Fabric Cut
Select a built-in design or one you've scanned in and cut fabric for sewing, quilting and appliqué. Allows for seam allowance.
Pen Draw
Automatically draw your selected built-in or scanned in design on fabric or your material of choice. For quilters, select the seam allowance to cut out the variety of fabrics you'll be piecing together.
Scan-to-Cut
Scan an image into memory, then edit it on the LCD display. ScanNCut will create cut lines automatically, then cut the design on your material of choice.
I am assuming that the customer is requesting this to work with applique designs. If that is in fact the case, the easiest way is to simply stitch the “placement stich” of the PES file on stabilizer, scan in the piece of stabilizer with the stitching on it—then use that file to cut the fabrics of their choice. Brother Education Department.
Our customer called and reported the problem with the Brother Scan N Cut, "Customer says that when she is trying to cut with a four its leaving fabric still attached when she is wanting clean cut. When she tries to use a six which gives her a clean cut, it also is cutting the mat. Customer would like to know if it is her machine or her that has the problem.
What type of fabric, what stabilizer, mat, pressure, speed and blade is she using? I am attaching a sheet for her to look at for starting points for settings. This is something I use in my classes. Every machine will differ and will change the longer the blade is used. It does dull like a rotary cutter. I am not sure why she went from a 4 all the way to a 6. If she is cutting fabric without stabilizer, I would suggest to her that she purchase Sullivan’s Spray Stabilizer. It temporarily stiffens the fabric (like starch), but is better than starch with the machine. There are tons of variables that play into this. She may simply need to change out the blade.
Hopefully, this info helps. By the way, the settings are using the blue blade cartridge. Cindy Hogan www.cynthiasembroidery.com
