MATERIALS: Brother ScanNCut machine; standard mat; standard and/or deep cut

ScanNCut blade; leather; pocket wallet patterns; sewing machine

and thread; leather sewing machine needle; text or design to scan in

and etch (or you can use the built-in ScanNCut designs)

Decide how you want to etch your leather.

PART 1: ETCHING THE LEATHER

Repeating pattern

step 2. Test etch settings for your leather.

Repeating pattern (continued)

Tip 2: Group the smaller sections, and duplicate as space allows. Rotate, resize and arrange until you are happy with your design

Scanned text

Tip 1: Scan drawn image or written text into your ScanNCut machine to create a vector file. Using the “Background Scan” feature, arrange the text by rotating and resizing until desired placement is achieved.

Note: You will find that different leathers respond to the difference in the standard blade vs. the deep cut blade. Test a small section of your leather until the desired effect is achieved. (You want to lightly score the top of the leather, not cutting too deep as to weaken the leather.)

place on leather.
