    Brother Scan n Cut 2 Is Superior; VERY Happy I Bought It

    Brother Scan n Cut 2 Is Superior; VERY Happy I Bought It
    I am SO very happy I bought this! I've envied my sister's Silhouette machine for years, and did LOTS of research online before deciding to purchase the Brother Scan n Cut 2. A friend had returned hers, claiming it was too hard to figure out, but after watching lots of comparison and training videos on YouTube (Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's are extra helpful), I felt it was worth taking a chance, and Amazon had the best price. I especially liked that I could take pictures from ANYWHERE, trace them, and cut them - even my own handwriting!I purchased a sampler pack of Siser easy weed heat transfer sheets, and vinyl and cardstock from our local store (this didn't come with any materials). In the two weeks I've had this, I've made some cute place cards, personalized a pillow, and made banners and cards so far. I'm making cute little boxes to hold candy next. The detailed cutting with this machine is INCREDIBLE! Check out my pictures to see the tiny cuts in the leaves - amazing! And if I'm not sure how to do something, I pop over to Pinterest or YouTube and somebody has my answers already on there.Important to note: I have had great luck importing random pictures and using the "Image Tracing" feature for pictures I've drawn or found online. I've also found SVG files that Cricut and Silhouette users have shared (free ones exist!), with great success. Yes, this could have been a tricky process if I tried to figure it out alone, but watching the videos online have been incredibly helpful. So when you order this, spend some time watching beginner tutorials on the Brother website [...] and YouTube so you can jump right in when it arrives at your door.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Game changer!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2022

    I have had this machine for 3 1/2 years. I know it is difficult to find this model now but I can highly recommend it. The newer machines, based on the videos I have watched, are a bit more tricky to use. This is as basic as it gets. It does not have an automatic blade but who needs one. Unless you cut a huge variety of materials, you seldom need to change the setting and a quick test cut can show you if you have the right depth. I am absolutely amazed with this machine’s capabilities. I am a miniaturist and cut super tiny designs and labels with unbelievable accuracy. I have also cut designs such as stamped butterflies less than 1/2 inch wide, and it has cut the antennae perfectly. Likewise, I have cut rubber stamped dogs and cats and had it cut the whiskers- an incredible achievement. If you prefer, it can add a border to match your specifications. If you need a design cut both inside and outside of a line, it can do that as well. I also don’t need the wi-fi capability. I either put my designs on a thumb drive and transfer them by plugging the thumb drive in the machine or more often, I print or stamp my design and cut it directly. It can even cut designs out of wrapping paper or other commercially printed designs. One of the most valuable capabilities is the way it can scan in a background piece of paper, etc. then you can scan in your design and place it directly on top of the desired background piece. In a design where you want the various pieces to be different colors, this can save an enormous amount of time. The only thing you have to remember is not to leave open space in a design if you want the outline followed. All you have to do, if this is an issue, is to join a broken line with a pencil and erase it after the machine finishes cutting. I also love how you can resize, multiply, or join designs. The only thing I would improve are the mats. They do lose their tackiness very quickly. You can restick them but I have learned to deal with this by either a quick spray of removable spray glue if the design is very detailed or masking tape to hold less complex designs. I honestly see no reason to upgrade to a newer model and would definitely recommend this model as simple to use and maintain. I’ve never had a problem with it in over 3 years.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Creative flexibility, and a lot of fun!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this because I wanted to try out another cutting machine (I already have a Cricut Explore One). And I was intrigued by the scanning feature.

    The scanning feature is great! You can scan shapes in and cut them out. You can scan in your material on your cutting mat to make sure the cut is placed properly. I can use all my little scraps! I have been able to draw my own lettering and create cut files with them for iron ons and vinyl.

    There are quite a few built in files to cut, so if I just need some plain letters cut, I don't have to open the computer.

    I will say that the blade doesn't adjust automatically, you have to set the blade, and then set the speed and pressure on the machine, and these settings are not uniform from machine to machine. So you can't necessarily go by what others have used for settings. So you have to do test cuts. And I have heard of others cutting through their mats. Knock on wood, I haven't done that yet, but I keep an extra mat handy just in case.

    Also a con, you have to buy the wireless "card" if you want to transmit your designs wirelessly, otherwise you have to use USB to transmit them.

    There is a learning curve with the design software "Canvas". It is very different from Cricut's "Design Space". If you have used Inkscape or Illustrator or Silhouette Studio, you will have no problem. But there are lots of helpful videos on YouTube. Having said that, I feel I can do so much more with Canvas than with Design Space.

    I mainly cut vinyl and cardstock and I've had no problems. I still need to test out some thicker materials.

    It's sturdily constructed from hard plastic, with a thick high quality cord.

    This machine is priced higher than the Cricut Explore (the Maker is more) and the Silhouette machines. I paid for my ScanNCut 2, so this review is purely my own opinions.

    Overall, I am very happy with my ScanNCut. It has sparked my creativity, and I am having a lot of fun with it.

    It was a tough decision for me to buy this machine since I already have the cricut expression and many other cricut products. I was just fed up with the constant cricut upgrades rendering my products obsolete.

    I have to say I LOVE THIS MACHINE. Bye Bye cricut. This machine does everything and SO easy to use. I watched a couple of videos before my purchase, so when I received the scan n cut, I took it out of the box and used it immediately. WOOOOHOOOO. I am a card maker and love making my own die cuts. This machine is PERfect for that use. I can scan in anything and cut it out. Seriously people, buy it! You will not be disappointed. I have had this for 4 days and I think I cut more things out with this machine than I did with my cricut in 2 years. The intricate detail in the cuts amazes me. I haven't used the scan n cut canvas site yet, but I will.

    I plan on using this for other crafts too. Did I say this machine is awesome? Haha. It is. It's worth the money, in my opinion.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice machine but strictly a hobby machine.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017

    A nice machine. I design extensively in Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint, and then print the designs. The ScanNCut works well for me because I can scan the printed designs directly and cut them out without any registration problems. There is extensive help for new users on Facebook and YouTube, and I found startup to be extremely understandable and easy. That being said, I do come from a design background and I am aware of people who fear the machine. Although I design all of my own work, I understand that there is an extensive amount of artist created cutting files that can be purchased for this machine by those who are more into making craft projects than their own art. It's fun to use. I would have given it five stars except the cutting mats are kind of a hassle. I really should have bought a professional machine instead of a hobby machine, but I could not resist the low price of this one to get my feet wet into paper and vinly cutting.

    I really like the fact that you can scan whatever you want (a stamp, your handwriting, a print out...) and get a cut. There are many features - pretty easy to use - it also cuts some basic shapes. I do have a deep blade, but have not used it yet. Standard blade cuts well. Sometimes you have to fiddle with the scan recognition, depending on what you are scanning. I have a cricut that I love and I can scan separately and cut things there with imported files, which also has a use. I use it for etirely different reasons. But I love this too, becuase there is no size restriction other than the mat. I purchased this on sale and am very happy to have this machine. If you can spend the extra, you would be happy to have this as an addition to cutting and crafting. I really don't use the software with this one, becuase I have a cricut to do that.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Vinyl Cutting
    Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Disclaimer: I've only used it for vinyl so far.

    It is great! Once you learn how to use the software, it is excellent at optimizing the use of your vinyl by re-arranging patterns to waste as little space as possible. If you can hand-trace your vectors in Illustrator or Photoshop, it will create the cleanest lines. The scanner is great to preview where the vinyl is on the mat, so you can adjust where you're cutting. You can easily duplicate the patterns, scale them to any size, group the vectors so they're easier to position and move as a unit.

    Only bad thing is that when you're zoomed into an area for fine-tuning positioning, you can't actually move the pattern, or at least I haven't found a way. You have to zoom back out then move it, then zoom in to see if it is where it should be.

    The lines that are cut are very clean and crisp. I use a speed of 1, pressure 1, and depth of 1 for vinyl. If you use a high speed, the corners are not as clean.

    Don't listen to the directions that come with vinyl sheets, or the manual. Instead, start with the slowest speed, least pressure, and shallowest depth and do test cuts until you find a suitable setting for the material you're cutting. I used the settings in the manual which also matched the settings that came with the vinyl I bought, and it was way too deep and almost cut through the mat.
