I’m sharing another project I created using the Brother™ ScanNCut with you today! This shirt was definitely one of my favorites to make. I was amazed at how easy it was, because the ScanNCut did all the work.
Of course the fact that I used sweet “Efan’s” profile made it pretty special too! :)
Of course I had to experiment with other materials, shapes and words!
See more ScanNCut tutorials here and here — and learn more about it here!
What do you think? Inspired to go make some tshirts and onesies?
{I think there should be a rule that you never watch a video after you’ve edited it — ack! It’s a learning experience, and let’s hope I get better at these as I continue!}

This is a little long, but it is an involved program! If you’re looking to be able to digitize your own design—whether from a clip art, sketch, picture, or from just about anything, the Brother PE Design 8.0 is definitely a place to look. I upgraded from the 6.0 to the 8.0, and it is much more user friendly. There is also an upgrade on the Brother website to tweak a little bit of the program that just downloads for free. Small things that make it nice: We can now adjust the size of the working area and get bigger than 4×4 inch area, and it has an option which allows you to adjust the background color to try and get an idea of what your embroidery will look on a different color fabric. Bigger things: It is easier to manipulate the stitches to get the desired effect, and more accurate while embroidering. More options for the type of stitch—satin, fill, undersewing or not, and how much undersewing, and a huge variety of fill and custom stitches for just about any look you can imagine (and probably some you couldn’t!). It also has some wonderful options for shapes already in the program. Also, this program will help to eliminate stitching on top of stitching, if you’re combining different shapes, or designs. Some of the manual is on the disk that goes beyond the paper book that came with the program. The manual itself seems a little hard to read in places, or to find answers if you have exact questions, and I feel it could have been organized a little differently (better), but once you read through it (or skim) it is easier to get where you want to go. This is worth the money if you plan on using it. As with anything, the more you use, and experiment with this, the easier it is to sit down when it comes down to crunch time, and get the job done. I love mine, and would highly recommend it to anyone that’s looking to purchase a program to be able to digitize their own designs, or even just to customize their embroidery.
