How to use our optional Solid Score Lines
Depending on which cutting machine and software you're using, you may be interested in our solid score lines. They're optional and can be found in our projects' Extras folders.
Dashed Score Lines
First of all... dashed score lines.
All of our projects are compatible with a wide variety of cutting machines, so by default, all of our score lines are dashed lines. These are meant to be cut with your machine's blade. Some popular cutting machines don't have the ability to "score."

How Do You Cut SVG Files with a Brother ScanNCut Machine?
We aren't "affiliated" with Brother, however, we regularly get e-mails from people asking how to cut SVG files with their Brother ScanNCut machine.
So, let's break it down! :)
The New ScanNCut Machine
The new Brother ScanNCut2 machine DOES cut SVG files directly, so all you need to do is load them onto your machine and cut. The original Brother ScanNCut machine does not allow you to plug your computer directly into it. Nor does it accept SVG files for cutting. This creates ...
"What kind of glue should I use?"

You can really use just about any paper you’d like for projects, although paper that’s about “80 lb” is ideal. This works out to about 216 gsm paper (metric system).
Paper that’s a bit lighter weight or a ...
