Since posting about the Artspira app last week more information has popped up, including a surprise “new” Scan N Cut model to sit alongside last year’s US release.

Recently Brother announced a new mobile app called Artspira that will allow you to create, edit and transfer designs directly to your Scan N Cut machine.

Now, your ability to access this will depend on a few things so let me drum things down to some well organised Q and A.

When you think of a font that you use with your computer, you would likely think of those installable collections of characters that you can then select from a drop-down menu in your software and type away with your swishy new text style.

These are known as either .TTF (True Type Font) or .OTF (Open Type Font).

But what are single line fonts, where do we find them and how do we use them?

This week I took a look through some of the available options for adding foiled detail with your Brother Scan N Cut. The official kit isn’t the only option so it’s worth a look if you want to explore this feature…

A chunkier how-to idea for you this week looking at just one way of using Kraftex (vegan leather) to create an adjustable double-layered cuff.

I talk a lot about Canvas Workspace however all models of the Scan N Cut have their own built-in editing tools.

This video will show you just some of the creative power that you have available in SDX models.
