ScanNCut In the hoop appliqué

A few months ago I posted a video showing how I used my ScanNCut to scan the basting line of an in the hoop appliqué design.

I thought I would try it out again today, this process works well with the ScanNCut and can save time on cutting and gives a very neat finish to a project. I used a different design this time.

The original post was dated 29th March and the video is here showing how I did it.

Cutting Vinyl on the ScanNCut

I spent ages this morning recording a video showing how to cut vinyl on the ScanNCut but something went wrong and I lost the video.

So I had to start again, this video is only short but shows the basics of cutting vinyl on your ScanNCut machine, It shows what settings I use and how to remove the vinyl from the mat once cut and how to transfer the design onto another surface.

I hope it helps.

Bird Cushion

So I was looking around the net recently and I came across this cute bird cushion project on a Brother website Here

So today I decided to try it out, the link above gives you the pattern for both the branch and the bird. I printed the pattern off twice I scanned one bird pattern into the ScanNcut and used scan to cut data, but I would suggest you cut away the pattern section names before you start as my scan picked those up so I scanned again without them.

Also the wing piece is on top of the body section so I cut just that piece from my second pattern and added to my scan mat so that I could scan all the parts in go and save them all together.

I used HeatNBond as usual on the back of my fabrics and as you can see it cut perfectly as always.

Finally I cut out the branch pattern by hand and traced around it onto my fabric and stitched with a decorative stitch.

Here is the finished cushion.

I am on a roll now with these, I love them.
