Every summer I try to enrich my life somehow. This summer, I'm choosing to watercolor daily, even if it's just something quick. I wish I could keep up the habit to do something creative everyday year round, but I alway end up falling off the wagon when life gets busy.... Continue reading

She's going to love the DX machine Carla! Have you tried unzipping it with WinZip or similar program/app? ScanNCut files are .FCM so once they are unzipped you will need to use CanvasWorkspace to see them.

Yes it works fine with clothing patterns as long as they fit on the mat. (There are 12"×24" mats too.) The blades are awesome for fabric! You can use the ScanNCut with Brother embroidery, but I'm not very familiar with the process, but Cindy Hogan can walk you through it.

I use ScanNCut Canvasworkspace (it's free) and then send it over WiFi using the ScanNCut transfer option.

I do have a separate blade for fabric...but you don't have to. The standard blade cuts both fabric & paper.

ScanNCut2 isn't a printer, so you'd need to print it then cut it or use the "draw" option to draw it instead of printing it.

Use CanvasWorkspace (formerly called ScanNCutCanvas) to import or convert it...or you can print it and then scan it in with your ScanNCut. You can try out CanvasWorkspace even without having a machine. https://canvasworkspace.brother.com/en
