About You

The focus of this course is the project, rather than the technology and so it is likely that you’ve used your Scan N Cut machine for basic cuts and have dabbled in the companion software, Canvas Workspace, but you are looking for a way to bring this all together and build your creative confidence with a fun-to-make project.

If you need any basic tuition for either the Brother Scan N Cut or Canvas Workspace, please do check out my other courses – Cut, Draw and Scan with Confidence or Mastering Canvas Workspace – which are both also available on this website.
