Hi So this week Ive got over 500 Youtube subscribers and nearly 150 followers on my blog. I have to say I find that amazing.
But I guess its down to the popularity of the Brother ScanNCut. I probably wouldn’t have got involved with making video tutorials if it wasn’t for this machine. Ive had electronic cutting machines in the past but because this one is so new on the market I decided to make a video and its gone on from there.
So thank you to all of you who subscribe and follow and I will try and keep the videos, hints and tips coming.
I posted a flourish I had designed and cut recently which will be a future tutorial, but today Ive taken it a step further and used the clone with rotate tool in Inkscape and welded 5 together and made a flourish frame.
So I am offering the cutting file for free if anyone is interested. I have to say its not for the faint hearted some of the ends are very fragile.
Please only share the link to my blog, so that your friends can download the file directly from here. DO NOT share the cutting file.
Heres a photo of the cutting file and below is the design once cut.
You can download the cutting file from HERE

I posted a video recently giving ideas I had planned for future videos, I’ve had lots of feedback saying you are looking forward to them and also several suggestions from you asking for flourishes and doilies.
So over the weekend I had some time to try out both and will be doing videos in the future but I thought I would show you a couple of the flourishes I designed in. Inkscape and cut with the ScanNCut.
These were designed at about 10 inches wide but I reduced them to about 6 inches wide once I had the design on the machine, see how very thin some of the sections are and the ScanNCut, cut them perfectly.

Here is the video showing how you can make your own lattice templates in Inkscape and convert your file to cut with the ScanNCut machine.
Please refer to my other video in which I show you how you can take this a step further and create lattice shapes using the basic lattice template.
