I have just bought a second hand CM550. I'm so glad I found your channel. No other TH-cam has explain the very basics for a new user who has never used a Brother scan and cut before. Can't wait to try making a shaped card.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve just come across this on TH-cam and can’t wait to dust off my CM machine and have a go at welding a shape! This is just the series I’ve needed and you explain so clearly. ❤
Amazing explanation so glad I found you as you don’t talk too fast or yabber unnecessarily so I found you very easy to understand and your visual directions were very clear too.Thanks so much I have expanded my knowledge and feel more comfortable trying a different task after following you.
Mel, you are a star. I have just found this and am starting my journey with you at the very beginning as every time I go to use my scan and cut I get overwhelmed.
Hi Mel,my husband has bought me a second hand cm300 I can't wait to get it now I've seen your video for beginners, you are so good at explaining it all I'm excited now, thank you.
Here I go - got my SDX2500D (UK) yesterday (already got a Cricut Maker) and I’m terrified of it. Found you and plan to watch all your classes. Thank you in advance!
Hi Mel, I found your channel yesterday, and this is the second video that I have watched, you are very good at explaining the machine, I have a cm 350 and love it, thanks for your time, and demo. Cheers Anna.
This is wonderful. I have subscribed and I am so grateful you are taking the time to do this. I have used my scan and cut to cut out stamped images but that’s all I have done. I am really looking forward to this journey and getting to really know what I can do with my machine. Thank you
Thanks for subbing! and make sure you give everything a go! it might seem difficult at first but with practice youll get there and find no end of used for your machine!
Thankyou Mel, I have learnt so much on both my machines, even with using my machine, I take my cm300 in my touring caravan with me, I can not wait for sept zoom class x
Glad to help! make sure you send us some of your makes! you can send the to studio@highlightcrafts.com and we might be able to show them off in a future class!
I've just acquired a second hand CM300 and find your tutorials very helpful. I couldn't quite catch what you said about getting updates from a website, so could you let me know how to go about doing this please.
Hi Miss Mel Senior Susie Stamps sent me over to this channel in regards to the SCAN N CUT.......saying that you had a tutorial on the CM models......I have a CM550 blue model that I have only used maybe 4 times and then I have packed it away as I couldn't find any tutorials on how to use it..... I would really like to learn more on what I can do with it PLEASE...Can you help me.......🙏🙏🙏 Hugs 🤗🤗🤗and Kisses 😘😘😘from Aussie Land......xoxoxo
Hi! we release new videos each month using the CM machines and these should apply to your machine! if you're looking for some basics there are some great videos on the Create & Craft YT Channel here -th-cam.com/video/GEdRyJjR-RQ/w-d-xo.html
sorry its taken so long to reply! which machine do you have? any of the CM Series should work the same but if you have an SDX machine we have separate videos covering that type of machine as they are slightly different
Thank you for your tutorials Mel....I have a CM550DX machine which I have had for 7 years and I must admit that it has got me beaten......you are my last hope of learning this machine.....I get it out of the box and it very quickly goes back in.....is there any written classes that I could follow and work on rather than try and remember how you did it? Thank you once again.....Mary (Australia)
Hi Caroline! Unfortunately we dont sell the CM machines any more, but we do supply the SDX Series on our website. You can find it here - highlightcrafts.com/shop/tools/brother-scanncut-sdx1200-machine/ If youre set on a CM machine, it might be worth looking on facebook marketplace or Ebay if you cant find one through an official distributer
Hi Diane, there isnt a manual as such. if you are looking to get started with canvas we have made an educational USB that might help, you can find it here - highlightcrafts.com/shop/usbs/look-learn-craft-canvasworkspace-education-usb/
Got mine out of the box...have a question..had to order another mat..I got a low tack mat and I re eived one that can be loaded either way but you said the one for my machine Is just one way this one is green. But can either way...how do I get the one with one way
Brilliant Mel. Had mine for years and finally got it out!

Hi, looking to buy a new CM, but can't find anywhere what the difference between the CM 300 and the CM 750 is... except the price 😂
Hi Mel I have sdx 1200 but have put it back in the box as it won't line up with print off's . Very disappointed as expensive .
hi Wendy! can you email us at info@highlightcrafts.com as im sure theres something we can do to help!
I have the brother for 2 years and have not used it! What is my problem?
Get it out of the box and just have a play!
