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.
Ive done blog posts before about how I cut fabric and felt with my ScanNCut, but on our Facebook group I am still reading comments that some people cannot cut these, so I thought I would do a video showing How I do mine which hopefully may help.
I hope its clear enough for you to see but I was filming it on my own, whilst trying to show the fabric and felt in the machine at the same time as trying to show how I chose the flower design and add a seem allowance layer! Also this video despite only being about 17 minutes long has taken the best part of 5 hours to upload, so I don’t really have the time to do it all again.
Just to clarify
I cut the fabric on Blade 4, Pressure 4, Speed 5 I cut the felt on Blade 7, Pressure 9, Speed 5 I used the regular mat and regular blade
I used HeatNBond Ultra and Vilene Bondaweb in my test to show how they both cut.
I made use of the flowers by making a door stop for my laundry door.
