DesignNCut, Home Electronic Cutting Machine By Brother, DC200

This machine can be used with a PC/MAC- go to http://sbrother/caqaa. With iPAD- IOS go to the app store and if you have an Android go to Google Play and type in the that website for the one you need to get set up. You can also hook up the scan n Cut to your pc buy using a USB CABLE.( NOT INCLUDED) Once you set up from your tablet or computer you can make the design , then send it to your Scan-n- Cut Machine to do the work. It comes with all the tools you need to get started. The cutting matt comes in a variety of different strengths in tackiness .This came with a weaker strength,it says standard, but I find it not tacky enough. I recommend a stronger tacky matt. because if your matt does not hold that paper down while its cutting, your paper or card stock will move and you will not be able to do the project. Remember to check the Cutting blade by twisting it to adjust to the paper you're using. all the directions are easy to follow. How ever you choose to set up your device to this machine, the rest is easy to do. You have great directions and that website above. It comes with guilds on how to adjust the blade and use the matts. it can be used for cutting cloth, card stock scrapbook paper, Vellum, poster board , fabrics and magnet paper. As long as you have the correct matt and cutter, you will want to make all kinds of projects

I was very excited about receiving the Brother DesignNCut DC200. I was also very nervous. I became even more overwhelmed once I started viewing tutorials. I bought some black vinyl and decided to jump right in. I read the safety precautions first. It took me a few days to figure out the DesignNCut is the upgraded version of ScanNCut. It does NOT come with a USB cable but I had one for my Brother sewing machine. Our internet connection is terrible so the USB connection is a working option for me. I wanted this product mainly for vinyl production of letters, sayings, etc. and for stencils. I may use it later along with my Brother sewing/embroidery machine. There are so many things one can make with this machine. I will be spending more money as I purchase accessories such as different colors of vinyl, weeding tools, blades but am looking forward to the personalized gifts I will be able to make. Love it! Take your time and enjoy! My first project was making labels for my canisters and the word Family with a heart for my wall. I do wish our local Walmart carried more of the accessories.
