Hi you have to be the most positive and happy person on Utube that provides videos for CWS, Artspira, and of course Scan and cut. You are a very good instrcutor. I say that with some experience of being a US Army Training instructor for Artillery Software and a daily trainer of line unit soldiers.. Great job everything I watch one of your videos.
Thank you for watching Ed. Julie is great!
Incredibly helpful. Thanks for the detailed information. I now feel that I could actually try to do this here at home.
Julie, you are amazing...I am now using my Scan n Cut for much more than just cutting shapes....I love it! Thank you so much for your very informative videos. Keep them coming!
Love your tutorials. I'm so hooked on my Scan n Cut (and I just received it last week lol). Love your smile too. :)
Wow, that is a bunch of info to digest. I may need to rewatch, but the end result will be worth it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for this tutorial - very clear and easy to follow - I have had a few failures before trying to do this
You have saved my hair. No more pulling it out! And I am sure the neighbours will be thanking you as well as the loud frustrated screaming is likely to stop :)
Thank you for watching Robyn! We are glad that you found this video helpful.
Hello Julie, I am in the process of buying my cm900 very excited. I love your tutorial and confident I made the right decision to buy one knowing I can always go to your blog for more creative ideas. Thank you for sharing.
It is 3.00 a.m. in the U.K. and I am glued to your tutorials, they are amazing thank you so much - err I think I should go to bed though lol x
😊😊😊😊q😊¹
Julie, you rock! Merci beaucoup !
Huh? Thank you for sharing! It'll take me a few repeats.
Lady you’re very inspirational, extremely beautiful, well articulated, and I just can’t say enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK U.....For the Videos that help me so much with my 350 scan n cut!
Thank you ever so much for this. You're very inspirational.
I have just finished editing a jpeg of a spider for my little grandsons birthday. The process was so easy following along with you and I'm thrilled it worked sooo well. I love all your tutorials they have been so helpful in getting the most pleasure out of my machine. Thankyou so much
There are lots of good questions and nice comments but she never replies.
Thanks for the great tutorials! I am trying to do this method with another clip art, but it only "grabs" parts of the design. I've even tried bringing it into Inkscape and converting it to svg first, but ScanNCutCanvas won't read it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the tutorial, this was exactly why i just bought the cm260. Im really exicted to make paint jobs out of stencil logos.
Love your tutorial! I transformed a .jpeg into a .fcm file using image tracing, named my file, downloaded it and cut my image. Yay! How do I get the file to save to "My Projects" in Canvas?
Morning, firstly thank you for your tutorials, they are so easy to follow. just one thing when you mention they need to be high resolution, how high do you mean?
I am very new to Brothers ScanNCut2 I received it as a gift just 2 weeks ago. I have been watching your tutorial to learn how to use it. You are a very good teacher. I used the same owl image you have and followed your instructions. You are so easy to understand that I was able to do everything all the way to saving the image to my computer. I have a laptop with Windows 10. I was doing so good until I tried to open the file I saved as a fcm. It keeps asking me "how do you want to open this file?". I tried all the different choices but I still could not open the save file. Could you help me please?
Excellent tutorial thank I am new so I want to learn how to use it.
great stuff ;) would it be possible to do a much larger image lets say 300mm x600mm?
Hi Julie, I’ve learn so much from you! I have a question though.When you refer to the option key on your keyboard, I think you have a MAC? What would the same key be on a standard keyboard? Also, have you recorded a video that shows a good way to bring in fonts for vinyl cutting? If so, could you post a link please? Thanks you so much, you are so easy to learn from!
how did you add colors to the owl
Will the Brother Scan n Cut 2 allow me to cut iron on fabric(not sure what its called) typically used to make letters or graphics I could iron on to Tshirts? I have a new Grandbaby on the way and want to personalize some onzies or little T shirts with her name
I've watched all your video, and many others. I follow this video step by step. Even using the exact same owl image. Canvas won't let me import it. Says, cannot use this type of file. Help please.
would you need to save in drawing lines and cutting lines separately - how would you do that so the Brother Scan N Cut can do both draw the inside and cut only the outside - thanks
What key on a non-apple product is the "option" key you hold down to save the image?
Very cool
I was lost once you said the view tab which this version 2.61 doesn’t have. I still watched it though to pick up some tips. Im new to this and just got a SDX125e . And I’m scanning videos to see what I can learn. Just wanted to give some feedback. Thanks for sharing though
So did the grouped owl cut as one piece and you colored it or did it cut each piece and you layered it on the whole owl?
And don't you have to ungroup to cut the pieces?
She did!
I found an owl exactly like yours without the books. Put it into canvas and did what I thought I should do, I separated a bunch of little pieces and sent all to my machine. It came out in a bunch of little pieces. What did I do wrong?
when I use the download option it doesn't give me this window. It gives me a choice to open only .FCM file. what gives?
Love all your videos, which are so helpful. My Scan n Cut 2 is on its way, but what is confusing me is do I need a USB memory stick to transfer things? I am a bit disappointed by that, as I use my iPad Pro most of the time, and thought I could do things wirelessly. Thanks
Fiona Nelson u can use the iPad n send them if u have activation card
Can you please do a new video on how to convert from jpg or png to svg for the new Canvas Workspace for PC and how to transfer to cut on the new SDX225? Thanks
When opening the picture according to this instruction the option window appears:
“Do you want to paste the selected image on the work area? The image can not be edited and saved.”
If I choose YES, the picture moves to the work area, but I can’t edit it.
If I choose NO, the picture is not moved.
What can I do, to edit the picture?
thanks
Susan
Can this procedure be done using an image that is not animated or cartooned? Such as a fabric looking material that has a variety of floral designs, but you want the image of just one flower?
Hi Julie - I can follow your instructions - and the line based image shows up on my scan n cut - however when I go to draw the image - it says - no pattern in the effected area - can you help with this?
I tried to download the owl image from shutter stock and ran into problems. First, after clicking on the "visit" button, I was redirected to a url that wanted me to download the app "unzippy". Since you thought it was ok to download files from that website I went ahead and downloaded and installed unzippy. Them my mac gave me several unwanted programs like Opera and WOW.com and some app for cleaning up my Mac. I finally got rid of all of those unwanted programs. Is there a safe way to download free images from shutter stock?
WONDERFUL VIDEO I HAVE A QUESTION DOES THE SCAN AND CUT CAN RECOGNIZE CROP MARS ON DOCUMENT THAT ALREADY PRINTED?
The ScanNCut is able to scan printed materials to create cut files within the machine or to take to CanvasWorkspace. If you need further assistance, please contact Brother Customer Service at:

I haven't worked any of this out yet - but my ? is - once I convert the file format - besides saving it onto the cloud - can I also save the file to my own pc as well?
Yes, she was saving things to her computer; her Downloads folder is on her own computer.
I have the DX225 and can't find the imaging tracing icon? Can you help me find please.
Hi Julie I would love to make a picture image puzzle is it possible with scanNcut how do I go about it? Hope to hear from you soon
Wow god did i need this tutorial thank you, just got the sdx1200 its great still learning im just not happy with automatic blade it has ruined my mats lol
I would NOT be "laughing out loud" if it trashed MY mats!! YOU have a much more forgiving heart than I WOULD!!!
Hi Julie..I was wondering why you ended up with 2 owls? And if I wanted to cut it out, which one would I cut? I was following all of the steps until I found an image I liked but each time I clicked "visit", I was directed to Pinterest. I could never get the download option. By the way, I have Windows. It's 4 am..I need to rest my brain.😂 Thanks
When adding my jpeg to my canvas I am getting a messages - Confirm - Do you want to past the selected image on the work area? The image can not be edited and saved. I'm working on a Mac. Why do I always get this message? I made the jpeg, saved at high resolution. Opened the Canvas site to upload the picture. Then I get this messages. Frustrated. New to my machine that has been sitting in a box for 2 years. I'm finally brave to try it out and can't follow along because of this message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How was the color added and can you resize this image?
She said she used fill in feature using the drawing feature I presume.
Hi. I have the latest version of Canvas but your version has many more tool bar options. For example I don’t have a download button when I try to import a jpg. Why is this? Thanks
Please help me. I cannot find view in canvas workspace to follow your tutorial. I also ork in mac
The canvas platform has changed so much since your tutorial. I don't see anywhere, where I can do the image load into canvas. Help please?
Yah. I found that the "download" version does not match the one on the internet. I will just log into the one on the internet
This is such a funny video
Is there an updated version of this since the program is different now? When I try to remove parts by overlapping them the circle becomes attached to the cut file and I can't delete or move it.
So i got a problem, i have the scan n cut CM100DM, I designed some stuff in canvas, then i put it into the scan n cut and just recognized a few patterns, the others appears me in blue, when i want to cut them they disappear, why happen that?
Hi, i press the download key after editing the image, but it does not give me any option to choose the filetype.
I like the video, but wish you showed the actual cutting of the owl. I like from start to complete finish. Other than that I liked it. I just got my machine today.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm new to this and afraid to do anything because there are so many steps.
Jen I am going crazy with my new scan and cut DX. But I want to print a file and I am at a loss. Which class do you have to print a file
I’m very new to this, so thank you! I have used the same owl as you did, it transfers to my canvas, but is very small. When I change the percentage to 100, the mat gets so big that I can’t even find the owl! The drop down menu is greyed out and I can’t move the owl. What am I doing wrong? I have a PC. Thank you!

How can I delete unwanted object inside a shape? I tried your trick but it left the new shape inside that I cannot remove.
Can this be done with a smartphone
how do you adjust the size after importing the jpeg?
THIS is a VITAL piece of info!!! I SO hope you got the answer you needed!!!
can u draw a jpeg image with brother scanncut?
how did you colour it
Can u just drag it to your desktop and then make it a jpeg or svg. I an very new ti this. I see people doing it with the other machines. Just wondering. By the way. I watch your videos every nite. I've learned so much.. thank you for all your time
@@BrotherCraftsUSA the software is out of date you now download brother canvasworkspace
hola, me gustaria saber si posible que tus videos tengan subtitulo en español?
TRANSLATION: Hello, I would like to know if your videos have subtitles in Spanish?
>>> Does anybody out there have an answer for her?
I have tried to do your tutorial but my canvas looks so different than yours and I am completely lost......... no view button and I can't seem to select individual items to delete them.
Mine too! I think this video is before the updates. So frustrating! I think outdated videos should be removed. Just imo
I do not have a Big Blue Download button anywhere or under any tab. Can not figure out how to save something
Kind of rushed the end, so not certain how you actually finished it up. Good tips on Canvas - thanks.
This can't get very detail pics how do I fix that?
I wish she would follow through to actually using the machine, so we know how to manipulate the file once its there.... My bran new Scan n cut 2..didnt come with a user manual...so I'm flying blind.
You can find the user manual on Brother’swebsite. I don’t remember exactly where tho. Use the search button on the website. I printed off a copy and bound it, as well as saving it to my computer, iPad and iPhone! You never know when you want to read it! Good luck!
Trying to upload files that I save. It won't let me.
Hi can you please let me know how can I transfer one logo to my computer from scan and cut program thank you
Thank you for watching! Please refer to page 85 in the manual below for the SDX125 if you are wanting to transfer a design or pattern from your ScanNCut to CanvasWorkspace:

Great video, but my SNC 550dx only accepts jpeg and not FCM!
The Brother ScanNCut CM550DX is able to read SVG and FCM formats. You are able to import jpg, gif, png, or bmp formats into CanvasWorkspace while using Image Tracing in order to convert it to a FCM file. Please see the link below for further assistance:

None of the tools appear after I said ok. Just shapes available.
They show all their downloads in the video. This video was only 8 years ago
I am trying to do this, but she seems to have a totally different tabs and options on her screen, mine looks nothing like hers to edit that out. I can import an image, but that is it. The company logo has a square around it (like the owl) and I tried calling customer service, they told me this can't be done, and I need to do a bunch of experimental projects before I try to make a tablecloth logo for my company, she then sent me an email and then hung up on me. Honestly, I asked for a Cricut for Christmas, but my husband wanted to get me this instead. He said I could do more with it, I haven't been able to do anything I wanted to do with it, it's nothing like what the videos are showing me. Everyone I know has a Cricut, so I can't even reach out to friends for help. I feel like my husband wasted his money, and I still didn't get what I was aiming for. I am so disappointed I spent all this money on rolls upon rolls of vinyl and heat transfer that are just going to sit there.
@@BrotherCraftsUSA a very nice lady from brother called me. She walked me through a couple of things, we spent close to 2 hours on the phone, but we still can't get my machine to cut. It is now eating my paper rolls. I tried to send short videos but email says they are too large. My husband feels horrible for such a failed purchase for a gift.
I was thinking, please don’t say “go head”, but 1min 2secs in, you say “go ahead”.
Dr Woo n
Humph!!! Even THESE folks HAVE QUESTIONS and NO ANSWERS!!!
a "high-resolution coloring book graphic"?? Ok, I think I'm seeing red flags. I'll try something else. Thanks for the warning.
This does not work, I have imported high-resolution images from different sites and the scan n cut never recognizes the full image, I have tried drawing with a black marker as shown, again issues. and that's why I purchased the scan n cut. That is why I purchased the scan n cut, for the freedom to create my own designs. It is a huge disappointment. and I donated my cricket.
@@BrotherCraftsUSA thank you, will call, very frustrated here
This seems like the only way to reach you people at BROTHER regarding your videos for the DESIGN 'n' Cut (COMMENTS THERE are BLOCKED!!!). P-L-E-A-S-E, for the sake of us quarantined folks -- PURCHASERS of YOUR PRODUCTS -- re-do the videos you made for the DESIGN 'n' Cut WITH A CLOSE-UP "WINDOW" IN THE UPPER CORNER!!!!! Even in expanded mode it's tough for us "low vision" people to discern WHAT the presenter is tapping on. And I have YET to find a CONCISE, step-by-step procedure check list to tell me HOW to cut out an image. What are the STEPS. And, are there truly 2 ways to get a cut out? (Ie., One: NOTHING on the page but the machine cuts "outlines" anyway -- OR -- Two: An image is present and the machine "knows" where to cut around the image? On this last one (if true), can we select HOW FAR from the edge we want to cut? Will the machine cut PRECISELY AT the edge, with no border outside the line? See, LOTS of questions but BROTHER doesn't seem to have an "answer person" for us DESIGN folks!!! P-L-E-A-S-E H-E-L-P!!!!
Just bought this today, and that crappy software looks the same from 8 years ago. So disappointed in this I'm sending the whole thing back. So far from automated, even with clear circle borders.
