Customize Your Sewing and Crafts with Brother ScanNCut DX SDX85

November 24, 2020 by Anne Weaver

Customize Your Sewing and Crafts with Brother ScanNCut DX SDX85

If you’re wondering what Santa should bring you this year, how about a new cutting machine?

Brother International Corporation announces the newest addition to their ScanNCut line – the DX SDX85.  What makes the ScanNCut unique is that it’s the only cutting machine with a built-in scanner, allowing you to scan in your own drawings and then easily have the machine cut them from fabric, paper, or other materials up to 3mm thick.

Use the ScanNCut to customize your sewing and craft projects! For example, this applique sweatshirt is super cute and perfect to wear on the cool winter days.  The leopoard print applique is made from a printed leather for added dimension and interest.

Or this winter scarf is super cute!  The scarf is easy to sew, and then you can personalize it with a heat transfer vinyl design.

And for paper crafting, this Christmas wreath is absolutely gorgeous!  There is no way I’d be able to cut all those shapes by hand, but the ScanNCut can do that part for you.
