I was just hunting how to cut plain vinyl when I discovered your channel. I’m a 79 years young lady trying to learn new tricks and I must say your instructions are so interesting that I’m hoping that you have more just like it. I’m new to scan and cut, it came with my sewing machine, and want to learn all about it. Thanks for sharing your time and amazing talent
Ms. Judy this is AMAZING and inspiring!! I hope others will follow your lead and learn more skills! I just bought a setting machine and am new to it. Keep creating and Thank you for sharing!
I am 52 and having a go at new things to after medical problems have me at home all the time. It’s fantastic to know I am not on my own venturing into the world of creating. Good luck, onwards and upwards to all of us vintage people! 🤣🥂
I was confused to buy a silhouette or Cricut. Since I like making my own designs and seen this video I made up my mind. It's none of those machines. Thank you for this. I can wait to purchase
OMG thank you! I just ordered one of these machines, and every tutorial I have found so far just rambles on and on about nonsense. I appreciate people who get right to it and stay with it!
I have a BRAND NEW Scan&Cut DX230 Disney Limited Edition that I purchased last year in a box, has not been opened yet. I am have purchased the Vinyl Kit too. I am very intimidated tos start using them. I also purchased a brand new Brother Luminaire XP2 Embroidery Machine. I have never embroidered in my 50 years of sewing garments and everything else. I finally got some lessons from my dealer and now enjoying it so much. Now, it's maybe you that will encourage me to start using my scan&cut. I have also purchase the ironing gadgets. I have all the accessories that I need. I will continue watching your tutorial. Thank you for taking the time slow doing your tutorial.
Just found your channel because I searched for Brother Scan & Cut. Your content is AWESOME. I sew too and am learning to embroider. So I subscribed IMMEDIATELY. 🥰😍🤩😍😍🥰😍🤩
Plzzz make more video's on this machine. I bought mine 2 years ago and still don't know how to use it. The place I bought it from wouldn't give me lessons. They said go on TH-cam. But I've looked at 100's of videos. Yours is straight to the point and doesn't make my head feel like its going to exploded from unnecessary or dragged out brain numbing information. oh and I adore the skull bear shirt. Thanks so much for an excellent video :-D👍 Glenne
I love your 💀 🐻!! Back in the 70's it was popular to get custom t-shirts made. We'd go to the t-shirt shop and the walls would be covered in dedigns. Like flash in a tattoo studio. Anyway, you picked out your shirt, your design and the guts made you a shirt. They had the big press type irons but it's basically the same principle. The thing is, those guys always used the old school style chalkboard erasers. The black felt ones. After they press/ironed on the design, they'd glide the eraser all over it to kind of absorb the heat, then use it to hold down the material as he pulled back the backing paper. I haven't tried heat transfer yet but I'm going to start. Thought I'd mention it as it might come in handy if you do a lot of heat transfer stuff
Oh I'm familiar with that process - its great how much easier these tasks have gotten over the years too. Thanks for watching - Happy Holidays to you this year!
Just came across your video while looking for scan and cut how to's. Then clicked on your site and all these sewing videos came up. Just have to say AWESOME!!! Now to see if you teach server use. Bought one many many yrs ago and can't figure it out. Must go purchase my scan and cut. Thanks!
Oh excellent, happy to help! I do have 2 videos on how to thread and use sergers and overlock machines. The one with the Brother Serger is much easier to see the threading process :)
I am an old lady who took my machine out last year and have never registered it or downloaded the software. Thank you for walking me through the process it is not as scary as I thought. You are very precise.
By far the best video i have ever seen this is honestly the best video for beginners every other video on how to make a design and cut vinyl and transfer it to a shirt for beginners that i have seen are more for people that already do this and just want to learn a few more things those videos show you things on how to make a design that is wayyy to difficult for a beginner and they only show you how to apply vinyl using a cricut easy press or a heat press but they dont realize that a beginner is doing just that beginning so they might not have a easy press or a heat press wich makes people think that if you dont have these things then you cant get started on making shirts ... thank you so so much for showing everyone that you can heat press a shirt without all that expensive equipment and that you can doit with something you most likely already have at home this is exactly how a video for beginners should be excellent video man thank you again i am subscribing to you right now
Thank you very much for such a thorough and positive comment! Happy this was able to help you without the need for a bunch of unnecessary specialty tools. Hope you end up making some terrific new projects this winter!
That was a very enjoyable video to watch. You covered everything involved in taking your design from start through to finish without skipping bits. Most commendable.
WOW THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WATCHING YOUR VIDEO. I ADMIRE YOUR DEDICATION. THIS IS ALSO MY VERY FIRST TIME SEEING ANY KIND OF VINYL WORK, AND MAKING THE STENCIL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT SERVICE. VERY INTERESTING. YOUR DYN-O-MITE !!!!
This is the best beginner video, thank you so much for all the information you share. I was feeling really lost and frustrated before I found your channel. Thank you again ☺️
Fantastic Xx I have a brother scan and cut machine however never used or watched the vinyl cutting and application process before, and honestly "thank bloody god" it was with you as I reckon I'd of watched 10 seconds and switched off with utter boredom. Thanks again x
Hey! I recently got a brother's scan and cut sdx 125e and wanted to try starting a business but had no clue what I wanted to do. I just happened to come across this video and I just wanna say thank you so very much!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯 this is the BEST beginners video of all time 💯💯💯💯💯 I also just subscribed!!!!
One of the best how-to videos for using your Brother Scan N Cut - In fact, all your videos are super informative. Since I use my cutter sparingly, I tend to forget some steps so I consistently refer back to this video. Thank you!
man, i've been staring at this machine for a while now... saw one at my local sewing shop, but they have the one preloaded with a ton of clipart, and want twice as much... the lady was pressuring me to buy it... then lied about how it has a bigger scanning bed, and other stuff... turns out, it's just preloaded designs... and i was about to order one, but TCL released the new 2020 tv's today, and i had to buy one... LOL... maybe next month....thanks for the videos... you totally sold me on this machine...
Yeah thats no fun when sales folks lie and pressure you to do stuff. Brother has a full list of specs on their website for its capabilities, so certainly do your own research (or look up videos lol). I'm excited to show what else this can do!
@@TockCustom also, i want to say thank you for your videos... i got myself that shirt pattern, and i'm on my third shirt... used a felted seam like in your seam video for the top of the shoulders and sides... love the way they came out... all thanks to your videos... you're amazing, and helped me out so much...
Thanks man! I'm so glad I ran across your tutorials. Your style is a useful compliment to the more cutesy/crafty/quilty videos I've watched. And I love the skull bear! It's funny.
28:34 thank you so much for the tutorial being a first timer and your video answered a lot of my questions. I’m so grateful that I came across your video.
The standard tack mat is used for vinyl, probably why yours didn't hold the vinyl well. I have found that washing the mats under warm water is a great way to remove any dirt etc and revive them a bit.
This is a great video. I learned how to set up my scan n cut with WIFI which has been a huge leap forward for me. Great and concise instructions, thank you. I love your designs and I am so impressed you can sew too.
Really high quality video! Getting refreshed on vinyl cutting and this video made me 100% comfortable using this type of cutter and software. Also the addition of that other design software was awesome! I wish you reviewed vinyl cutters all the way up the spectrum to high end pro machines because of how well you explained everything!
Awesome stuff man, have you tried applique embroidery? That scan and cut will be so useful for that. I use scrap fabric and cut it to the shape of the design, then use the embroidery machine to zigzag stitch around the fabric attaching it to the pattern piece.
I'm actually planning a couple videos on applique already! You can do it with the scan n cut, or with an embroidery machine - so there are a couple great options. Thanks for the recommendation!
Oh you showed off at the end, tailoring your shirt at the end lol…thank you for taking the time out to make such a video. Your step by step tutorial was very precise and informative-easy to understand. I’m hoping I can find some more advice on your page as I’m new to graphic designing. Take care
Hadn’t thought of this as such a useful tool...I usually buy the Imperial Cog sticker for my car from Etsy...looks like I could make it myself AND make tshirts...cool idea. Thanks for sharing this. Love the videos...they inspire me to keep trying stuff.
I'll be doing some more videos on other ideas very soon (without all the into setup stuff). There's a surprising amount of things you can do with this machine! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks bro! I just got this machine and a heat press to do shirts, hats, mugs, etc for my music promotion. You saved me a lot of time and decreased the learning curve drastically! I subbed. Looking forward to what may come next.
Oh that's awesome! I'm excited to do more videos with this machine and other methods of personalizing garments. Have fun with your new machine, there's so much you can do! 😊
Great intro to the ScanNCut. I asked Becky (GoingApeCostume) about her machine and she referred me to your TH-cam video. Haven't used this type of cutting machine before but I'm looking around for something that might be able to cut stencils that I can use for airbrushing. Need to do some more checking around but this is definitely a great start to seeing what this type of machine can do.
This looks like so much fun! It’s amazing that normal people can just go buy a machine to make custom things like this, love how accessible it is to the public and not just to bigger companies or businesses. Also, I wanted to add that I love how you slap stickers all over your machines, wish I could buy them that way because I love stickers too but I’m usually too nervous to actually put them on things I own in fear that I’ll eff it up somehow haha. Maybe one day you can make your own brand of sewing machines etc. and have them come with stickers either already on them or a pack so people can customize the machines how they want with your stickers (wishful thinking)
I love everything about this comment! It truly is amazing that such high quality items can be made with recreational home machines now. Plus it's so damn fun! Obviously I'm a total sticker addict, I can't even help myself (even though my sponsors hate them lol). I adore the idea of having my own line of machines someday with stickers already on them. That is a fantasy I'd love to see materialize someday :) Thanks for your continued support and comments, hope you're having a wonderful week!
Tock Custom sponsors be damned! (Mostly jk of course) I like your more grungy/skater aesthetic and overall badassery compared to a pristine workroom, it feels more real and approachable, especially for guys that are probably interested in sewing and crafting but are maybe worried about it still being more geared towards women/grandmas. Nerds and cosplayers unite!
I am new to your videos as I just got my scan and cut. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making these videos!! So much fantastic easy to follow information for beginners.
Great Channel. Picked up a PE-770 and your vid's were critical to setting it up, thanks. For weeding .. I find it much easier to do it while the backing is still attached to the cutting mat. Then peel it all off the mat and cut out individual parts. Haven't seen it mentioned in the comments, and I cut a lot of vinyl.
Yep! Exactly the same principal but for more 'home personal project' applications. Which can be pretty cool depending on your goals. Thanks for watching buddy!
Thanks I like your videos! more or less this video change my mind of buying a Embroidery Machine. My conclusion you can get some amazing result with a Embroidery Machine but cutting vinyl feel faster and cheaper to get started! and when I don't have a Embroidery graphic program that cost like $1600 this is a more economic friendly way to start
Hi Tock, Brother has now brought out a special blade just for vinyl cutting and holder. Its finer so you can do really detailed delicate cuts in your patterns, also if you purchase the vinyl cut there is an activation card that releases more designs for vinyl use in Canvas and also a weeding box to use around your design. good video. Have you invested into the cricut easy press to help you with your attachment of vinyl , it produces easy, even heat much better than an iron and not to expensive.
I got some of the new Brother blades, and they work great! I REALLY want one of those larger presses for sure, I've been meaning to get one but haven't had the time lately. I'll be doing quite a few more videos with vinyl cutting projects as soon as I can!
I love this, your presentation is amazing, ive never heard of the brother scan and cut, i am placing my order now, i was looking into cameo but watching this video made me change my mind and i am going for brother. Thank you so much
Thanks for the frog tape info. I've never seen it and quickly ordered it for my scan n cut mats. U rock. The tutorial is great. Ur videos are always simple, direct and informative. Happy Holidays!
OMG I can't stop laughing!! I love these videos Tock makes....I love his attitude toward all the Jesus comments he gets, this is an amazing sewing/learning community!
Love it! Just brought a Scan n Cut and watching what you did with your machine. I am very excited about all the possibilities for me. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more videos.
What was the type of permanent vinal u used for the cup you introduced ? I love the metallic look and that is perm. Please send me the link on where to purchase. Ty
Like your sewing courses very much. Learned a lot from you. But regarding T shirts and cutting i have a few tips/sugestions.. For weeding is better to use tweezers. To hold the material down try using clips similar like for loundry drying.. When pelling the backing vinyl off try at a sharp angle..for complex images use printer :)
Thank you so much! Certain types of vinyl come off the film differently, so tweezers would be tough on this particular material, but for stickers and other soft vinyls it works great!. Also you're correct about peeling it at a sharper angle for sure, especially when using transfer tape on other applications :) Thanks for helping people out this this comment. Hope you're having a terrific week!
Hi Tock! I was trying to think of what kind of videos I'd like to see you do lol. Could you please do one on putting in elastic around a waistband please? I love all your vids that I've watched and plan on watching all of them! God bless.
Tock Custom yes like pj’s...thank you so much! Just made my first pair of pj bottoms for our ten yr old Granddaughter ...they came out better than expected (🤣🤣) but the waistband wouldnt stretch any wider. Did I not tighten the elastic enough ? I only overlapped the elastic bout half inch before putting under the casing. Youre awesome Tock-thanks for sharing your talent!
I don’t need to buy this machine. I don’t need to buy this machine. I don’t need to buy this machine. Great video now you have me debating buy another $400 machine hahaha
Apwelch94 Cricut machine are way better and simple to use and if You live in USA you are about to have great treat,they always have great offers and pricing is way cheaper than in UK
Thanks so much for this video - you have helped me decide to go Brother. You mention the machine can cut thin wood - which type of wood would this be? Balsa?
Definitely a great video for those who are looking into getting this machine and wanting to know how to use it! 😁 I kinda lost it at the skull bear 😆 But that just made the video even more amazing.
When you mentioned while doing the skull bear that some lines where doubled up, does that mean the blade will cut a thin line either side of the thicker line? I’m researching cutters to aid with creating stained glass patterns and I need the space to allow for the copper foil or lead that goes around each glass piece. I need that so the pieces start true to the pattern and are of correct size. I hope I explained myself. Your video is amazing easy to understand. This is the machine I’m strongly considering.
I have watched this video at least 5 times! thank you for the much needed help taking the leap to vinyl cutting with my scan n cut! Any chance you make a video on how! to design the svg that you are wearing in the video? I watched the time lapse of it being cut and ironed but how did you design it? Or where can I find a design like it? Love your videos!!
Oh wow! I really enjoyed this video. Now you've got me interested. I have 2 Brother Sewing machines! Love them. I can't wait to see more videos about this machine. I'm not familiar with Brother Scan & Cut. How many are there??? Would this be good for someone just starting out??
It’s a great machine. The best part is if your big into appliqués or stamping it has a built in scanner that can cut around the images. Works way better than the Cricut print and cut. Also with the auto blade you don’t have to select a material at all it’ll automatically cut it.
This is one of the intermediate Brother vinyl cutters, but it has a wide scope of projects you can do with it. Plus I love Brother machines in general :) I certainly recommend this machine for beginners, or even people who are very familiar with cutters. I'm looking forward to showing what else this machine can do now that I have the full "intro video" out of the way!
In the future I'd love to see a video or segment on vinyl placement. Despite my semi successful t-shirt making for friends and such, I struggle on how far down (centering is easy but the vertical placement stumps me) to place the designs. Especially for making a mens shirt because well, I don't have a mens' body and design placement will vary depending on the size of the vinyl, size of the shirt, and the body that will be wearing it. However there has to be some type of "usual" placement for these things. Help a crafter out Tock? lol Also for the shirts that have a one side chest logo, that's a whole process and I'm still not sure where the heck I'm supposed to put it.
Oh, if you're doing designs on men's shirts, just google some photos of Men's T-Shirts and compare the placement of their designs - I usually have the top of the design about 3 or 4 inches below the neckline depending on the size, but there are always exceptions. For small designs where a breast pocket would be - it's always on the top left - and the placement is usually about 3.5 inches below the neckline, and 3.5 inches to the left (if you're looking at the shirt, you'll place the design on the right side, so keep that in mind). Hope this helps! Have a great weekend :)
@@TockCustom that's actually super helpful! Even using my own shirts as a reference I was never sure because they can be kind of all over the place depending on the size & other factors. Thank you so so much.
Thank you great video. Have they stopped adding projects to canvas work space as I was hoping for some great new Christmas projects but there inst any.
Great video but, I think it would be great to have a manual for the canvas workspace. If there is a manual out there please tell me where I can find it.
I used a permanent adhesive vinyl - Good for windows, glassware, car decals, or stickers. There's a TON of different manufacturers, so check out some options on Amazon or local craft shops for sure.
Excellent job with this video. I really learned a lot. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I did not know about the Brother machine so this was great!
Your video showed up on my home page. I do paper crafts and I bought the DX125 several years ago. I’ve only used it for a couple of small projects. I’ve always wanted to try vinyl, but never saw anyone explain it the way you do. I have one question, though. Was the vinyl placed on your mat shiny side up or down? Oh, my daughter would love that Skull Bear! ☺️ I hope you see this since it’s been 5 months since it was posted. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. I loved the way you took your time to explain everything clearly. Great content.. I'm now a new subscriber and I'm going to purchase a machine. Thank you 😊👍
Thanks for watching! I would imagine it would do the half cuts, otherwise it wouldn't really work as a vinyl cutter. It can do so much more too! Have a great week!

Maybe one day you can make your own brand of sewing machines etc. and have them come with stickers either already on them or a pack so people can customize the machines how they want with your stickers (wishful thinking)
I love everything about this comment! It truly is amazing that such high quality items can be made with recreational home machines now. Plus it's so damn fun!
Obviously I'm a total sticker addict, I can't even help myself (even though my sponsors hate them lol). I adore the idea of having my own line of machines someday with stickers already on them. That is a fantasy I'd love to see materialize someday :)
Thanks for your continued support and comments, hope you're having a wonderful week!
Tock Custom sponsors be damned! (Mostly jk of course) I like your more grungy/skater aesthetic and overall badassery compared to a pristine workroom, it feels more real and approachable, especially for guys that are probably interested in sewing and crafting but are maybe worried about it still being more geared towards women/grandmas. Nerds and cosplayers unite!
I am new to your videos as I just got my scan and cut. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making these videos!! So much fantastic easy to follow information for beginners.
You are so welcome! I plan on doing more, I love this machine 😊
Great Channel. Picked up a PE-770 and your vid's were critical to setting it up, thanks.
For weeding .. I find it much easier to do it while the backing is still attached to the cutting mat.
Then peel it all off the mat and cut out individual parts.
Haven't seen it mentioned in the comments, and I cut a lot of vinyl.
Looks like a tiny version of the vinyl letter cutter my dad used to make sign lettering with. Very cool.
Yep! Exactly the same principal but for more 'home personal project' applications. Which can be pretty cool depending on your goals. Thanks for watching buddy!
I just purchased the cutter. I get it on Wednesday. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks I like your videos!
more or less this video change my mind of buying a Embroidery Machine.
My conclusion you can get some amazing result with a Embroidery Machine but cutting vinyl feel faster and cheaper to get started!
and when I don't have a Embroidery graphic program that cost like $1600 this is a more economic friendly way to start
Great teaching
Keep up for all of us not so young who want to keep learning
After watching this I have much more knowledge about how to use the software for the cutting machines.
Excellent! Oh this software can read SVG (Vector Files) too - which is great if you have very specific logos or graphics :)
Such a great tutorial! On a side note....your pants are super cool 😍
lol thx!! I'm sure you figured this out... but I made them ;)
@@TockCustom you always have the best pants!
I want one. It looks like a tool I may need. I can cut Quilt Patterns too if it does Fabric. I like everything Brother. Thank you.
Yep, you can certainly cut fabric and use it for quilting and applique work :)
This was a great video. When I use an iron to place vinyl, I always iron on reverse too. It seems to "pull" the vinyl through and into the fabric.
Thanks! So it's supposed to "Pull" the vinyl through into the fabric, thats a good thing, yeah?
Hi Tock, Brother has now brought out a special blade just for vinyl cutting and holder. Its finer so you can do really detailed delicate cuts in your patterns, also if you purchase the vinyl cut there is an activation card that releases more designs for vinyl use in Canvas and also a weeding box to use around your design. good video. Have you invested into the cricut easy press to help you with your attachment of vinyl , it produces easy, even heat much better than an iron and not to expensive.
I got some of the new Brother blades, and they work great! I REALLY want one of those larger presses for sure, I've been meaning to get one but haven't had the time lately. I'll be doing quite a few more videos with vinyl cutting projects as soon as I can!
I love this, your presentation is amazing, ive never heard of the brother scan and cut, i am placing my order now, i was looking into cameo but watching this video made me change my mind and i am going for brother. Thank you so much
Thanks for the frog tape info. I've never seen it and quickly ordered it for my scan n cut mats. U rock. The tutorial is great. Ur videos are always simple, direct and informative. Happy Holidays!
That bear skull really looks nice 👍
Thank you for the info
Lol thanks, it was supposed to be the dumbest thing I could think of at the time 😅
I'm watching less than 3 minutes, liked and subscribed right away. Awesome content!!
Vinyl Jesus delivers! Give a man a shirt and you clothe him for a day, teach him to apply vinyl and you clothe him for life!
Hahahahaha! I love this :D
OMG I can't stop laughing!! I love these videos Tock makes....I love his attitude toward all the Jesus comments he gets, this is an amazing sewing/learning community!
@@GrammaPatriot ‘
😂😂
wow!!!!!!!! i want this machine!!!! this was such a detailed and amazing tutorial, thank you SO much!!
Awesome instructional video for this. I could see this being useful for masking for metal etching.... 🤔🤔🤔
Not only can it do that, but it can do metal and foil embossing as well, which is pretty rare and amazing :)
Thank you for this tutorial. You made vinyl cutting super easy!!
Can you do multi-colored applications of vinyl?
Great video!!
That is the question I Have
Love it! Just brought a Scan n Cut and watching what you did with your machine. I am very excited about all the possibilities for me. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more videos.
What was the type of permanent vinal u used for the cup you introduced ? I love the metallic look and that is perm. Please send me the link on where to purchase. Ty
Like your sewing courses very much. Learned a lot from you. But regarding T shirts and cutting i have a few tips/sugestions..
For weeding is better to use tweezers. To hold the material down try using clips similar like for loundry drying.. When pelling the backing vinyl off try at a sharp angle..for complex images use printer :)
Thank you so much! Certain types of vinyl come off the film differently, so tweezers would be tough on this particular material, but for stickers and other soft vinyls it works great!. Also you're correct about peeling it at a sharper angle for sure, especially when using transfer tape on other applications :)
Thanks for helping people out this this comment. Hope you're having a terrific week!
love the video.I want to get the Disney scan n cut sdx230x .not sure yet what the best one.
That's a great machine for sure, it's surprising how many different kinds of projects you can do - Hope you find the one you're looking for :)
I def want one of those. Excellent presentation and tutorial Tock!
Thank you very much!! I'll do some more videos soon with some other project ideas soon :)
Thanks tock! Just thought I'd double check with you... almost loaded my vinyl upside-down 💚🤙🎄
I love that it was a step-by-step project easy to follow thank you so much for that....also awsome design I loved it lol
PS I'm still always wearing those shirts I tailored with help from one of your tutorials 💖
Thanks for the great demo! You’ve inspired me to buy the Scan-n-Cut! Thanks again.
Hi Tock! I was trying to think of what kind of videos I'd like to see you do lol. Could you please do one on putting in elastic around a waistband please? I love all your vids that I've watched and plan on watching all of them! God bless.
Oh I could totally do a video on that, like for pajama pants, right? That would be super easy :)
Tock Custom yes like pj’s...thank you so much! Just made my first pair of pj bottoms for our ten yr old Granddaughter ...they came out better than expected (🤣🤣) but the waistband wouldnt stretch any wider. Did I not tighten the elastic enough ? I only overlapped the elastic bout half inch before putting under the casing. Youre awesome Tock-thanks for sharing your talent!
I don’t need to buy this machine. I don’t need to buy this machine. I don’t need to buy this machine.
Great video now you have me debating buy another $400 machine hahaha
Hahahaha, I thought the same thing when I was considering this... I'm happy I bought the damn thing! Thanks for watching :)
Apwelch94 Cricut machine are way better and simple to use and if You live in USA you are about to have great treat,they always have great offers and pricing is way cheaper than in UK
How can I sell $400 +200 in material to expense this whole thing?
That is the convo in my head. :)
Thanks so much for this video - you have helped me decide to go Brother. You mention the machine can cut thin wood - which type of wood would this be? Balsa?
Can it cut anything other than vinyl? Like cork or fabric? I'm thinking pattern pieces for a sewing project. Thank you - very clear demo.
Great tutorial, the explanation of the process is very easy to follow. Thank you.
You are welcome! Thank you so much for watching 😊
Definitely a great video for those who are looking into getting this machine and wanting to know how to use it! 😁 I kinda lost it at the skull bear 😆 But that just made the video even more amazing.
Hahahahaha! I was trying to make the dumbest thing ever while teaching the basics... mission accomplished 🤣
I actually want to create the skull bear shirt.
Great video my friend! OMG I could think of so many uses for one of those. May look into one at some point. Keep up the amazing content!
Thanks a ton Rabbers!! Call me sometime, it's been foreverrrrrr WTF is wrong with us!?
@@TockCustom No clue, but I think about you all the time. That has to count for something right?
Just bought a scan n cut and this was SOOOO helpful! Thank you!
When you mentioned while doing the skull bear that some lines where doubled up, does that mean the blade will cut a thin line either side of the thicker line? I’m researching cutters to aid with creating stained glass patterns and I need the space to allow for the copper foil or lead that goes around each glass piece. I need that so the pieces start true to the pattern and are of correct size. I hope I explained myself. Your video is amazing easy to understand. This is the machine I’m strongly considering.
I have watched this video at least 5 times! thank you for the much needed help taking the leap to vinyl cutting with my scan n cut! Any chance you make a video on how! to design the svg that you are wearing in the video? I watched the time lapse of it being cut and ironed but how did you design it? Or where can I find a design like it? Love your videos!!
Oh wow! I really enjoyed this video. Now you've got me interested. I have 2 Brother Sewing machines! Love them. I can't wait to see more videos about this machine. I'm not familiar with Brother Scan & Cut. How many are there???
Would this be good for someone just starting out??
It’s a great machine. The best part is if your big into appliqués or stamping it has a built in scanner that can cut around the images. Works way better than the Cricut print and cut. Also with the auto blade you don’t have to select a material at all it’ll automatically cut it.
This is one of the intermediate Brother vinyl cutters, but it has a wide scope of projects you can do with it. Plus I love Brother machines in general :)
I certainly recommend this machine for beginners, or even people who are very familiar with cutters. I'm looking forward to showing what else this machine can do now that I have the full "intro video" out of the way!
@@TockCustom, can't wait to see them!
In the future I'd love to see a video or segment on vinyl placement. Despite my semi successful t-shirt making for friends and such, I struggle on how far down (centering is easy but the vertical placement stumps me) to place the designs. Especially for making a mens shirt because well, I don't have a mens' body and design placement will vary depending on the size of the vinyl, size of the shirt, and the body that will be wearing it. However there has to be some type of "usual" placement for these things. Help a crafter out Tock? lol
Also for the shirts that have a one side chest logo, that's a whole process and I'm still not sure where the heck I'm supposed to put it.
Oh, if you're doing designs on men's shirts, just google some photos of Men's T-Shirts and compare the placement of their designs - I usually have the top of the design about 3 or 4 inches below the neckline depending on the size, but there are always exceptions.
For small designs where a breast pocket would be - it's always on the top left - and the placement is usually about 3.5 inches below the neckline, and 3.5 inches to the left (if you're looking at the shirt, you'll place the design on the right side, so keep that in mind).
Hope this helps! Have a great weekend :)
@@TockCustom that's actually super helpful! Even using my own shirts as a reference I was never sure because they can be kind of all over the place depending on the size & other factors. Thank you so so much.
Thank you great video. Have they stopped adding projects to canvas work space as I was hoping for some great new Christmas projects but there inst any.
I can't actually say - I always design my own projects. Maybe I should look at the pre-made projects more often :P
Best explanation. You are very articulate.
I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching 😊
Great video but, I think it would be great to have a manual for the canvas workspace. If there is a manual out there please tell me where I can find it.
I don't know if they have a manual... but I should totally make some videos on how to use it :) Good suggestion!
Fantastic video, commentary and love your styles. As a newbie to scan n cut and heat vinyl after watching feel positive try this. Thank you 😊
Helped a lot me thinking of starting my business
Omg you totally should! Now is the best time to do it!
sound like great machine, need to know does it do Rhinestones ???????
This is the best learning vedio that im looking for.....and really excellent job ..thank you
Very happy to help, thanks for watching!
Have you made a video on making jeans ? It would be quite helpful if you haven’t :)
Not yet, but its coming up on my list very soon!
Great tutorial. I hope you are a Brother rep.
Thank you! I sure am, they partnered me last year because I love their machines so much :)
Thank you I’m looking at get a machine in future very good clear tutorial hoping you do more so I can understand to get the best from the machine 😊
Thanks for another great video. Curious, what type of vinyl did you use for the tumbler, and did you need to seal it with anything?
I used a permanent adhesive vinyl - Good for windows, glassware, car decals, or stickers. There's a TON of different manufacturers, so check out some options on Amazon or local craft shops for sure.
Wooow! Excellent video, you inspire others( from Mexico thanks)
Thank you so much for watching and for the wonderful comment!
Thank you for this video. I could not find an interesting video for using the machine. Your video came through for me, 'preciate ya!!
Happy this one worked for you! Thanks a ton 😊
Hello , very good work .
Helps a lot , can you take me a doubt ?
Can I stamp the vinyl with a iron with boiler?
loved this informative video and really love your workspace
Excellent job with this video. I really learned a lot. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I did not know about the Brother machine so this was great!
Now I absolutely need one of these machines, you're a good salesman lol 😎💸
You expkaon things so easy for a person to understand, tfs.
In His Grace Lorisa
Great tutorials. Will you do one for the graphic design software?
Your video showed up on my home page. I do paper crafts and I bought the DX125 several years ago. I’ve only used it for a couple of small projects. I’ve always wanted to try vinyl, but never saw anyone explain it the way you do. I have one question, though. Was the vinyl placed on your mat shiny side up or down? Oh, my daughter would love that Skull Bear! ☺️ I hope you see this since it’s been 5 months since it was posted. Thank you!
Excellent and super thorough. Keep it up 👍🏻
Helpful video! Actually like the shirt! Reminds me of the misfits!
Excellent tutorial. I loved the way you took your time to explain everything clearly. Great content.. I'm now a new subscriber and I'm going to purchase a machine. Thank you 😊👍
Thanks for the sub! I can't wait to show a ton of other techniques you can do with this machine 😀
Great video! I have the original Brother SNC. I'm not sure if it will do the half cut for vinyl or not?? I really need to investigate it more. ~Janice
Thanks for watching! I would imagine it would do the half cuts, otherwise it wouldn't really work as a vinyl cutter. It can do so much more too!
Have a great week!
