I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. And let me tell you how thrilled I was to be able to use this!! I had heard of machines like this before but was not able to purchase one. This Brother ScanNCut machine is sooo cool! I am a beginner and will say it can be a bit overwhelming so if you know anyone who kinds what they are doing, they can be helpful! There is so much you can do with this and my "Want to Do" list just keeps growing and growing. It comes with all your basic accessories for it and I was able to figure out all on my own how to set it up. It does take some learning and patience but once you figure it all out, its a great machine.
