The Future Of Affinity Has Arrived – And It Is A Little Underwhelming
The other day I wrote a blog post about the buzz surrounding changes at Affinity. Well, the wait is over. What was all the excitement about? A lot if you are part of the marketing team at Affinity.

How To Score Fold Lines with the Brother Scan N Cut
One drawback of Brother Scan N Cut machines (for some, at least) is that it doesn’t officially support the scoring of fold lines in papercraft projects. Instead we have had to rely on cutting dashed patterns, which some find unsightly.
