Hi everyone, Ive heard a few people say in several groups online that they use pre wound bobbins because they have trouble winding their own. So todays tip is how I wind my own bobbins for sewing and machine embroidery and this works for me every time. Let me know if you do the same, or if you try it and it helps you. Or do you have any other tips that work for you? Thanks Ashley

Hi everyone I just wanted to share my HTV (heat transfer vinyl) sweatshirt I made last night. I love the offset, sketchy style of this cutting file. I'm not sure if you will see in the photo but the white outlines are so very thin on this design and the Loklik cutting machine cut them beautifully. The free design is in SVG format so any cutting machine should work for this design. I used a combination of heat transfer vinyls from HTVRont/Loklik for the white and Cricut and GM Crafts for the coloured glitter vinyl. You cannot see in the photo how sparkly these glitter vinyls are but it turned out lovely, Ive added a little video below. The white is cut as one file and then all you need to do is choose your colours for the inlay sections. It's easy to make and I used the warming trick I showed in a recent video which made weeding super easy (I will link to that video below for you. The cutting file is free from Creative Fabrica and again I will link it below. Also don't forget the CF joining/renewing offer is still on its an amazing discount, several of you have told me you have taken it up. Merry Christmas cutting file SVG Join/Renew Creative Fabrica at the discount price *The links to the vinyls Ive used are in my Amazon favourites under the shop tab above here on my website. These are affiliate links, but it doesn't cost you anything to use them, and it does help me out. I hope you like the design Ashley.

Hi everyone todays video is a quick tip for how to curve text for machine embroidery projects. I'm using embrilliance essentials but this should work with other embroidery software.

Hi everyone in todays video I am showing you how you can create text and cut it out with a border using print and cut. This is handy to know because you can create any text you like so it will help you personalise your projects, and you can use any colour as you are using your printer rather than using pens, which we normally draw with in our ScanNCut projects. Please watch all the video as the steps for printing and exporting are different than those Ive shown in other print and cut videos that I've made in the past where I've used images. I will link to my Youtube Print & Cut playlist below they are in newest order first. The font I used is from Creative Fabrica it's free as part of your membership, but you should be able to buy it on its own and the print and cut is available from Amazon. Also I will provide my affiliate link incase you want to join creative fabrica. Anastasia font from Creative Fabrica Join Creative Fabrica Print & Cut is in the Crafts section in my amazon favourites Print & Cut Playlist is here.

Hi everyone, todays video is as a result of a question I had sent to me by Pauline. It's about resizing so I thought the easiest way to try and explain it was to show you in a video. Also as I have been revisiting some of my old back to basic videos I thought this may help anyone who is new to the ScanNCut as well. I hope this explanation helps, but if you do have questions leave them in the comments box under the Youtube video.

Hi everyone in todays video I am showing you how you can cut land locked areas of your printables using the auto trace feature in canvas workspace for print and cut projects. If you don't know what a land locked area is on this image it would be the inside of the cup handle, that wouldn't be picked up on an outline auto trace. Todays video will walk you through how to get both the outside and inside areas cut out. The image I am using is free from Creative Fabrica as part of your membership, or you may be able to buy it at a one off cost, I will link it below. If you want more information on how to use or join creative fabrica I will link that for you. The Brother print and cut activation card is also linked in my Amazon favourites, which I will link to as well.
