I was just hunting how to cut plain vinyl when I discovered your channel. I’m a 79 years young lady trying to learn new tricks and I must say your instructions are so interesting that I’m hoping that you have more just like it. I’m new to scan and cut, it came with my sewing machine, and want to learn all about it. Thanks for sharing your time and amazing talent

I was confused to buy a silhouette or Cricut. Since I like making my own designs and seen this video I made up my mind. It's none of those machines. Thank you for this. I can wait to purchase

[annwills]

Love this video, explained so well without any unnecessary chatter, straight to the point. Thank you

[immaghost]

OMG thank you! I just ordered one of these machines, and every tutorial I have found so far just rambles on and on about nonsense. I appreciate people who get right to it and stay with it!

I have a BRAND NEW Scan&Cut DX230 Disney Limited Edition that I purchased last year in a box, has not been opened yet. I am have purchased the Vinyl Kit too. I am very intimidated tos start using them. I also purchased a brand new Brother Luminaire XP2 Embroidery Machine. I have never embroidered in my 50 years of sewing garments and everything else. I finally got some lessons from my dealer and now enjoying it so much. Now, it's maybe you that will encourage me to start using my scan&cut. I have also purchase the ironing gadgets. I have all the accessories that I need. I will continue watching your tutorial. Thank you for taking the time slow doing your tutorial.

Plzzz make more video's on this machine. I bought mine 2 years ago and still don't know how to use it. The place I bought it from wouldn't give me lessons. They said go on YouTube. But I've looked at 100's of videos. Yours is straight to the point and doesn't make my head feel like its going to exploded from unnecessary or dragged out brain numbing information. oh and I adore the skull bear shirt. Thanks so much for an excellent video :-D👍 Glenne

I am an old lady who took my machine out last year and have never registered it or downloaded the software. Thank you for walking me through the process it is not as scary as I thought. You are very precise.

By far the best video i have ever seen this is honestly the best video for beginners every other video on how to make a design and cut vinyl and transfer it to a shirt for beginners that i have seen are more for people that already do this and just want to learn a few more things those videos show you things on how to make a design that is wayyy to difficult for a beginner and they only show you how to apply vinyl using a cricut easy press or a heat press but they dont realize that a beginner is doing just that beginning so they might not have a easy press or a heat press wich makes people think that if you dont have these things then you cant get started on making shirts ... thank you so so much for showing everyone that you can heat press a shirt without all that expensive equipment and that you can doit with something you most likely already have at home this is exactly how a video for beginners should be excellent video man thank you again i am subscribing to you right now

Fantastic Xx I have a brother scan and cut machine however never used or watched the vinyl cutting and application process before, and honestly "thank bloody god" it was with you as I reckon I'd of watched 10 seconds and switched off with utter boredom. Thanks again x

[marys]

I hope you do more videos on the brother scanncut SDX 125e. Your tutorials are very easy to follow. Thank you for posting.

[HDEFMAN]

That was a very enjoyable video to watch. You covered everything involved in taking your design from start through to finish without skipping bits. Most commendable.

[revivingretro]

One of the best how-to videos for using your Brother Scan N Cut - In fact, all your videos are super informative. Since I use my cutter sparingly, I tend to forget some steps so I consistently refer back to this video. Thank you!

[ScruffySkillZ]

Really high quality video! Getting refreshed on vinyl cutting and this video made me 100% comfortable using this type of cutter and software. Also the addition of that other design software was awesome! I wish you reviewed vinyl cutters all the way up the spectrum to high end pro machines because of how well you explained everything!
