Overview

Scan it, cut it, and create it quickly, quietly and without fuss with the SDX1250. As the world’s only cutting machines with a built-in scanner, Brother’s ScanNCut DX machines allow you to scan images and then precisely cut the shapes or outlines, with no need for design cartridges or a PC. SDX1250 is one of the most sophisticated models in the line-up and includes the new Rotary Blade Kit, a fantastic tool for cutting a wide range of textiles (felt, organza, jersey, lace, plus more). You’ll be able to cut curved and intricate designs with minimal fraying and without the need for stabiliser.

MyConnection enables direct transfer to and from compatible sewing machines so you can easily cut applique pieces and include these directly into you sewing projects or share your favourite sewing design for drawing or embossing with ScanNCut.
