Thank you for your hard work in this and for contributing to the community!!!
Glad to be of help.
Bless you for creating this and sharing it. I love my machine, but the mat prices are ridiculous! The prices here have jumped to $30 a piece when Cricut runs $15.00 for a two pack & off brands being even less. So frustrating! I'm excited to try my hand at making my own mats with your file & seeing how it goes!
You are so welcome!
You are absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I am delighted to have stumbled across this, thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this mat hack! Cant wait to modify some 12 and 24" mats! I know Im late to the party..but I have an older CM650 and this is perfect!
Glad to be of help!
This is amazing! Very nice Thank you so much. Yes mats are expensive. I will try this.
You are so welcome! Please share the video with your crafty friends!
Just found this today... You madam are an absolutely brilliant woman! Thank you soooooo much for sharing this! I am now a subscriber! 😊
Glad to be of service! Yet there are so many who have no idea I exist..
@@createinspain I shall be sharing your channel! 😍
@@gen-thethreadedbobbin Thank you!
Using your 24" template to convert a scanning mat, I cut the triangle using black vinyl, made a square 150% bigger and cut that with white vinyl, and stuck that over the second from left square, and then used the full template with cardstock to line up the black triangle, and it recognized it as a 12x24 cutting mat. If anyone wants to do this, arrange your cardstock in the normal spot, and then the two different vinyl below that, and line the parts up with it, and you get all the cuts in one go.
With further testing, for EVA foam, border your parts to be cut using double sided window kit tape, I'm cutting some fairly complex parts out, and it works quite well. I am doing three 4"x7" panels at a time with one sheet of 2mm thick foam, but I place the tape in between those panels, as well as the outside of them.
SEND THIS WOMAN MONEY PLENTY MONEY
Lol, that's funny, I take it you liked this video!
Thank you! I bought the DX225F a year ago and just got around to learning to use it. Yesterday I decided to try my first cut with it, cutting fabric with heat n bond. Big mistake! I ruined my brand new mat. I was searching for how to clean the heat n bond off the mat when I found your tutorial. I'm definitely going to try this!!
You may find that soap and water will remove it, but i am not familiar with heat and bond
Whoa! That is fantastic!! My original mat is still working just fine, but I’ll definitely give this a try. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
You are a freakin' genius! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! The file includes the DX mats now too.
Thanks so much....having an awful time finding May's here also. This is gonna help so much. Thanks for sharing. 🌿💞🌿
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have to go and look for something like the plastic you used. We don't have that sort of sign in the Netherlands. But I sure will try this out after the lock down. I guess I could use the Zig 2 way glue like I do when my mats don't stick anymore. Either I get to make it or not! You urned yourself a coffee with your kindness to share! Stay save! Yvon
Thank you! I found something in Aldi you may be able to use, Wall charts for kids see in here ruclips.net/video/jMoYm7wH0Zg/видео.html (If you look under the video, I have it time stamped)
This is GENIUS!! Quick question, does the Brother Scan n Cut cut through the plastic sign?
It's pretty tough, very similar to the ones you buy for Brother machines. While possible to cut through it, you are not likely to.
I have a Silver Bullet Pro & got a Scan N Cut that I haven’t taken the time to use as of yet. Love my SB so much I didn’t see the need to but figure I’ll give it a try now that your playing with yours. Thanks so much for the file, I’ll give it a try over the next week. Awesome job!
You're welcome! The software is very basic, the scanning seems to go well, it also cuts foam (at least the standard thin one) and stiff felt happily, I've not tried my really thick foam as I think it's too deep. I'd still use my Platinum for most things but it's nice to have something that can knock out quick shapes without the computer.
createinspain I forgot I don’t need a computer to do quick shapes, great reminder. Thanks!I don’t think I’ll be learning the software, I’m extremely comfortable with SCAL & can export fcm. Tho, 😂☺️😂 I may give it a shot just to see the difference.
@@Ceteria5 Yes, I'll be using SCAl still!
createinspain from your statement , the software is very basic, I figured you would keep using SCAL. I actually bought it for its scanning ability & thought I’d learn that feature, tho I haven’t as of yet! LOL Life just gets in the way, 🤪
Brilliant! top marks
This is more than amazing!
Glad you like it!
I’ve only just found this, thank you so much for sharing x
You are welcome!
Thank you great video so helpful. Have you used this machine for fabric. I am thinking of getting a cm900 and hope it will cut fabric.
Elizabeth - I've been trying to respond to your comment but the reply button wasn't working.....I would recommend a DX machine if your main interest is cutting fabric. The disc type blade and holder is only for the DX machines and I hear that it is much better for fabric. I rarely cut fabric, I have done it with a normal blade but I'm not the best person to ask about that.
@@createinspain thank you so much for your reply.
So thankful for this...could you tell me how to find the 12x24 mat? thanks so much!
I didn't do the CM 24 inch mat, only the DX one...sorry!
Well I like many here are going to say a big thank you, if I'm honest I never even thought this was possible only just picked up your video I have the newer model and I'm sure this will work just as well. I've sold on my earlier model to a friend and if you don't mind I will send her your video as she is having problems getting mats at the mo. Kind regards Paul from London UK
I have another video specific to the DX mats ruclips.net/video/GWvjzwLGE6s/видео.html By all means, share the videos, the more who know about this the better!
Wow thanks. You are amazing!
So, bought 12x24 mat but doest working on my ScanNCut Dx. So the store told me to keep it ,plus money back. I was going to throw the mat, but I saw your video and my question is how to erase the marks already there on the mat ?
I have never removed the marks but if you want to give it a shot (may or may not work) I would suggest trying nail polish remover. If you use acetone, make sure to rinse off immediately as it may even eat through the plastic. Test it on the bottom of the mat first! Make sure to protect the rest of your mat while working on it. Failing that, covering the original marks with a good quality white vinyl may work.
You absolute queen, thank you for sharing!
You're welcome
Thank you for this video, I have a cm350 machine and these mats work great. I used for sale signs 15x19 inches for hear in the USA
Brilliant!
Wow❗❗❗ Wonder if it would work for SDX125 machines????

@@lynnmcfarlin6261 You're welcome
Thank you so much. You are my new hero. Stay safe and thanks again
Glad I could help
Great tutorial thank you
I have both a Cricut and Scan n Cut 350cm---I haven't really used the Scan-n-Cut much, but I am trying, that being said, as one can tell from the age of the number, I have had it a few years. I've not even replaced the blade or the mat. I attempted to replace the mat once, but the price that I found was ridiculous. Especially when I can get 3 mats for my Cricut machine for the same price. I got the replacement mat and it wouldn't even read in my machine--stupid me cut it up. Last night I literally cut through my mat and looking at the replacement costs I'm like there has to be a way around that sticker shock. Definitely going to be trying this out
Yup. If the mats were a sensible price, these videos would be nowhere near as popular as they are!
Wonderful to finally find your video and tutorial. One question though, I'm wanting to create some vinyl decals. What do you use to make the mat tacky like the original mats, without the paper, card stock, vinyls from sticking too the mats. Any help much appreciated 🌷
Pin Flair glue is recommended in the UK, tack it over and over will work (best diluted or you will never get stuff off the mat) or a chunky Zig glue pen if that is all you can get.
Genius-How very resourceful! Amazing!!
Thank you very much! My mind works in mysterious ways!
@@createinspain In these difficult times, nobody wants to waste money unnecessarily- those mats are expensive. Also, by recycling a For Sale sign is also saving the environment - sheer genius! Well done You😍
@@cfran671 Thanks! You do realise I'm blushing now!
How do I find the files you spoke about
Must try! TY 😊
Hi there - did you perhaps make a stencil for the larger mat as well?
I did for the DX. I no longer use a Brother, contact the Everything ScanNCut FB group, I let the owner have the files.
Did not know you could do that when you zoom in on the mat with the red arrows!!!! Been using it for over 18months!!!
Thanks for the tutorial.
Glad I could help!
I'd love to know how you made the templates for the arrows.
Arrows are only triangles with a stalk!
what do you use for stickiness on the front of the machine. I don't remember it being mentioned. thanks for your top tip.
Not sure I understand your question "on the front of the machine'. If you mean the stickiness for the mat, you can use either a chunky Zig two way glue pen or Tack it over and Over (which you can dilute a bit if you want a less sticky mat!). Just spread THINLY!
Thank you very much.😊 This is my hope.
fabulous this is brilliant, I restick my mats but there's a lot of grim stuck underneath the glue, looks terrible
I use a cleaner for wood burner stove glass on my mats to take old gunk off - leave it on for 10 min, scrub and repeat if needed. Rinse in soapy water and then clean water. They look like new after that!
@@createinspain i did use glue remover, but with cats that hair just gets everywhere.. I gave up 😂
Thank you so much for this!!! 2 questions....Do you perhaps know the thickness of the "Rental Board" you used please? And do you by any chance know what I can use for an embossing mat, as I messed mine up on the first use.... right in the middle :(
Glad you found it helpful. It is the same thickness pretty much as the originals. It isn't board it is plastic..For an embossing mat for the SNC, I use craft foam - but I don't have the official kit, I have made my own:)
@@createinspain Thank you for coming back to me so quickly :) yes I do have a plastic, but it does feel slightly thicker than the SNC mat so I thought before i go out and buy others, perhaps you know the thickness. I would love to hear how you made your embossing mat with foam, is it sticky?
@@nancybotes5808 I have callipers so just measured both the original mat and the for sale sign.0.3mm (or 0.01in). Have a look at these ruclips.net/video/8IKu13sGiaY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/CWqD_23CVAw/видео.html I think that should show you the embossing.
@@createinspain WOW that makes it so much easier. Thank you for this, its all new to me so still figuring it all out but you are so right... your way makes it so much easier, less fuss. Thank you so very much.
@@nancybotes5808 no problem!
Thank you so much for showing use how to do this you are brilliant. xx
Thanks! I published the updated version of this again today...files inc DX and CM
Fabulous video. Thank you but where can I find the files to make the markings for the mat?
In the info box here under the video!
This looks fantastic. Where can I find the design file please to make my own?
File linked in the information under the video
Thank you so much for sharing this file.
My pleasure!
OMG! You are amazing! Many thanks for this. I'm gobsmacked lol.
You're welcome! Make sure to forward the video link to your crafting friends!
Will this work on my sdx 1200 as I am having problem with loading the original mats I have a cm900 which the mats load but machine won't recognise
ruclips.net/video/T7xnKmfoRos/видео.html This video has the DX mats
Thank you for the video, does this work for 12x24 mats as well?
Yes it does! I have the file for the DX 24 inch DX - if the link here doesn't include it, it is under the DX mat video. It's even easier as it has fewer markings:)
@@createinspain thanks so much for this. I was about to go buy a new 30cm x 60cm as the the one I purchased with my machine years ago doesn’t “read” properly. It is the first time I’m using this long one and it says it can’t read it. Any suggestions would be be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your lovely vid!
You are a genius.
I don't know about that, I have to work hard to bring some of my ideas to fruition! Here's one on DX mats ruclips.net/video/jMoYm7wH0Zg/видео.html
My goodness!!
After nearly 6 years of owning my 600 im only just finding this.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Are the cut files sized already?
If not, what should i size them to?
I no longer have a Brother but the cut flies were sized as they should be. If you need more help, go to the FB page for Brother by Jennifer Brodie - I gave the files to her group when I sold my machine and many have used them since.
I have the CM-350 and my mats don't have those markings. Do you know how to make mats for that model?
I made files for both the DX AND CM models and another video on how to make them. ruclips.net/video/T7xnKmfoRos/видео.html
Muchísimas gracias por compartir
How do you cut out your triangles and squares so precise. I don't see anyway that you can trace them and then have the tiny squares and triangles matching the mat so you can make your own mat. I have watched this video several times and can't seem to figure it out. Thank you.
You don't need to do the hard work, the file is linked below ,the video I did all the work already!
Maybe this is answered somewhere Else but what are you using for your mat material? Are you just getting plastic from somewhere and cutting it into a square? That doesn’t seem to be addressed
It is addressed, you obviously skipped through the video.
@@createinspain yup I sure did! Yard sale sign! Brilliant!
Hello again...I would like to know if in buying this Brother Scan n Cut if it has completely replaced the need to buy dies? Dies are expensive and if this machine does the job for cutting all I need for cards then I think it will be worth the buy. Looking forward to your answer and thank-you in advance!
Kathleen, I don't think I have any cards on my channel that were made with dies - maybe one to review some. It is a different way of working but gives you so much more freedom. You do need to learn how the machine works, and you MIGHT want to use different software to design in, as I do. However if you were to buy a DX model with the auto blade, I think you would be very happy. If you want to cut around stamped images, you can (without even using a computer). You can use any SVG that I have linked under my videos, or any others you find. You can cut paper, leather , card etc My honest opinion (and I am not paid by anyone) is that a DX machine would pay for itself in a very short time. For example, you would buy a box die for around 30 dollars/pounds/euros. On Sunday, I make a lovely diamond shape box, with pattern detail and my file is free....
createinspain You seem to be confirming what I think, that the machine would quickly pay for itself, as the dies that I have bought in this last year have been quite pricey. I have only been making cards for 1 year but I was searching for a lot cheaper way...otherwise it is just an expensive hobby. I manage to sell all the cards I make but that doesn’t leave much profit if one has to continually buy dies and stamps. I am thinking of the SDX 1200...it seems to be a good choice from what I see. And I am also able to design my own things (I have an I-Pad Pro for that), so I was thinking this is maybe what I am looking for. I came across your channel and I am so glad I did, it has been an eye-opener. Thank-you!
@@Katerina-vm2ok I really like the SDX1200, and considering I have used much bigger and more expensive machines, that is quite a recommendation!
createinspain Thank-you for your help!
@@Katerina-vm2ok You're welcome
Hi just found your video , great idea thank you. I can't quite catch what you said that the plastic you use for the mat.
It is a cheap for sale sign, sold all over the place here in Spain. The same sort of plastic that the original mats are made from.
Thank you very much . Will look for it when shops open. One more please the cut files for the top and bottom parts . Can I find any link from your video. Thank you very much.
How can I get the svg for the mat? Thanks so much for doing this!
The files are in a link under the video.
Brilliant idea!! Thank you so much for sharing this diy for us. I have one question , you taped your image on the mat. It does not shift while cutting. How did the paper stick one the mat and did not move while cutting??
Normal cutting mats are tacky. You can do the same thing with either Pinflair stencil glue, Zig two way markers (there is a chunky one) or various dilutions (depends how sticky you want it) of Tack it Over and Over. I've not watched this video again but if I used tape it was because the mat wasn't sticky, I must have taped it well!
Hi great news... I asked a quested 3 months ago and now am back at trying to use the 60cm mat... does the template work for the 30 x 60 ordinary standard mat?? trying to do a large cut out...
thanks so much for this. I was about to go buy a new 30cm x 60cm as the the one I purchased with my machine years ago doesn’t “read” properly. It is the first time I’m using this long one and it says it can’t read it. Any suggestions would be be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your lovely vid!
I didn't do the large mat for the CM machine because I didn't have it for long, I have a DX now. I am guessing that the reg marks are different, as they are for the usual DX mats but if you can find images of the mats for both machines, you should be able to see if they happen to be the same. Knowing Brother, probably not! I did a video more recently on the DX ones...
@@createinspain thanks for that. Is there anyone who has CM long mat who can take a photo and put it in here so I can see what it should look like please?
I may be having a senior moment, but where do I find the fle for this hack? Thanks in advance.
Should be still in the info box...I have not taken it out :) It is a drop box link.
@@createinspain thank you.
Do you have a template for 24x12 inch standard may for cm series.. I think the graphics on these is different. In NZ these are really expensive.
Sorry, I never bothered when I had the CM and now I only have the DX
Hi Chris. Did you find a good source of plastic to use for this? Being in Australia, I’m having trouble finding something, perhaps something in NZ would be available in aus?
thank you for the tips! Could you advise what thickness is best for a mat please? -Subbed
You need the same thickness as the Brother mats.
Hi, hope that you don't mind I have shared link to this video with FB Scanncut group, everyone with the CM series is very excited by it, although all are asking about the thickness of the sign, I am sure in the past both of us have used differing plastic with our silver bullets, but cannot now remember what they were. thanks again - this may stir me to making similar for the DX series
Don't mind in the slightest! The plastic may be a fraction heavier than the original but not much in it!
@@createinspain it would be amazing a video with the sdx series
I shared your video with my scanNcut group in spanish, they can't believe it 😅

Won't work.
Excellent tutorial

Thank you!
@@createinspain 💞
Amazing! I’m going to try to figure this out for my SDX125. How did you make the lines around the square? 😊
I have the files there for the DX mats too, inc the 24 inch one. Just scroll through the newer videos and you will find a more recent update.
@@createinspain thank you
The dots you left off are code for the month and year of manufacture.
Yes, I found that out shortly after I made the video:)
I don't actually own a scan/cut mat as my CM600 came without a mat. Can you tell me what thickness that 'for sale' sign is please? Are they easy to obtain in the UK?
0.3m'd suggest maybe the sort of stores that sell cheap things, maybe old fashioned DIY stores, the Range? On line will be dear because of postage. A local sign maker may sell you some if you know of one.
Hi, brilliant idea
where do I find the find to make this please
The files are in a drop box link under the video
thank you. I just purchased 2 mats "on sale" from Amazon at just over $13.00 each.
Sorry! I would have put it up earlier but I decided to work on the file a bit more to get it just right!
@@createinspain ... I bought them a while back. But now knowing your "technique", I will remember in the future.
@@rdecook651 just make sure you bookmark it for later:)
@@createinspain thank you, I have put in my favorites folder on YT
Will this work with the new auto blade?
If you use the DX mat pattern, yes.....as long as your mat is made of a plastic of the same type. You can't put a thick mat in, the machine won't accept it.
@@createinspain Thanks
Thank you for this!! I have not been able to get the template to open. Any ideas on how to do that so I can print it out?
Download the templates and either import or open.
That is awesome! They have discontinued the model I have so I can’t find mats anywhere!!!!
Question- what do you use for your adhesive?
There is a newer version of this video ruclips.net/video/T7xnKmfoRos/видео.html too. I use DILUTED Tack it Over and Over. About 50/50 solution. If you use it straight, it will be so tacky you'll spend more time trying to remove pieces than cutting them out:)
Thank you
Awesome
Pure genius !!! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Sorry for the ignorance but will this work with any scan and cut? I just got the sdx125
I did files for the SDX so as long as you choose the correct one, yes.
Thank you -- I just cut a hole in the middle of one of my matts and about to combine two of them as one. By any chance do you have the template for the 12x24. My old one, which is in perfect shape will not longer read from the software updates.
If you have a DX, then yes, but not for the CM - have a look at your mat and see what the difference is, you may be able to use it as a partial guide..
You can cover the cut with duct tape on the reverse side covering the hole it will work perfectly ok
@@chrisilogan8059 You can indeed!
Thank you! I’m going to need a new mat soon.
I hear they are phasing out the CM models - so I expect the mats will get dearer as they are going to be harder to find...
Thanks, great video, am going to try to save my new cm mats and cover the codes with over with Vinyl and see if that works 👍
Good luck!
How did you make the stencil?
I cut it on my cutter.
I can't find the link to be able to make my own mats. Where is it please? Thank you!
I no longer keep the files as I don't have a Brother machine now. I handed them over to Jennifer here -facebook.com/groups/SNCwJennifer
Do you think this would work for a 24 inch mat? I just used my 24 inch mat for the last time. I'm going to give this a try. Thank you so much for your hack!
I think the file contains the marks for the 24 inch, so no reason why not.
Fantastic
Thanks, glad to make you happy!
Hi! Is it possible to request for a sample dots decode? or how to make it? i lost my scan n cut mat
The files for the various mat reg marks are under the video. There is also a more recent video ruclips.net/video/jMoYm7wH0Zg/видео.html.

Just scroll down under more info - Read right down to the bottom and you will find what you need.
you are a hero! tks. ♡
I just wish there wasn't a need for this.That the mats were good to start with.
How did you get the pattern to make the header and footer template?
A lot of effort!
