I wish I knew then what I know now! This machine is SO MUCH easier to use when you know what to do. Are you feeling more confident about using your machine now? Or perhaps this helped you decide if you should buy one or not? Let me know your thoughts xo 💗💗
I just ordered mine today. I am glad I found your channel. I wish I would have seen it sooner. I ordered a more expensive machine and I really didn’t need to it seems.
Another tip you might like to try that works really, really well: I tape off the outside perimeter of my ScanNCut mat with painter tape. Spray the grid part of the mat with Odif 505 temporary fabric adhesive. Once it's dry, it's good to go for many, many cuts without needing to spray each time. Works like a charm!
Thanks for the Tip. I think I'll just stick with my Aleene's. It doesn't leave any residue, there's no maintenance, and when I need to cut I can pop on the paper and just cut without hassle. I'm so lazy with things like that so this hack suits me so well. Spray n Go! Haha However, I certainly appreciate you taking the time to comment to let me know what you've found. Sharing is caring. Happy Cutting ❤️😁
Please please please keep the Scan n Cut tutorials coming!! I just bought one and am binge watching TH-cam for knowledge....this was an excellent tutorial!! Thank You!
The tip about the “smoothing” button/icon on the machine just blew me away. I was not a fan of the way the machine made sharp turns and cuts that I would have to fussy cut to make smooth. I must have skipped that in the instruction manual. Your tip was a total game changer and I am back in love with my scan and cut. Oh! And not to mention the fact that I won’t have to buy more mats! Thank you sooooo much!!
THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL! I've had the scan n cut for a few years and wondered if I wasted money. Your directions are so clear and concise. I would love a scan n cut series.
I have a Scan N Cut AND a Maker 3. I think I steer towards the Maker because I've cut my crafting teeth on Cricuts...since their very first one. I got the Scan N Cut several years ago and just don't feel comfortable with it yet. I'm SOOOO ridiculously happy that I stumbled upon your channel. No question about me subscribing! :)
thank you so mutch. just bought a verry expensive extra large mat. they dont.have my old ones annymore. NEVER again! what a great solution. no eileens here, but trying a comparable european product
Aside from your crafting, your video editing is hilarious ! Your tutorial was fantastic. I have a SNC and have had a lot of trouble with my mats; I also forget to use the smooth function. I can’t wait to try again tomorrow !
I hope you had a much easier time with your machine. I'm so glad you appreciate the humor in my videos. I try to keep things light, fun, informative and creative. I'm trying to make you keep coming back for more! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
I wish I had come across this video 20 minutes ago. I just ordered a new mat, I should have ordered the glue instead. didn't know anything about the black and white vs colored cut option or the smooth cut option. I guess I will be playing tomorrow. I will be watching more of your videos, they are great.
I have tried some crazy things to keep my paper on the mat! Once I used foam tape, it worked but wouldn’t recommend it. I’m going to try your way now. Thank you!
OMG I was literally about to pack an return my scan and cut until this video. I am a Cricut user, and thought this scan n cut was way too complicated. Thank you SO MUCH!
Have the older scan n cut...tips and tricks you gave were great. I just don't have some of the same functions. Tomorrow I'm going for a whole sheet of cut outs using your tips. Will let you know.
This is crazy, just 10 minutes ago I ordered this EXACT machine (even same lime color) on QVC! They had it on Black Friday sale. Then I started looking through my subscriber videos and I saw this one. When you showed your machine I recognized it as the I got. That is insane.🤪 But this video was so clear and easy to follow, I now can’t wait till next week to get my scanNcut! You just made my evening!😉😊
Oh wow! That certainly is good timing in my part isn't it? 🤣🤣 You're going to love your machine. Just be patient and remember he's your 'finicky' baby brother. Be patient with him and when he grows up he will always be there for you! 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Hi! Thanks so much. I feel like I made a mistake buying the brother scan n cut because the mats are so expensive and frankly not fit for purpose. I did the wipes carefully etc and lucky if I get two-three projects before it doesn’t stick. If I can find a similar product here I shall try it!! I have about 4 mats that have lost their stick, so I will experiment!!
I was going to spray stickies on the mat. So much more sensible to spray the image. Thanks! I am new to this and I am so jazzed with the scanncut. Thanks again for your knowledge.
I have been asking myself why the sticky spray wouldn’t work as a fix. Now I know it will. Thank you so much. I just picked up the SDX125 about two months ago and after about 20 cuts my mat wasn’t sticky anymore. I tried cleaning it as vids had said to no avail. Game changer!! Ty 😋
So very happy I found you. I downloaded the SNC Workspace, followed along and I do not have the "save as "SVG" " option (save as, yes....SVG, No). I'm getting desperate for some help with this machine, have watched every YT video you can imagine... do you offer more YT tutorials? Your instruction methods are so delightful. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your tutorial. I have a scan n cut SDX 1000 and have never really known how to use it properly. Cutting out images has never worked well for me. Now l will give it a try as l was not using it at all. Thank you again.🤗
Thank you for your informative videos I am very new to this, and after just watching one of you tutorials I feel that much more comfortable, using my machine.
Thank you for the tutorial. I didn’t know what the smooth button was. I will use it next time. The test button is just in case you want to make sure the auto blade is going to cut thru your paper that you currently have on your mat. You select test, chose the location you want to test cut. If it cuts good you just continue on your way. Great tip on the mat. My mat went from super over sticky to barely sticky. It was the standard stick mat.
I have a discontinued scan n cut. I was rethinking getting a new one maybe getting a cricut instead. After watching your video re getting images from the internet, that's what I want to do. Make my own images. So I'm going to try with my dinosaur and see if I can make it work.
I've said it before about your other hacks and it applies again here ......GENIUS! I actually stopped using my Scan N Cut because I got fed up with cleaning the mats off and reapplying sticky, then finding it was worse than just leaving it alone and using masking or washi tape to stick my images to the mat. This is a game changer. I only have Pixie Spray here, but I just tried it and it worked a treat without leaving any residue. My old mat has one advantage though - I used Eucalyptus Oil on it about a year ago and removed all of the sticky off it, so now mine is just a plain (printed) plastic sheet, so it doesn't collect so many of the artifacts from previous cuts as a sticky one does. (I hope all that made sense.) Anyone who is adventurous enough to try this themselves, just a wee warning - don't go outside of the cutting part of the mat, it is possible the Eucalyptus Oil might smudge or remove some of the black printing. It did on the first old mat I tried it on, but didn't on the new one I later bought....go figure eh? I love your vids, I always learn something new, or get inspired. You're a great teacher. 💕
It is a game changer isn't it?! 😎 I'm sorry, but all those people that say to re-stick it with this, that, or the other don't think about us stampers that just finished coloring an image only to find our mat isn't sticky and need to cut it out NOW! Not in 3 or 4 hours after I've cleaned my mat and tried to re-stick it, then let it dry. . What a total P.I.T.A!! (Pain in the ---) 🤣🤣🤣 So glad it helped you Annie 😁💗
Thank You. I plan to do a more involved Scan & Cut 101 class. If that interests you follow me on Social Media (Facebook or Instagram) to stay up to date. You can even subscribe to my newsletter on my website www.myinkiefingers.com You choice 😉😊💗
Thank you for doing this video! After watching this I was able to do my first scan n' cut on my new machine on the first try! I appreciate you taking the time to share what you learned!
Does anyone cut fabric primarily and scan in printed material such as juvenile designs, then cut out the design of choice and applique that to whatever project? Again, am so happy to have found you. BTW, I contacted AllBrands and ordered the material blade kit and an additional mat. My first "cut out project" made me super happy. Just sharing.
I have a cricut machine not what you have but the mat on mine also lost its stickiness, I finally bought another mat, wish I had seen this tip for the spray tacking before but its good to know for future.
Lol "Is just an ORNAMENT" 🤣🤣🤣 I suppose he really fits in around this time of year being that it's Christmas. Put on some Christmas music, dust him off, and sing to the praises of some new tips! 🤣🤣🤣 Have fun Helen 😁❤️
I always say "You do You". I don't judge, you do what works best for you Vivian. It's your stamps and your machine. As long as you're happy that's all that matters 😁❤️
Thanks for the Tacky Spray trick. I'll have to give it a try. I have an older SNC and it doesn't have some of the options you have, but would certainly be interested in additional tutorials. Thank you!
love this tutorial, I have had my machine quite a while, ruined my mat by paper sticking to it. I don't quite remember what it was, it has been so long. but your video gives me confidence to pull the machine out again. Thank you
Oh please do pull it out! Dust it off and use my light spray trick and you will be so happy! Not to mention the money you're going to save on dies! I have many other videos coming for the SnC so be sure to watch for them 😊💗
Hi Dawn, I wash my mats all the time & you can gently soak & scrub-brush off any paper residue. I usually restick them with the blue zig glue (wide tip) watered down, so it's ok to do that on a wet mat, avoiding borders. Let dry 36 hrs or use blow dryer. If they are too sticky, blot with a t-shirt & remember to dilute more next time. However, I LOVE Cindy's spray tacky glue idea! Must shop for it ASAP! Your mat isn't ruined ;)
I just got my scan and cut two days ago and was a bit intimidated by it. Your video was so helpful! I'm looking forward to using it now and will be excited to learn more from your videos to come! Thank you!
My scan 'n cut is Way older than yours. I've never changed it to color before. It'll have to try that. I do get frustrated because it doesn't scan everything. These are great tips. I don't know if my machine has that smooth option, but I'll look for it. Thanks!
Awww thanks Miss Judy!! Funny story; Yesterday Todd came in with the mail and said "You have something from a French person" 🤣🤣🤣 Yours was the FIRST Birthday card I got in the mail this year. Totally unexpected but so very kind of you. Thank you xoxo 💗💗 (I'll show it off in the Live Stream next Thursday 😊😉)
Not at all. I've been using it A LOT! *Pinkie Swear* Just spray lightly. One quick mist. You will be fine. Then you can also use it for other stuff like I do in my videos (i.e.. gluing small tedious things lol) 😁🤣💗
Nope. Never, I'm still doing this, with the same blade I used in that video as a matter of fact. And I use my machine A LOT. I've used this method in many many videos since 😉
Any re - positionable spray will work, I used them a lot with my other cutting machines. The snag here is that the sprays are pricey, if you are looking at branded ones, certainly. However, dilute Tack it Over and Over in a spray bottle also works:)
I don't think it really gets much cheaper than under $10 for this huge can without the hassle of mixing yet another thing! lol 😁😉💗 (If one can afford the machine they can afford 10 bucks 🤣🤣🤣)
@@_MyInkieFingers Ah, but I don't live in the USA, I am in Spain - and aside from the fact it would be dearer here, it isn't sold on Amazon (Spain) and probably won't be as things are more likely to be classed as prohibited (aerosols) in the EU. No local craft shops either!
I have Krylon Temporary adhesive spray. I've never used it on my Scan 'N Cut mat as I haven't used it enough to lose what stick is on it. When it does lose the sticky is that not a good one to use? Does it leave a residue unlike the AileensTacky spray? I really like the clarity you offer in your videos, as well as the humour. Thanks.
Thank you for the SnC tips as well! I have the DX125 & really like my machine but know it has so much more potential than what I know what to do with it. At times, I can barely cut my stamped images because I seem to be doing something wrong. I’m gonna keep this video on hand to simply what I maybe doing wrong. There are so many you tube videos & they can be confusing & are not exactly what you maybe looking for. Thanks so much!!
I completely agree with you on the amount of confusing videos! I was in the very same boat. I plan on making more clear and to the point videos in the future so stay tuned. 😉😁❤️
This is the machine I just ordered. I only wanted it for cutting stamped images. Makes me nervous that you have had problems cutting the stamped image. It is a big investment.
@@brendakearns1402 Honey I think everyone has experienced confusion and frustration at some point with this machine. It can be very intimidating and hard to understand all the features and buttons. BUT! You have my video to help keep it simple for you. And when your mat stops sticking (which will be not very long after you get it) you will have a quick fix. Hang in there sister, you'll be ok 💗😉💗
@@_MyInkieFingers I totally agree. It definitely has a learning curve. I also have a Cricut Maker (doesn’t scan & cut out things) but I have only used it once. I don’t pay to use the Canvas Workspace because I don’t use it enough to justify the $10 a month.
One would think they would make better mats as it's one of only a few consumable products they have to go with the machine. This would make us buy them more often. But as they are poor quality they are losing a lot of revenue. If only women ruled the world! 🤣🤣
@@_MyInkieFingers I just cleaned them all with dish detergent & like the idea of spraying paper individually - does it gunk up the cutter? I've gotten better about cleaning that too tho ... Yes, very different designs on MANY things if women had their say!!
I have had ZERO issues with 'gunk' 😉💗 (Use a light hand when you spray - a fine quick mist. And you do not have to have 100% coverage. Just the areas where the images are)
All DX machines can only feed their mats in one direction. The edge with the arrow is the feed edge. The cutout triangular shape is for hanging the mat. Usually how it is marketed in stores. Test cut simply makes a small cut in a portion of the material that you select on the screen. There are different basic shapes to choose from. It lets you know if your settings will successfully cut the material you've loaded before committing time & possibly wasted effort if the settings aren't good enough. The plastic stylus they include isn't really necessary. You can use your finger or finger nail to control the menu options. You can even press and swipe up or down to scroll the screen's options but only if there is a series of menu arrows presented on the screen. Be careful not to roll your mat too much because once you get a crease in it good luck flattening it back out.
I hope you have more SNC tutorials. I’ve learnt more from you in 10 minutes that I did some of the others that lasted an hour or more. Thank you so much.
O girl you save my life and my pocket book, this is sooooo easy and I love the tip on the jewel picker too. I just misplaced my pointer that came with the San N Cut. Yea These mats get so expensive cause they don't last and I had to keep buying one too often. I like this option for reusing these mats. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for this tutorial. Could you please advise what the tool is called that you are using to get the die cut off the mat. So excited to get into cutting and doing sentiments and die cuts after 3 years of giving up
Just got my scan and cut, thanks for the great tips. Having issues with it not recognizing the pattern.... it scans but won't cut. Frustrating at times. Would love to see more video tips so I can enjoy it more.
@@_MyInkieFingers Thank you, it does scan and cut.. maybe my problem is sizing and that's why it is not recognizing the pattern when it goes to cut. Scans no problem but after i adjust the size is when it gets frustrating. Will plug away and hopefully will be more successful. :)
Hi there, just found your u-tube video about finally sticking to the brothers scan&cut, AMEN it worked. SO, I have a question, Do u have a good way to get that blade sharp. I need to cut my items 2x it will not go through the 1st time making me nuts!!!
Sorry a dull blade is a dull blade. I buy these knock offs and they work great! geni.us/nZdB Be sure to install them correctly and ignore the comments of the people who say they don't work. I have an SDX85 and they're perfect! 😉😊
I’ve never seen anyone explain ‘ignore object size’ (or smoothing) which would have solved all my frustrations. Also can I vent that the control screen does not rotate, so you either stand beside the machine and lean over awkwardly or you stand in front at least a foot away for mat clearance 🙁. Brother knows to put the control screen on the side of photocopiers, same need here. Thank you for saving me from wasting $250!
Haha! I had to read that second line twice but then it clicked! And YES!! What a dream it would be if it rotated!! I'm always doing the bird dance trying to find the angle that has no glare so I can actually see what I'm doing! Too funny 🤣🤣🤣
Ty. I just bought the same machine. Does it always leave a white border around the pics? I haven’t used it yet. I broke knee cap and can't get to it. I watching how to video's to learn. Than you
OH YAY!! Happy Day! IMPORANT TIP: DO NOT put regular cardstock on a brand new mat. You will be scraping it off. Pinkie Swear. Place a nice clean pillow case on top of the mat to remove some of the sticky. Trust me. These mats are TOO STICKY out of the box, and then within a very very short amount of time are NOT sticky at all. It's a nightmare. Have your Aleene's spray handy and all your issues will be solved. xo 💗
Thank you. It is out of the box, it has been calibrated and cut my first stamp image… so far a success! I have thought of getting a scan and cut for many years but heard so many negative reviews on them. Hoped the technology had caught up and since I’m doing more cards than anything else I decided to get one. Great Black Friday buy. Though I own very few Stampin Up products (not so much my style) I really enjoy your videos. You are very real and fun to watch. I am happy to see you branching out into other products. I am Canadian but live in Lynden WA. Keep up the great work and happy concocting! G
I'll have to try the spray. I have an older machine and it doesn't like small pieces of paper to cut images. As it's cutting, the paper will come lose and ruin the image. Thanks for the tips!
That exactly what mine was doing not long after I got it. I was NOT impressed. The mats are so poorly made for such an expensive machine. I had to come up with something because buying more mats was just not an option at the price they are. And the business of resticking it over and over and over was so time consuming. I'm way too lazy to do restick my mat! No thanks! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Hey GURL..Coco Here, Dang I love your videos!!! I can See how much time and effort you put into them!! I love the humor and all the details,, I've only watched you live segments.. or a live recorded..haha... I LOVE MY SnC..She's a beast of a workhorse, and I hope to someday be as good as you are with your videos...side Note I hope all is well, maybe with a little more freedom from your stampin up, Dont know if I missed anything..But I wish you well.. keep on BEING you.. you are KILLING it..
I bought a scanncut last April but have been having some problems learning how to use it completely because I haven't had a cricut or silhouette at all to let me have any familiarity to the functions. This video is the first that I've watched to actually help me! 😂 Thank you so much. I hope you continue showing the functions of different options on the scanncut in the future! 💜
I have an older silhoutte machine. Would this work also for cutting out stamped images? I always was so upset about the sticky mats and my paper not sticking. Thanks for the tip.
Very good to know. The mat situation is the one thing that keeps me from using my machine. It doesnt stay sticky long. I spend way too much time dealing with that than with cutting. And they are NOT in expensive. One question however, should we be concerned with the residue stick on the mat when it contacts the rollers inside the machine? Anyone have any issues with this? Thanks again
I have had no issues with residue. The mat is still smooth and not tacky when the image is removed. Be sure not to overspray. Just a fine quick mist is plenty. I'm confident that you will be impressed. 😊❤️
I am trying to buy a cutter for my elementary school teachers so they can use it for classroom or bulletin boards. Do you think the scan and cut would be good for teachers? I am worried about the learning curve?
I finally bought the Eleen spray adhesive. I does not come out in a fine mist but bursts out in blotches. I read reviews about they changed the nozzle. So was wondering if you know if yours or mine is the "new"nozzle. Have you tried 3m?
It truly is amazing how many confusing videos there are out there. I think they are confusing because the person doing the tutorial pushes the wrong button several times, then stumbles upon the right one, then regresses because they forgot a step they should have done. It is extremely frustrating. Now, I have never filmed a tutorial so maybe it is easy to make those kind of mistakes, but isn’t that what editing is for? Thanks for a straight forward easy to follow tutorial.
@@kiminalaska9363 Amen sister! It goes to show how powerful editing is doesn't it? Then people wonder why it takes me up to 8+ hrs to edit, upload, write a description, create links, write a blot post... Yadda yadda. It's a lot of work for those of us invested in delivering content our viewers will enjoy and leave them wanting to come back for more. I'm so thankful you can appreciate the video (even though I had an audio issue and hated the quality) it means a lot to me ❤️😁❤️
I don’t own a scan and cut but I find it to complicated, it would be nice to use one instead of having so many stamps and dies, it would take less space. Thank you for sharing.
I'm confident that if you follow my tips and be patient just a little longer it will pay off in the end Ana. I know how frustrating the machine can be, but once you get it going the results are so satisfying 😁❤️
Does this work for delicate papers like chiyogami or printer paper? The instructions for the machine say to buy the low-tack mat for these papers but when the adhesive stops sticking on the low tack mat, I’m curious to know if your solution would work for these papers as well or if you recommend something else. Thanks for the great videos, always super helpful!
I'm not sure about copy paper as I've never had the need to cut it. If you try be sure to use a very light spray. Then wave it a bit to dry before placing on the mat 😊💗
It especially useful when u have mtiple images. It also saves me hundreds and hundreds on buying dies. But yes, for one inage a die would certainly be quicker. It's all about what you find value in and what makes YOU happy. That's all that matters 😉❤️
Not at all. It's MUCH better. It's ultra white and never cracks when folded. The heavier one is 120lb. It's so strong and sturdy. It truly makes my cards feel more professional at a fraction of the price. I'm obsessed with it. I did a comparison here: th-cam.com/video/Ia_zT0adoi0/w-d-xo.html
thank you for sharing....i just think your videos are cute and funny. and interesting. I have a cricut, so i am going to try it on my mat. Hopefully, it will work for me. I just like your sense of humor....so cool!!!
Laughter is good for the soul! With what our world has become, we just need to escape (in our minds - as none of us can afford a ride in a rocket ship) and create our own place to exist. You can pop into my world any ole' time you wish 😁💗
A chuckle for all: machine is 2 yrs old... just out of it's box 4 dys ago! I created my design in Wilcom Hatch, exported cutting as "SVG", brought it into the SNC 85S; can't fighre how to move the ungrouped objects individually to get them onto the right piece of material... any help will be so very greatly appreciated. Thank you again for a wonderful tutorial. BTW: I checked out the Make The Cut software, can't find where to purchase it though I see a price of $79???
I just plot with Silhouette machines, but the not sticky mats are the same there. First it was so strong that I needed to fuss it with a towel, otherwise it would rip the paper when I try to pick it up and then some uses later its not sticky enough. On things like your example I use washitape to stick it to the mat. When its a little more complicated and could slip around while cutting I use a newer mat. I should try your trick, thanks for sharing
My mat was the same. So dang sticky I had to scrape cardstock off of it! Enjoy the spray hack. I just did entire sheets of cardstock yesterday full of stamped images and it worked wonderfully 😊💗
I don't own one of these machines. I'm still indecisive about buying one, as I don't know if I'd have the patience to operate it. Lol 😄 But thank you for the tutorial. 😊 I'll definitely be referring to it if I ever buy this contraption.
It took me 2 years before I decided to take the plunge. It sat in my Amazon Wishlist for ages!! It wasn't until the price drop that I said "Ok, I'm doing it" It's gone down even more now! But to each their own right 😁😉💗💗
@@_MyInkieFingers Yay! Maybe this will be my year! Let’s just say I’ve had it for a couple years and have just been intimidated by the darn thing. OK-COLOR ME SUBSCRIBED.
That test thing, is so you can do a test cut before you cut your project so you can change your blade pressure n other settings and don't have to worry about cutting into the mat. :)
I wish I knew then what I know now! This machine is SO MUCH easier to use when you know what to do. Are you feeling more confident about using your machine now? Or perhaps this helped you decide if you should buy one or not? Let me know your thoughts xo 💗💗
Just about to watch and there’s a huge sale on the brother scan and cut sooo really leaning on buying one. Let’s see what I learn 😚❤️🙌🏼
@@created2bless322 be sure to price check the link below with Brother. Amazon has free shipping and free returns (Prime) which may save you $. 😊🥰❤️
@@_MyInkieFingers I have prime too so it’s all good!
I just ordered mine today. I am glad I found your channel. I wish I would have seen it sooner. I ordered a more expensive machine and I really didn’t need to it seems.
Perhaps you can check into a return then save on the one you want. May I ask if you purchased from Amazon? They have hassle free "free" returns 😉💗
Another tip you might like to try that works really, really well:
I tape off the outside perimeter of my ScanNCut mat with painter tape. Spray the grid part of the mat with Odif 505 temporary fabric adhesive. Once it's dry, it's good to go for many, many cuts without needing to spray each time. Works like a charm!
Thanks for the Tip. I think I'll just stick with my Aleene's. It doesn't leave any residue, there's no maintenance, and when I need to cut I can pop on the paper and just cut without hassle. I'm so lazy with things like that so this hack suits me so well. Spray n Go! Haha However, I certainly appreciate you taking the time to comment to let me know what you've found. Sharing is caring. Happy Cutting ❤️😁

Ah rats!! Well, at least you know what to do when it loses it's stickiness. Having a backup isn't a bad thing as I fins these mats crack over time. 😉🌷

OMG I was literally about to pack an return my scan and cut until this video. I am a Cricut user, and thought this scan n cut was way too complicated. Thank you SO MUCH!
You're very welcome! Watch for more videos in the new year too 😉❤️
Have the older scan n cut...tips and tricks you gave were great. I just don't have some of the same functions. Tomorrow I'm going for a whole sheet of cut outs using your tips. Will let you know.
Whoo Hoo!! An entire sheet!! You go girl 💗😁💗
@@_MyInkieFingers haven't done it yet...but I'm going for it
Thanks for the great tutorial. I am contemplating on purchasing a brother cut and scan. I have always owned cricuts but now thinking this is amazing
This is crazy, just 10 minutes ago I ordered this EXACT machine (even same lime color) on QVC! They had it on Black Friday sale. Then I started looking through my subscriber videos and I saw this one. When you showed your machine I recognized it as the I got. That is insane.🤪 But this video was so clear and easy to follow, I now can’t wait till next week to get my scanNcut! You just made my evening!😉😊
Oh wow! That certainly is good timing in my part isn't it? 🤣🤣 You're going to love your machine. Just be patient and remember he's your 'finicky' baby brother. Be patient with him and when he grows up he will always be there for you! 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Hi! Thanks so much. I feel like I made a mistake buying the brother scan n cut because the mats are so expensive and frankly not fit for purpose. I did the wipes carefully etc and lucky if I get two-three projects before it doesn’t stick. If I can find a similar product here I shall try it!! I have about 4 mats that have lost their stick, so I will experiment!!
I was going to spray stickies on the mat. So much more sensible to spray the image. Thanks! I am new to this and I am so jazzed with the scanncut. Thanks again for your knowledge.
I have been asking myself why the sticky spray wouldn’t work as a fix. Now I know it will. Thank you so much. I just picked up the SDX125 about two months ago and after about 20 cuts my mat wasn’t sticky anymore. I tried cleaning it as vids had said to no avail. Game changer!! Ty 😋
I'm happy that you saw this video. Now you can cut to your hearts content! 🤣🤣😁💗
So very happy I found you. I downloaded the SNC Workspace, followed along and I do not have the "save as "SVG" " option (save as, yes....SVG, No). I'm getting desperate for some help with this machine, have watched every YT video you can imagine... do you offer more YT tutorials? Your instruction methods are so delightful. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Thank you so much.
Such a wonderful, helpful video. I stopped buying dies, and I needed to learn all this!
Me too. They are the most expensive part of a set.
Thank you for sharing your tutorial. I have a scan n cut SDX 1000 and have never really known how to use it properly. Cutting out images has never worked well for me. Now l will give it a try as l was not using it at all. Thank you again.🤗
I hope it helped Joanne xo 💗😊
Thank you for your informative videos I am very new to this, and after just watching one of you tutorials I feel that much more comfortable, using my machine.
Thanks for this info. I am debating about which Scan n cut to purchase.
Glad it was helpful Marilyn 😁💗
Thanks for the video I’ve been debating if I want to get a die cut machine or a scan n cut so this was very helpful
Thank you for the tutorial. I didn’t know what the smooth button was. I will use it next time. The test button is just in case you want to make sure the auto blade is going to cut thru your paper that you currently have on your mat. You select test, chose the location you want to test cut. If it cuts good you just continue on your way. Great tip on the mat. My mat went from super over sticky to barely sticky. It was the standard stick mat.
Thanks for the info on the "Test" I've had quite a few people let me know what it was. You're all so smart! Enjoy the spray trick 😉💗
I have a discontinued scan n cut. I was rethinking getting a new one maybe getting a cricut instead. After watching your video re getting images from the internet, that's what I want to do. Make my own images. So I'm going to try with my dinosaur and see if I can make it work.
Glad it was helpful! 😉
Thank you for this video. I bought a Scan n Cut a couple of years ago but have barely used it. Now you’ve inspired me to have another go!
You go girl! Think of all the money you will save on dies 👍💗😁
I've said it before about your other hacks and it applies again here ......GENIUS! I actually stopped using my Scan N Cut because I got fed up with cleaning the mats off and reapplying sticky, then finding it was worse than just leaving it alone and using masking or washi tape to stick my images to the mat. This is a game changer. I only have Pixie Spray here, but I just tried it and it worked a treat without leaving any residue. My old mat has one advantage though - I used Eucalyptus Oil on it about a year ago and removed all of the sticky off it, so now mine is just a plain (printed) plastic sheet, so it doesn't collect so many of the artifacts from previous cuts as a sticky one does. (I hope all that made sense.) Anyone who is adventurous enough to try this themselves, just a wee warning - don't go outside of the cutting part of the mat, it is possible the Eucalyptus Oil might smudge or remove some of the black printing. It did on the first old mat I tried it on, but didn't on the new one I later bought....go figure eh? I love your vids, I always learn something new, or get inspired. You're a great teacher. 💕
It is a game changer isn't it?! 😎 I'm sorry, but all those people that say to re-stick it with this, that, or the other don't think about us stampers that just finished coloring an image only to find our mat isn't sticky and need to cut it out NOW! Not in 3 or 4 hours after I've cleaned my mat and tried to re-stick it, then let it dry. . What a total P.I.T.A!! (Pain in the ---) 🤣🤣🤣 So glad it helped you Annie 😁💗
Thanks so much. I never knew how to find the change from black and white to color recognition. Plus the spray kept my images in place on the mat.
You're welcome
Very good demonstration and explanation of the operation of the machine, one of the best that I have seen!
Thank You. I plan to do a more involved Scan & Cut 101 class. If that interests you follow me on Social Media (Facebook or Instagram) to stay up to date. You can even subscribe to my newsletter on my website www.myinkiefingers.com You choice 😉😊💗
Loved this tutorial. Does this work when cutting fabric
Thank you for doing this video! After watching this I was able to do my first scan n' cut on my new machine on the first try! I appreciate you taking the time to share what you learned!
Oh yay! That makes me so happy. I'm so glad you found my video. I'll be making more of these so stay tuned 😉❤️😁
Does anyone cut fabric primarily and scan in printed material such as juvenile designs, then cut out the design of choice and applique that to whatever project? Again, am so happy to have found you. BTW, I contacted AllBrands and ordered the material blade kit and an additional mat. My first "cut out project" made me super happy. Just sharing.
Great idea. I was just trying to find mats for my cm350. I think I’ll give your idea a try. Much cheaper. Thanks my inkie friend.
This was extremely helpful as I just started using one. I didn't know about the smooth line. Thank you so much.
Perfect! I'm so glad it was helpful for you 😁❤️😊
I have a cricut machine not what you have but the mat on mine also lost its stickiness, I finally bought another mat, wish I had seen this tip for the spray tacking before but its good to know for future.
Well now you have a backup! For those larger projects you can now be prepping a mat while one is in the machine cutting. Win Win 😉😁💗
Wow. My Scan and Cut is just an ornament as I have so much difficulty getting my card to stick... I can’t wait to try your technique 🤓
Lol "Is just an ORNAMENT" 🤣🤣🤣 I suppose he really fits in around this time of year being that it's Christmas. Put on some Christmas music, dust him off, and sing to the praises of some new tips! 🤣🤣🤣 Have fun Helen 😁❤️
I’m going to stick with my big shot. You ladies have a lot of patience!
I always say "You do You". I don't judge, you do what works best for you Vivian. It's your stamps and your machine. As long as you're happy that's all that matters 😁❤️
I have used a repositionable spray on my cricuit mat. Works great.
Thanks for the Tacky Spray trick. I'll have to give it a try. I have an older SNC and it doesn't have some of the options you have, but would certainly be interested in additional tutorials. Thank you!
I have so many tricks up my sleeve! You just wait n' see 🤣🤣😁💗😎
love this tutorial, I have had my machine quite a while, ruined my mat by paper sticking to it. I don't quite remember what it was, it has been so long. but your video gives me confidence to pull the machine out again. Thank you
Oh please do pull it out! Dust it off and use my light spray trick and you will be so happy! Not to mention the money you're going to save on dies! I have many other videos coming for the SnC so be sure to watch for them 😊💗
Hi Dawn, I wash my mats all the time & you can gently soak & scrub-brush off any paper residue. I usually restick them with the blue zig glue (wide tip) watered down, so it's ok to do that on a wet mat, avoiding borders. Let dry 36 hrs or use blow dryer. If they are too sticky, blot with a t-shirt & remember to dilute more next time. However, I LOVE Cindy's spray tacky glue idea! Must shop for it ASAP! Your mat isn't ruined ;)
@@donnas2375 You lost me at "I wash my mats" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 💗💗 Pick up the spray and you will never wash them again 😁
I just got my scan and cut two days ago and was a bit intimidated by it. Your video was so helpful! I'm looking forward to using it now and will be excited to learn more from your videos to come! Thank you!
That makes me so happy! 😁❤️
My scan 'n cut is Way older than yours. I've never changed it to color before. It'll have to try that. I do get frustrated because it doesn't scan everything. These are great tips. I don't know if my machine has that smooth option, but I'll look for it. Thanks!
I hope it helps you Karen 😊💗😁
Glad you are loving your machine. I have one for years and love it. Thanks for Arleens tacky spray💕
I love that stuff a million perfect!! lol 😁💗💗
I don't have one of these machines, but if I did I'd know how to work it now. You explain everything so well Cindy Lynn. 💕
Awww thanks Miss Judy!! Funny story; Yesterday Todd came in with the mail and said "You have something from a French person" 🤣🤣🤣 Yours was the FIRST Birthday card I got in the mail this year. Totally unexpected but so very kind of you. Thank you xoxo 💗💗 (I'll show it off in the Live Stream next Thursday 😊😉)
Thank you. You are a wealth of information. Easy peas,lemon squeeze 😂😂😂love that expression. Great tutorial ❤️👍👏
Genius!!! Have you had any problem with that spray adhesive since it says permanent?
Not at all. I've been using it A LOT! *Pinkie Swear* Just spray lightly. One quick mist. You will be fine. Then you can also use it for other stuff like I do in my videos (i.e.. gluing small tedious things lol) 😁🤣💗
I've been doing this It works great! My question is does the glue effect the blade?
Nope. Never, I'm still doing this, with the same blade I used in that video as a matter of fact. And I use my machine A LOT. I've used this method in many many videos since 😉
@@_MyInkieFingers thank you this tip has been fantastic ❤️
Any re - positionable spray will work, I used them a lot with my other cutting machines. The snag here is that the sprays are pricey, if you are looking at branded ones, certainly. However, dilute Tack it Over and Over in a spray bottle also works:)
I don't think it really gets much cheaper than under $10 for this huge can without the hassle of mixing yet another thing! lol 😁😉💗 (If one can afford the machine they can afford 10 bucks 🤣🤣🤣)
@@_MyInkieFingers Ah, but I don't live in the USA, I am in Spain - and aside from the fact it would be dearer here, it isn't sold on Amazon (Spain) and probably won't be as things are more likely to be classed as prohibited (aerosols) in the EU. No local craft shops either!
@@createinspain What a shame! At least you have a workaround 💗😊
I have Krylon Temporary adhesive spray. I've never used it on my Scan 'N Cut mat as I haven't used it enough to lose what stick is on it. When it does lose the sticky is that not a good one to use? Does it leave a residue unlike the AileensTacky spray? I really like the clarity you offer in your videos, as well as the humour. Thanks.
Thank you for the SnC tips as well! I have the DX125 & really like my machine but know it has so much more potential than what I know what to do with it. At times, I can barely cut my stamped images because I seem to be doing something wrong. I’m gonna keep this video on hand to simply what I maybe doing wrong. There are so many you tube videos & they can be confusing & are not exactly what you maybe looking for. Thanks so much!!
I completely agree with you on the amount of confusing videos! I was in the very same boat. I plan on making more clear and to the point videos in the future so stay tuned. 😉😁❤️
@@_MyInkieFingers Thanks so much! That will be great, I welcome all of your great tips!!
This is the machine I just ordered. I only wanted it for cutting stamped images. Makes me nervous that you have had problems cutting the stamped image. It is a big investment.
@@brendakearns1402 Honey I think everyone has experienced confusion and frustration at some point with this machine. It can be very intimidating and hard to understand all the features and buttons. BUT! You have my video to help keep it simple for you. And when your mat stops sticking (which will be not very long after you get it) you will have a quick fix. Hang in there sister, you'll be ok 💗😉💗
@@_MyInkieFingers I totally agree. It definitely has a learning curve. I also have a Cricut Maker (doesn’t scan & cut out things) but I have only used it once. I don’t pay to use the Canvas Workspace because I don’t use it enough to justify the $10 a month.
TY - yes my mats aren't sticky almost as soon as I use them & tape (any kind) is a PIA!
One would think they would make better mats as it's one of only a few consumable products they have to go with the machine. This would make us buy them more often. But as they are poor quality they are losing a lot of revenue. If only women ruled the world! 🤣🤣
@@_MyInkieFingers I just cleaned them all with dish detergent & like the idea of spraying paper individually - does it gunk up the cutter? I've gotten better about cleaning that too tho ... Yes, very different designs on MANY things if women had their say!!
I have had ZERO issues with 'gunk' 😉💗 (Use a light hand when you spray - a fine quick mist. And you do not have to have 100% coverage. Just the areas where the images are)
All DX machines can only feed their mats in one direction. The edge with the arrow is the feed edge. The cutout triangular shape is for hanging the mat. Usually how it is marketed in stores. Test cut simply makes a small cut in a portion of the material that you select on the screen. There are different basic shapes to choose from. It lets you know if your settings will successfully cut the material you've loaded before committing time & possibly wasted effort if the settings aren't good enough. The plastic stylus they include isn't really necessary. You can use your finger or finger nail to control the menu options. You can even press and swipe up or down to scroll the screen's options but only if there is a series of menu arrows presented on the screen.
Be careful not to roll your mat too much because once you get a crease in it good luck flattening it back out.
Thanks so much i need more
Scan N Cut
Videos Please. You are a very good teacher please teach a course from Beginning to the End Thanks ❤
Have you made a NEW SCAN N CUT VIDEO YET!!!!! lolol. no really !!
I hope you have more SNC tutorials. I’ve learnt more from you in 10 minutes that I did some of the others that lasted an hour or more. Thank you so much.
You got it Dolores! BE sure you're subscribed as there will be some good ones in the new year 😁 Merry Christmas ☃️🎄🎅💗
This was great! Thank you for all that info - I loved my Brother SNC before, but had no idea about the additional editing I can do.
April
That's awesome! I've got some more videos coming up so stay tuned 😉❤️
O girl you save my life and my pocket book, this is sooooo easy and I love the tip on the jewel picker too. I just misplaced my pointer that came with the San N Cut. Yea These mats get so expensive cause they don't last and I had to keep buying one too often. I like this option for reusing these mats. Thanks for the tip!
You're very welcome! 💗😊
Thanks for this tutorial. Could you please advise what the tool is called that you are using to get the die cut off the mat. So excited to get into cutting and doing sentiments and die cuts after 3 years of giving up
It's a Cricut tool 😉😊
Just got my scan and cut, thanks for the great tips. Having issues with it not recognizing the pattern.... it scans but won't cut. Frustrating at times. Would love to see more video tips so I can enjoy it more.
Try following what I did. If it won't cut and has never cut I would contact Brother ❤️😉
@@_MyInkieFingers Thank you, it does scan and cut.. maybe my problem is sizing and that's why it is not recognizing the pattern when it goes to cut. Scans no problem but after i adjust the size is when it gets frustrating. Will plug away and hopefully will be more successful. :)
Thank you so much! I will get a lot more use out of my scan n cut after watching this!
Yay! That makes me so happy 😁💗
Wow. I am new to your videos. Wow. I learned so much from you. You just made my life so much easier! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Hi watching replay . Got scan n cut but don’t use it much. Hopping you can teach me some tricks
Pull that baby out and conquer it Jill! Determination (and having me around) wins every time 🤣🤣 (I sound so vain but it's all in good fun xo ❤️)
Hi there, just found your u-tube video about finally sticking to the brothers scan&cut, AMEN it worked. SO, I have a question, Do u have a good way to get that blade sharp. I need to cut my items 2x it will not go through the 1st time making me nuts!!!
Sorry a dull blade is a dull blade. I buy these knock offs and they work great! geni.us/nZdB Be sure to install them correctly and ignore the comments of the people who say they don't work. I have an SDX85 and they're perfect! 😉😊
I’ve never seen anyone explain ‘ignore object size’ (or smoothing) which would have solved all my frustrations. Also can I vent that the control screen does not rotate, so you either stand beside the machine and lean over awkwardly or you stand in front at least a foot away for mat clearance 🙁. Brother knows to put the control screen on the side of photocopiers, same need here. Thank you for saving me from wasting $250!
Haha! I had to read that second line twice but then it clicked! And YES!! What a dream it would be if it rotated!! I'm always doing the bird dance trying to find the angle that has no glare so I can actually see what I'm doing! Too funny 🤣🤣🤣
Ty. I just bought the same machine. Does it always leave a white border around the pics? I haven’t used it yet. I broke knee cap and can't get to it. I watching how to video's to learn. Than you
Yes 😉
You should try using a thin metal palette knife. It'll scoop those images off much easier.
Thanks for your video. My scan and cuts comes tomorrow. Very excited!
OH YAY!! Happy Day! IMPORANT TIP: DO NOT put regular cardstock on a brand new mat. You will be scraping it off. Pinkie Swear. Place a nice clean pillow case on top of the mat to remove some of the sticky. Trust me. These mats are TOO STICKY out of the box, and then within a very very short amount of time are NOT sticky at all. It's a nightmare. Have your Aleene's spray handy and all your issues will be solved. xo 💗
Thank you. It is out of the box, it has been calibrated and cut my first stamp image… so far a success! I have thought of getting a scan and cut for many years but heard so many negative reviews on them. Hoped the technology had caught up and since I’m doing more cards than anything else I decided to get one. Great Black Friday buy. Though I own very few Stampin Up products (not so much my style) I really enjoy your videos. You are very real and fun to watch. I am happy to see you branching out into other products. I am Canadian but live in Lynden WA. Keep up the great work and happy concocting!

@@sharoncollier6900 I'm so happy you're having fun with it Sharon. Watch for a new concoction tomorrow 😁❤️
Omgosh! I forgot I bought this bc of you & it's still in a box!
Of course it is! 🤣🤣🤣
I'll have to try the spray. I have an older machine and it doesn't like small pieces of paper to cut images. As it's cutting, the paper will come lose and ruin the image. Thanks for the tips!
That exactly what mine was doing not long after I got it. I was NOT impressed. The mats are so poorly made for such an expensive machine. I had to come up with something because buying more mats was just not an option at the price they are. And the business of resticking it over and over and over was so time consuming. I'm way too lazy to do restick my mat! No thanks! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Nice video thank you. Can I ask where you get that pen you're using?
Hey GURL..Coco Here, Dang I love your videos!!! I can See how much time and effort you put into them!! I love the humor and all the details,, I've only watched you live segments.. or a live recorded..haha... I LOVE MY SnC..She's a beast of a workhorse, and I hope to someday be as good as you are with your videos...side Note I hope all is well, maybe with a little more freedom from your stampin up, Dont know if I missed anything..But I wish you well.. keep on BEING you.. you are KILLING it..
Awww thanks so much for your kind words Coco. You're a sweetie 😊💗😊
I bought a scanncut last April but have been having some problems learning how to use it completely because I haven't had a cricut or silhouette at all to let me have any familiarity to the functions. This video is the first that I've watched to actually help me! 😂 Thank you so much. I hope you continue showing the functions of different options on the scanncut in the future! 💜
I sure will be doing more SnC videos 😉💗
Oh Cindy Lynn I just bought one, make lots of videos so I can learn from you!
I plan on making more videos for sure. Let's make this simple and fun right?! 😜😉😁❤️
I have an older silhoutte machine. Would this work also for cutting out stamped images? I always was so upset about the sticky mats and my paper not sticking. Thanks for the tip.
I don't much anything about the Silhouette. But I don't believe it's scans. 😉❤️
Thanks for sharring these tips I have a scan &cut and a cricut this helps happy Turkey day
You got it Brenda. And happy Turksgiving to you too! Have a bite of a drum for me xo❤️❤️🦃🦃
Very good to know. The mat situation is the one thing that keeps me from using my machine. It doesnt stay sticky long. I spend way too much time dealing with that than with cutting. And they are NOT in expensive. One question however, should we be concerned with the residue stick on the mat when it contacts the rollers inside the machine? Anyone have any issues with this? Thanks again
I have had no issues with residue. The mat is still smooth and not tacky when the image is removed. Be sure not to overspray. Just a fine quick mist is plenty. I'm confident that you will be impressed. 😊❤️
I am trying to buy a cutter for my elementary school teachers so they can use it for classroom or bulletin boards. Do you think the scan and cut would be good for teachers? I am worried about the learning curve?
Super video, now i need to dust mine off and give it a go again, thanks heaps : )
Have at er! You can do it. You will be saving tons of money and cutting all your stamps in no time 😁💗
Thanks for the tip!! Loving the scan and cut tips and tricks!
You're welcome Sarah ❤️😁
I finally bought the Eleen spray adhesive. I does not come out in a fine mist but bursts out in blotches. I read reviews about they changed the nozzle. So was wondering if you know if yours or mine is the "new"nozzle. Have you tried 3m?
I've never had mine spray that way. I would return it and get another one 😉
Great tutorial! This is the best instructional I've found. Finally, I understand the process.
Yay! Mission accomplished. Thanks so much Lili 😁❤️
It truly is amazing how many confusing videos there are out there. I think they are confusing because the person doing the tutorial pushes the wrong button several times, then stumbles upon the right one, then regresses because they forgot a step they should have done. It is extremely frustrating. Now, I have never filmed a tutorial so maybe it is easy to make those kind of mistakes, but isn’t that what editing is for? Thanks for a straight forward easy to follow tutorial.
@@kiminalaska9363 Amen sister! It goes to show how powerful editing is doesn't it? Then people wonder why it takes me up to 8+ hrs to edit, upload, write a description, create links, write a blot post... Yadda yadda. It's a lot of work for those of us invested in delivering content our viewers will enjoy and leave them wanting to come back for more. I'm so thankful you can appreciate the video (even though I had an audio issue and hated the quality) it means a lot to me ❤️😁❤️
I don’t own a scan and cut but I find it to complicated, it would be nice to use one instead of having so many stamps and dies, it would take less space. Thank you for sharing.
I'm confident that if you follow my tips and be patient just a little longer it will pay off in the end Ana. I know how frustrating the machine can be, but once you get it going the results are so satisfying 😁❤️
Thanks Cyndy!! I don’t have a brother but now I want one!!
Your so welcome! And check your junk folder I sent you an important email 😊❤️
Does this work for delicate papers like chiyogami or printer paper? The instructions for the machine say to buy the low-tack mat for these papers but when the adhesive stops sticking on the low tack mat, I’m curious to know if your solution would work for these papers as well or if you recommend something else. Thanks for the great videos, always super helpful!
I'm not sure about copy paper as I've never had the need to cut it. If you try be sure to use a very light spray. Then wave it a bit to dry before placing on the mat 😊💗
Thanks for the information. It looks like a great machine but it seems like the die cuts would be so much quicker.
It especially useful when u have mtiple images. It also saves me hundreds and hundreds on buying dies. But yes, for one inage a die would certainly be quicker. It's all about what you find value in and what makes YOU happy. That's all that matters 😉❤️
I noticed you had white 80lb card stock listed. Is this card stock comparable to Stampin Up white or thick white?
Not at all. It's MUCH better. It's ultra white and never cracks when folded. The heavier one is 120lb. It's so strong and sturdy. It truly makes my cards feel more professional at a fraction of the price. I'm obsessed with it. I did a comparison here: th-cam.com/video/Ia_zT0adoi0/w-d-xo.html
thank you for sharing....i just think your videos are cute and funny. and interesting. I have a cricut, so i am going to try it on my mat. Hopefully, it will work for me. I just like your sense of humor....so cool!!!
Laughter is good for the soul! With what our world has become, we just need to escape (in our minds - as none of us can afford a ride in a rocket ship) and create our own place to exist. You can pop into my world any ole' time you wish 😁💗
A chuckle for all: machine is 2 yrs old... just out of it's box 4 dys ago! I created my design in Wilcom Hatch, exported cutting as "SVG", brought it into the SNC 85S; can't fighre how to move the ungrouped objects individually to get them onto the right piece of material... any help will be so very greatly appreciated. Thank you again for a wonderful tutorial. BTW: I checked out the Make The Cut software, can't find where to purchase it though I see a price of $79???
I just plot with Silhouette machines, but the not sticky mats are the same there. First it was so strong that I needed to fuss it with a towel, otherwise it would rip the paper when I try to pick it up and then some uses later its not sticky enough. On things like your example I use washitape to stick it to the mat.
When its a little more complicated and could slip around while cutting I use a newer mat. I should try your trick, thanks for sharing
My mat was the same. So dang sticky I had to scrape cardstock off of it! Enjoy the spray hack. I just did entire sheets of cardstock yesterday full of stamped images and it worked wonderfully 😊💗
Hi this is such a great way to make your mat sticky. I would love to see more hacks.
There's more to come in the New Year Jill. 😁 Merry Christmas 💗🎅☃️🎄
I don't own one of these machines. I'm still indecisive about buying one, as I don't know if I'd have the patience to operate it. Lol 😄 But thank you for the tutorial. 😊 I'll definitely be referring to it if I ever buy this contraption.
It took me 2 years before I decided to take the plunge. It sat in my Amazon Wishlist for ages!! It wasn't until the price drop that I said "Ok, I'm doing it" It's gone down even more now! But to each their own right 😁😉💗💗
