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.

I was asked to make some bunting with the words “friends are forever” I made it on Saturday night but didn’t have enough lace to string it together so I had to buy some more whilst out shopping today.
It’s about 2.5 metres long so here’s a little peek.
All the embroidery was done on my Janome Memory Craft 9900, cute I think don’t you?

I thought I would try and cut hessian today with the ScanNCut I jumped straight it and went for it. I used the settings that I used recently for cutting felt and it cut a dream.
Regular mat, regular blade 7, pressure 9 , speed 5 , HeatNBond ultra ironed onto the back, with the paper backing removed and HNB side down onto the mat. I cut in one pass.
The photo shows the band for the hat and two flowers. The fabric was cut with regular mat, regular blade 4, pressure 4 , speed 5 and HNB again.
This is what I made with it, I’ve not used the flowers yet.
