Thank you. Just what I needed.
I just discovered your youtube channel and live your tutorials! I’ve been doing appliqués the “old fashioned “ way, just purchased a scan n cut. When you showed that I can design it into a raw edge embroidery…..🤯. You aren’t hero!!!!
each time I watch your scan n cut process, I learn something I missed before. I have no idea how I missed what I learned, but I did. Thank you for going over it each time!!
Absolutely love your videos
So very cute
Lovethis process. Thank you.
Adorable. I love it when you bring out the scan n cut. :)
That was great! Thanks for all your help
This was very helpful thanks
Becky, this video is awesome to watch! I love the scan n cut processes and the embroidery! Thank you so much, love to try it!
Thanks for a great tutorial once again Becky.
Hello Becky. So so cute. Thank you for all you do.. love your shop hop show and tells!!!
Excellent instructions! Thank you.
Another great refresher course. Plus our first peek at the new logo on a T-shirt!!!
Soooo flipping cute 🥰
Cute bunny! Great info as always.
He is absolutely adorable!! Great tips Becky!!
Thank you Becky , maybe one day I will be brave to try the scan and cut .
Loved this video. Finally understand why I have the scanning mat. Love my Pathfinder, but wish I had a Luminaire.
New fish design from oml embroidery using clam shells. Lots of appliques
A great project for the Scan N Cut! There’s also a beautiful table runner in the book “Tantalizing Table Toppers” by Judy Gauthier. She has the clamshell template there; it would be so easy to create with the Scan N Cut! 😘
I always learn something new
That is so cute
Becky, this was very helpful. I don't have the Scan N Cut...yet but am hoping to get one soon as I do a lot of appliques but cutting out by hand right now. I have the Babylock Flourish 2 so not all those fancy wireless conveniences but believe I can make this work for me. Thank you for bringing us along - so very helpful!
I really appreciate your videos like this one. They cover a variety of ideas that can be applied to various projects. I always find something I didn’t know or understand.
What a nice comment! Thank you!
I love Awesome cleaner. Have used it for several years. Thanks for yet another way to use it. Now to drag out the SnC and get more use out of it.
LOVE your pony tail! I'm not doing any hand applique either. That rabbit is so cute.
As always, good tutorial.
Glad you liked it!
The rabbit is so much bigger then I thought, it is so cute.
Miss Becky, you give me such hope I can use all these machines I keep buying 😅! I really want to try a project using my embroidery machine, my scan n cut & my sewing machine, but frankly I don’t have the slightest clue where to start to look for a project 😬. I basically want something not too big but big enough that it gives me really good practice 🧐. I don’t have the Cadillac of machines, but I hope the ones I have will allow me to stretch my creative wings & learn more! Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge & experience, it is truly a blessing!
I would recommend starting with a Kimberbell project. They have the very best instructions and are designed so that even a beginner can have success. Their little mug rug collection is the perfect choice! amzn.to/3AJIfOF
😂 Easy for you, but I’m just learning my Scan N Cut and Canvas Workspace. I’m thankful for you, Becky! I’d love to have that Solaris, too, but I may not have enough years (or $$$) left to learn all that. My dear little PE 800 is still chugging along, but certainly limits my projects. Fortunately, I have lots of garment projects too. 💗💗💗 Happy day, happy quilting, happy sewing!
You could easily do this project on your PE800. That's a dynamo little machine! Go, go, go!!
@@PowerToolsWithThread
I drool over larger hoops and projected placement tools. And one on one lessons with you! What a dream that would be! 💗
Wow, so much really useful info in this video. I recently bought the NQ3700D and received the BES Blue Edition software with purchase. I had no idea how powerful this software was until I watched your video. I can't wait to play with applique and my SDX330D Scan n Cut.
YAY!!! You will LOVE this process! Even though you can't scan with the 3700D, in the BES Blue you can still print out your design on some DIME Print & Stick target paper, trim it to fit, and then stick the paper exactly where you want your embroidery machine to stitch the applique. www.shop.dzgns.com/products/print-stick-target-paper?_pos=1&_sid=8fa2183c2&_ss=r?p=S1z1p1FgS
Im a hand sewer, but I sure am tempted to get a embroidery machine
Becky, sometimes I swear you are a mind reader. A friend gave me 6 blocks with the fabric applied with H&B. I was thinking about the best way to applique this and - just like that - your video popped up last night. Perfect time to use my new CutterPillar light box to trace the pieces and Simply Applique software, both for the first time. Can't wait to see how it goes. Thanks for your great instructions.
That is awesome! Have fun!
I love Totally Awesome, I wipe with a fiber cloth, gets all the thread off.
That was a very good tutorial on the BES,Scan and Cut and how they can interact. I have a question after you do the BES and send it to the Luminier instead can I send it to a USB and put in into my Dream Machine 2. Will that work?
Yes! It absolutely will. If you don't have that wireless capability, then the USB transfer is the way to go. Have fun!
Off subject! I love your new logo and your new tshirt design! Are there tshirts in your shop to buy, yet? I love wearing my pink tshirt. It is so soft and comfortable.
Great class Becky. Can you do a class with Luminarie on creating a design to be able to stitch? I don't understand all the steps
That's kind of what I did with the bunny nose - creating a design from nothing. I'm not much of a digitizer, but the Luminaire Design Center worked for me this time. The order of steps are: use a shape to create a canvas to work on, decide what type of stitches you want - either line drawing or fill stitch inside that shape, and then fill the shape with the paint bucket or drawing on the screen. That's about the extent of my skills. lol
@@PowerToolsWithThread thanks that helps me alot
Super Cute bunny. Do use ever use a light box to trace the patterns?
Thank you for your great tutorial. I’m a bit confused…when you put the fabric that has been backed with heat and bond or SF101 on the SNC mat, does the heat and bond or SF101 always go toward the mat? Or was that a special type of mat? Thank you.
I have watched your videos and was excited to download the appliqué program. My fabric does not stick to my mat. I have a regular sticky mat, brand, new and one used. I have fabric down and heat and bond light up covered with paper. The fabric will not stick. Any suggestions?
Scotch tape is your friend!
Can you iron on the applique first and then line up to stitch the tack down and satin stitch? I thought you could so I have already done the ironing but can't figure out how to line it up to the appliqued fabric for stitching.
Also when sending to simply applique do you send all the pieces of design or do you have to separately
That usually depends on the design. I'll group those pieces that will be in the same hooping.
Hi Becky….thanks for these videos on the scan n cut. Do you have a video that shows doing these in layers? Chemo has struck me dumb and I can’t wrap my head around one they are SVG files how you get them into Simply Appliqué , put them together and line them up for sewing? I think I got the cutting part and making them SVG, it’s getting them to Simply Appliqué then to the machine……..thanks
Will the Brother Scan and Cut work with a Babylock Aerial?
Yes! The SNC works independently of all embroidery machines.
Once files are cut, is there any other way to convert to embroidery without having the Brother software?
I always enjoy watching your videos. Do you know if I am able to do all of these functions with a Brother Stellaire and a SNC SDX 225 and Simply Applique, or do I need that Design Transfer app and an SDX 325 you mentioned? Thanks.
It sounds like you have everything you need! The SDX225 and Simply Applique will work along with your current machine.
Hi Becky! I have the Brother Scan n Cut DX225, do I need both the Simply Applique AND the BES4 software?
No, just one or the other.
Hi Becky love you tutorials! Do you use a digitizing program? I have a brother scan n cut and was wondering is it worth buying simply applique compared to others. I get logos from family to embrodiered on their shirts. Do you think just scanning and using canvas and simply enough for this
If you will be using logos to digitize, you might want Embrilliance Stitch Artist. You can import images into that and 'trace' them to create stitches. bit.ly/3qIPMa6
Do all BES 4 and above programs perform the applique functions
Thinking of buying a scan n cut. I don’t currently have any embroidery software, I use Macs, do I need to purchase software to be able to covert pes files to svg cut files for appliqué?
In order to save the SVG files that you can make in Embrilliance, you will need to purchase at least Embrilliance essentials. I have a link below the video that you can get.
Just love watching and learning from you. What is the difference between simply applique and embrillance software?
There are many differences. I wrote a blog post on this topic awhile back. powertoolswiththread.com/2020/07/18/whats-the-difference-between-embrilliance-and-simply-applique/
Can you create the embroidery in the Solaris?
Yes, anything that can be done on the Brother Luminaire, can be done on the Solaris. They are virtually the same machines. You'll use IQ Design vs. the Design Center.
Hi, can u scan this into Embrilliance and use that software?
Becky, what is the name of the iron you are using for the steaming process? Also, what was the top of the line Brother machine before the Luminaire? Thanks
My iron is the Sapporo Gravity Fed ironing system. I've had this iron for 6-7 years now and it never spits on my fabric because there is a condenser that turns the water to steam before it gets to the iron. Pro garment sewers use this iron. It's in my Amazon store. As to the top of the line before the Luminaire (XP2), next to it today in the lineup is the combo Stellaire (XJ1), but before that was the Dream Machine 2. amazon.com/shop/powertoolswiththread
Becky, when I bring up Canvas Workspace I do not get a "My Projects" box. What am I doing wrong?
I figured it out…..online canvas workspace😳
@@fayeholland7291 Live and learn! :)
My husband is crazy about the quilt behind you! He wants it! Do you have the pattern for it? Love your You Tubes!
That is Lori Holt's Chicken Salad! I loved making that quilt. The pattern is free on Riley Blake's website. I have an entire playlist for making this quilt.

@@PowerToolsWithThread Thank you Becky for all the information. It is so beautiful!
I was concerned when you said you can't download from Canvas to a Mac without parallels. I have just tried it and it works perfectly straight to my Mac. I can then use Embrilliance to edit or create an FCM cut file or an appliqué file.
Yes, you can download the .fcm file to a Mac - meaning, the download function itself will work. However, Embrilliance doesn't allow the import of .fcm files that I have seen. If it does, please let me know! The box packaging for both BES4 & Simply Applique say they need to run on a Windows OS.
@@PowerToolsWithThread I have Embrilliance Stitch Artist and I can do all this on my Mac. For Stitch Artist Level 2 This level allows you to import .SVG vector art and some cutting file formats (.FCM and .studio) for use as objects. ( copied from the Embriliance page)
In Stitch Artist Level 3 there is even more functionality.
I have just tried it and can create an FCM cutting file from an embroidery design. I use a Mac, Embriliance Stitch Artist and a ScanNCut SDX1200
@@charlotteogrady6891 WOW! That's awesome and I truly appreciate you letting me know. I only have SA1 and have tried to import/drag-drop fcm files into it and it wouldn't let me. I searched for .fcm in the Help and there was no mention of it. Sometimes you just have to give something a try to see that it does, in fact work. Thanks so much for sharing! I love learning from our community. 🙂
When you traced on the heat and bone, did you do a mirror image
No ma'am. I just traced it as is.
You only need to mirror the image when you are planning to place the fabric side down. Because heat n bond is a stable substrate you can place heat n bond side down. Remove the paper before you cut on you SNC.
I picked this up on quilt in a day for a killer deal! Did you decide not to come SC way?
Yeah, we skipped SC because Lisa came here instead. She had a voucher she needed to use. So we headed from St. Augustine to Birmingham at the last minute. Sorry to have missed you!
@@PowerToolsWithThread BUMMER!!!!! Lol. One day!
I watch a lot of your videos and get on live views when I can. I wanted to watch this one: Tutorial-Use Scan N Cut and your embroidery machine. I could not get sound on it. I checked my computer and the mute button on youtube, but nothing. I brought up another video and all was fine. Was just wondering if it is something in the settings for this video. If so, I wanted you to be alert to it. Keep the great videos coming. I don't know how you do it all.
And now it's working fine.
Can the Meridian communicate with the scan and cut?
Unfortunately no. Only Brother machines can communicate with the SNC. You can however, use a USB to transfer designs.
Well I have a brother 1700E. Wireless. Would this one?
Also I want to be sure you get a payment if I purchase one. Is the link here the most current recommendation and store you want us to shop at?
@@lauras908 Nope. lol. The embroidery machine has to have something called My Connection. Right now that's only the Luminaire and Stellaire. I have the NQ3700D and it's doesn't have it. From Brother "The My Connection feature allows you to wirelessly connect the ScanNCut DX (SDX325 or SDX330D) with the Brother Luminaire or Stellaire embroidery machines. Allows for wireless transfer of a ScanNCut DX design (FCM) to the My Design Center, where it can be turned it into an embroidery design."
Thank you
Another great video. The yellow fabric is hard to see on the video. I know it’s there.
Agreed. When I did the next cut for the bee wings, I use the wrench to change the setting to a dark background and then I could see it better. I should have done that for this one. Live and learn! :)
@@PowerToolsWithThread you’re still awesome in my book!
The FCM file is not proprietary to Microsoft. It is proprietary to ScanNCut. I use Mac for all my SNC/Canvas work. I use PC for all my Simply Applique/BES/PED11, Bernina, and Floriani software.
From my research, that .fcm file type was created by a Microsoft developer for the video game Minecraft. It's a placement file extension that allows a gamer to leave the game at one point, and then return the next day in the same room location they were in when they left so they don't have to begin all over again. I believe, and I could be incorrect, that Brother partnered with MS for the use of the file as an applique placement file in its Pacesetter software for cut files created by the SNC. Yes, you can certainly use a Mac with the SNC and Canvas. But if you want to use the fcm file to create applique as I was doing in this video, you'll need a PC just like you're doing. I appreciate the clarification as I misspoke.
@@PowerToolsWithThread Interesting. As a Brother Dealer, never heard that explanation. Very well could be. Not trying to be a smarty pants, just don't want Mac users to turn away from purchasing the SNC in fear of not being able to use Canvas. I also use Embrilliance on my Mac to create FCM files and create Applique from the FCM files. So much technology and so little time. I do enjoy watching you create!
I think my phone is messed up. I cant hear anything.
Wow… this isn’t for beginners 😅
WHICH EMBROIDERY IN-THE-HOOP. PROJECTS DOES FAT QUARTER SHOP CARRY?
KIMBERBELL, DBJJ, ETC.?
I think they only have Kimberbell physical products. DBJJ is an online only purchase from the DBJJ site.
