Awesome Video. Thanks for creating this video sharing the comparison each types of cutters. VERY FEW videos on social media referring to fabric cutters, most based on vinyl. There are millions of sewers would love to find better ways to cut their fabrics and content creators missing the opportunity for this category.
Very informative. I bought the cricut maker for quilting but was disappointed because of the limited shapes. A friend suggested the Brother Scan N Cut, which I would like for you to do a review video I found this machine to be far more superior to the maker, Juliet and silhouette machines as you can work on and offline. As for quilting, it has a vast amount of shapes, for free. It is quiet and the later models have auto depth detector. I cut shapes out of leather to make wallets and all were cut well. Blade availability is great as well as mats. It is also a scanner for you to upload your own designs. There is software for web based use and regular computer. Hope this helps you decide on moving forward with a video. Blessings. 🙂
Curious why you didn’t talk about the brother scan n cut? It has a rotary blade plus it can scan pictures to create cutting patterns. And while I haven’t tried this, I understand it integrates nicely with brother embroidery and sewing machines.
For this video, I only wanted to only talk about machines with similar cutting force. The Brother has less cutting force. However the Brother cutting force is comparable to the Singer Momento.
@@ThimbleBook even the newer models with the auto blade? It seems that (imo, tho I haven’t compared specs) that it cuts the same materials, even wood and thick leather) as any of the other cutters on the market. Curious what metric you’re referring to so I can go look it up in the product specs. Thanks!
I don't give opinions only what I know about the product. It is ideal for applique, cutting stickers, or making cards because of the scanner. But, this isn't the machine for you if you want to cut thicker materials and the replacement blades are quite pricey. If those things don't bother you, you'll be good with a Scan N Cut. Thanks for watching.
I'm "getting up there" as my daughter would say. However before RU-vid University and Google were a thing, clothing designer Angela Wolf recommended the Scan-n-Cut for the purpose of cutting fabric. She had a weekly show on ksproductionstv, I think. Anyway, she made really designs using it even prior to Brother coming out with the knife blade or rotary cutter for the scan-n-cut. I own two now (original and updated version). Blades are cheap because it's not as popular as cricket (assuming here). Anyway, my last purchase for blades were from Joanns - little less than $2 each. I bought 20 so I don't know the current price. Anyway, you can find some of Angelo Wolf's old videos on RU-vid. The show was called It's Sew Easy. They are still nice.
I’m thinking about whether a book press or a leather clicker/press,, used with die cutters would be an option…. Like for cutting a lot of fabric in basic shapes or have dies custom made in patterns that I use a lot. Would love to know your thoughts on this.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each cutting method. But, you have to select the option that is best for you. Personally, i use an arbor press with dies for cutting out things like charming creek channel has.
