Great machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up and getting started was easy, the machine does the work for you. I used to admire my friends for all of the projects they had on display, now my wife and I can do the same. There are downloaded images to use at the touch of a button and the machine adapts to the type and thickness of material being cut. Using the software is easy and adaptive. This tool also comes in very handy for my kids and their class projects. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has interest in this type of hobby or need.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Endless Possibilities

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a neat printer/cutter. The initial set up is pretty easy to do. We had a little trouble at first getting our wireless internet set up, but we eventually got it. We were just looking in the wrong place.
It comes with a mat, spatula, and a stylus pen for the display.
I will be honest, we had some trouble getting it to cut the pattern. It is super easy to set up what pattern you want. It just takes a few steps. I had to run the mat through the printer and pattern several times before it actually cut. I'm not sure if it was because the blade was new or what. I presumed it would have cut first thing. I put it on different settings and it just wasn't cutting the card stock. After several attempts it finally did cut. I pulled the paper up and used the spatula to lift my pattern off.
What is super cool with this Brother is that you can actually scan your own designs and use your computer to print/cut out whatever you like. It will cut vinyl, some fabrics, cardstock, etc.
I'm definitely going to get some materials and make some Christmas crafts with this. The possibilities are endless with this cutter. This is a crater's dream come true.
I was intimidated at first, but now I can't wait to make designs for tshirts, decals, and everything in between.

After a while the matt stops feeding correctly which sucks because this is my second cutting machine. I also have a label maker and a sewing machine. I had to go buy a cricut machine to keepy side business going. I sent it to be fixed and was told it was the matt after getting it back I had a brand new matt it gave me the same issues with a new matt.

Best thing since sliced bread!

I wish I knew about and had purchased the Scan N Cut earlier! I do a lot of papercrafting (cards, calendars, scrapbooking etc.) and the SNC has saved me so much time! I found it very easy to use the first time by just following the quick guide instructions. Set up straightforward and easy. For me the only downside is the size of the machine as I have such a small working craft space. That being said, it is portable and easy enough for me to move the machine to the kitchen counter or dining room table to work.

Awesome Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this machine, using for fabrics and paper.
This was my first time using a cutting machine.
Set up and Installation were both very simple, includes so many templates and fonts for free on the machine itself.
You need to get to know the machine and play around with the settings. It took me a few trial and errors and some research and videos to get to know the machine better. Start up was simple, I watched some videos on how to operate, and made the project that came with the machine-no problems at all. I am still learning all options and looking forward to all I can create. The transfer between the machine and the computer via internet is very easy and you can add collections through a usb.
My all time favorite feature is the scan feature, it allows me to print stickers and scanning into the machine it will cut them without me having to have a cut file. The auto blade works great for beginners. I love the tool storage. The screen is great. This machine has many other features but I haven't used them yet.
For many reasons this is a superior product than other brands. Also, love the fact it’s a stand alone device. The possibilities are literally endless.
I highly recommend it no matter your skill level.

Awesome machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cutting machine was super easy to set up and the sample project it included was absolutely adorable and got me really excited to try more things.
The machine comes with everything you need to get started (cutting mat, a few tools and a blade cartridge) and I totally loved all of the storage for tools, etc.
You can make your own projects by scanning in an image (such a great feature!) or you can use some of the over 250 built in designs that comes with the machine to make your project. The machine also has a built-in LCD touchscreen!
I absolutely love it and I’m excited about all of the wonderful things I will get to make!

from Delanson NY
I love the machine its great. I am glade I bought this machine. The only reason I didn't give a five stars is I have been having trouble with the feeder bar and have not got any answer back from brother to fix it. But o still use it I just have to adjust the lock on the bar because it slips out every once in a while.
