Brother ScanNCut SDX85 Electronic DIY Cutting Machine with Scanner, Make Vinyl Wall Art, Appliques, Homemade Cards and More with 251 Included Patterns,White/Green

After years of using a paper punch to cut round labels, i battled with adhesive gumming up the punch and the hassle of hunting down odd sizes so I ponied up the dough and splurged on this. I considered a cricut but the idea of paying for their software when i don't need it was nuts. Afterall, i have my designs printed and i just need a machine to find the edges & cut them out. Simple, right?I chose this base model since i don't need all the extra designs and features. Turns out this model has a ton of features...many of which i don't need but some that I didn't realize i needed but makes my life easier, like the "half cut" mode so it only cuts the label and not the backing.Anyway, once i got the cut pressure perfect, labeling became a fun job instead of an oppressive task.For those of us out there that run a small business and do it all ourselves, this machine is a lifesaver

Finally I can make and cut the style of stencils without cutting myself. The price was ok but the extra mats are too expensive. But I am thinking about buying another machine in the future.

I love that this machine doesn't need the Internet to work or even a wireless connection. This first tutorial that comes in the package was too easy as the unit is sturdy and heavier than I thought it would be. The triangle is cut out was perfect without any fraying.

Makes cutting out tedious projects a breeze!

After watching a few videos online, I did my first project after a few minutes. It scans and cuts amazing. I plan on use this for appliqué embroidery designs and can't wait to do that. Great product!

I had an older version that just gave out on me. I like this new one. Very good price, and the green color doesn't mean much to me. It was the cheapest of all the colors, which was kind of idiotic if you ask me. Now what do I do with my almost new Mat? You can't use them in the new machine. What was the reason for that?? But I do use the old blade and holder. I really don't care for the Automatic one. I threw it away.

If you're creating live love and laugh post cards you're probably fine. If you make stickers with more than 3 colors, RUN. Sure you'll scan, but there's a 75% chance it wont show up in the cloud because their cloud transfers fail so incredibly often, it's like they don't even try.If you think this is automated like they claim, think again. The scanning is trash, you will always need to go back in and use their terribly antiquated software to try and repair their scan borders. Their support told me to go search YouTube and watch it so I can fix my issue.Maybe it's fine for simply printing templates included in the box, but for any advanced use you'll see it fall down right away. Zero stars if I could.

I have only used the scan and cut feature so far it is working perfectly. There are many other features I have not explored yet. My primary reason for purchase is to cut out stamped images and not buy the metal dues. Looks like it will work great.
