This video contains a brief overview of the process of creating a PES embroidery file, exporting it as an FCM file and then using the resulting files in the Scan n Cut, to cut the fabric, and then in the embroidery machine, to stitch it out.
It is not possible for me to give a full step by step as there are so many different combinations of software, SNC machines and embroidery machines but I hope that this video will give you a good idea of the process from which you can create some fun and unique embroidered applique designs.

Are you a Brother Scan N Cut CM or DX* machine owner but don't feel that you are getting the most out of your machine or are you afraid to get it out of the box as you feel that you lack the confidence or the knowledge to use it?
Then, this course is for you!
My name is John Bloodworth and I have been active in the arts and crafts industry for over 30 years. Most notably, and most relevant to this course, I have been demonstrating the Brother Scan N Cut machines in the UK since their launch in 2013.
Now, I am looking forward to guiding you through your learning journey to creative confidence with your Brother Scan N Cut machine.
When creating this course, I outlined some key objectives that I wanted students to go away with after they had completed the course.
These were that, by the end of this series of lectures, students will be able to confidently:
Operate their Brother Scan N Cut machine, specifically its three core features which are, cutting, drawing and scanning.
Use all three versions of the companion software, Canvas Workspace.
Be able to create with the optional premium accessory packs.
Use a range of different substrates with your machine, including fabric.
Identify and assess other third-party software and accessories to further expand their creative skillset and toolbox.
Your goals may focus on one particular aspect of that list and that's Ok! Remember, there is no pressure from me for you to finish this course in any particular order or as quickly as possible. Simply start when you are ready, take it in your own time and learn what you need, when you need to.
Prepared in easy to follow bite-sized chunks this course will take you from the very beginning, on through the three main functions of the Brother Scan N Cut - cutting, drawing and scanning - and give you the confidence to get creative and do more with your machine.
No previous experience required! You can be a total beginner with your machine freshly delivered and you will still be able to follow along.
Not only that, but you can also watch anytime, anywhere! Watch and re-watch again and again - you have lifetime access to this course and if it gets updated, you will have access to the new content at no extra cost!
So, if you are ready to get creatively confident with your Brother Scan N Cut, simply enrol today!
