Have been looking at this for some time only available from Create&Craft in UK for next 6 months £400 if member, seems cheaper in states, to buy from US would like to know if variable voltage US is 110, UK 240, but would love it,

Do not forget import duty if buying directly from the States so you could end up with a financial surprise. The company selling here have probably got a deal and therefore I would not be surprised if it then sold at a higher price. Let us know if you buy and from where

For 'financial surprise' I mean a hefty import duty bill which would exceed the cost of the ones being sold in the UK
7314I have got to have one of these. My birthday is next month and I am seriously dropping hints. Just think of the beautiful quilts I could make with this. Thank you for posting this link.
5335After this posting I caught up with the machine on a TV prog while away. Interesting but I have not added it to my wish list
114329I too looked at this.. I have a vinyl cutter, and with all my machines don't think I could convince hubby I need this too lol xx
20276Hi Sue
There is a yahoo group created just for this machine
SNCUsers@yahoo.com
I joined because I wanted to see what everyone was saying about the machine. I am torn between this one and the Silhouette Cameo. You may want to join and take a peek just to see what others who have bought the machine thing about it.

1494You've got me curious I'll have to take a closer look at this now...
45917I just bought one yesterday! Haven't had time to use it yet tho.
4384in Canada we have a simple one called go baby and i bought it but it don't scan but works well and can cut 6 layers at a time .This one is i believe the catalack lol
360423My Brother agent bought one for herself and she loves it for cutting fabric - I'm in Australia - I dunno what she paid for it though, I didn't ask. As I was in a hurry I didn't think to ask for a look at it either lol. xXx

95281Had a quick look. Looks very versatile. Thanks for sharing. Lyn

Alice - let us know what you think of it when you get it!!!! Thanks, Laura*
19430Ok !who ever buys this first I want(HA-HA) the poinsettia that was in projects.!! Looks great but another gadget to learn. I don't know!
15979Here is a link regarding the cutting files.
173580Yes, I posted well before Christams the same question. Be aware that there are 2 packages, one is much smaller the other, look for the big one.
173580When you look at it on Amazon, which is $387 USD with free shipping with Prime, there are also quite a few accessories: the mats, the knife, pens, pen holder. I wonder how expensive it is to use? How would we use it to compliment our embroidery? The price seems reasonable.
59617Have you looked the silhouette cameo - does all the brother can do fantastic machine and both machine the consumables cost a lot less. Also the cameo come with free design software. Worth looking into I think.

The Silhouette cameo is available in the U.K. I bought some cutting blades for mine in November.
566An excuse for a visit to the States for you, though could be a tad wet if you went in that great van of yours. Or just be patient and wait for it here
114329Can you put your own fabric in it to cut it, or do you have to buy their fabric? Do you put the fabric on a stabilizer sheet that is expensive?
by spendlove

Any fabric, but it may need stabiliser of some sort. The cutting mat is sticky and needs replacing fairly often.
59617Sorry, another question from me!!! In Embird - you can print your design (such as an applique) - I wonder if you can just scan that print and then cut from it? If it is as easy as that - wow, what a time savings it would be. Right now, I am working on Valentines that require a great deal of cutting!! What do you think?

You can to that, all you need is a print the correct size and you scan it in and it will cut it exactly as you need it.
95281I noticed Amazon has it for $389 in the US. What is nice about the Amazon site is they have many customer reviews and a bunch of questions and answers. I wonder if it would cut something as thick as felt? I hope someone here, who has one will give us some input on this machine!

I always look for reviews. It will cut felt, leather and vinyl. I think thin chipboard as well.
by fannyfurkin

it will cut leather apparently. not super thick leather but it will most certainly cut felt.
95281I am looking at this - go on Amazon and look at them there - they have a couple videos. I saw this at a studio and studied it a bit more....They are about $400 here. I also noticed that some of the big applique digitizers are putting svg. cut files in their designs when purchased so that it can be scanned and you can use and cut your pieces - really neat. This is my next purchase - I am sure.
44810Looks interesting sue, wonder what it will cost in the UK when available
57801Saw one yesterday at my sewing store. It can do tiny cuts in amazing detail - very accurate. Not ready to cough up the $500 on sale.
66515I had just bought a Silhouette when I saw it advertised - looks a bit more advanced then the Silhouette.
145191What does it do???

Cuts intricate shapes in paper, card, fabric and more. Unlike other cutting machines, you do not need to buy cartridges. You can scan anything and then cut it out. It can't make a cup of tea though.
253107I was at an Anita Goodesign show last week and saw it there (the dealer that sponsored the show is a Brother dealer - they have lots of brother machines, etc. at the show). It would be nice to have pre-cut applique fabrics for sure! It is amazing what it can do - just can't justify that much expense right now ($500 US). Will be interesting to see if any cuties own one and can share their thoughts.
