Dear Lia and everyone on the team, thanks for all the great projects as well as skills courses. Just to share my experience with another cutting machine: the rotary blade on the Brother ScanNCut DX worked pretty well on my first project cutting crepe paper (extra fine and double sided so far). Of course, I’m only getting started and I do not have the comparison with any other machine, but it seems there is no need to despair, if one does have the Brother. This I’m very happy about, maybe someone else will be too 🙂
