This worked for me!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Brilliant hack! Thanks very much. I have loads of cricut mats. I shall give this a try on them.

Fantastic tip. Thank you very much.

I have been using thIs hack for a year. !'m happy to see that you are the second brave person teaching this hack. I tried this hack with the first brave person to show it and it works all the time. With the clear mat that you are using you don't have to cut anything at the top because the scanner will pick up on the black square codes. You have to cut just a smidge if the mat used is a solid color because the square codes don't show through. I use both type of mats depending on the Amazon sale at any given time. I hope many see and try this hack. You will save a ton of money on the costly original mats by saving their longevity with the more affordable hack mats on top. Happy crafting!!!

Not only is this mat😮 issue extremely annoying and time consuming but the replacement mats are ridiculously expensive. I love my DX but I’m furious with Brother over this issue. Hello from Tasmania Australia 😊

Hi Anne, i did it with the clear mat on a scan mat i was'nt using - you just need the 3 sqaures at the top of the mat for it to load and now i have another cutting mat, thank you for brilliant video

Amazing thank you for this video - i must try this,

The scan n cut is a great machine but it's let down by it's mats. Why oh why don't Brother bring out a decent mat. Thank you for your video.

Its a shame that brother don't bring out a better quality mat in the first place.

Thanks so much Anne, was really easy and it worked. I’m off to do my scanning mat. Xx

Just found ur video absolutely awesome learned alot from it thankyou ❤

Fantastically cleaver. These mats are so expensive and this application can be done on a more economical cricket option it would bet. Thank you for sharing your brilliance!

Can I get a copy of the DX registry marks?

thank you so very much, this worked for me.

Thank you for this video

Hi Anne, I find myself in the same boat with a pristine scanning mat for the CM models and I just purchased a SDX125. I currently do not have a scanner. Would you be willing to share your file of the scan of the registration marks? I figured there would be no harm in asking. Thanks for providing such useful information.

Thank you. Have just received my SDX1200 - upgrade from an original CM600, and with your help, I was up and running within about half an hour. Including making the little project that came with the machine.

I can't believe this actually worked! I couldn't get my scanner/copier to scan it fully at a diagonal. I ended up copying it from 0-6inches then from 6 - 12 inches and cut and pasted together to make the marks. I used temporary glue to test and when it worked, I permanently glued it down. It was a brand new mat that wouldn't read. Thank you, Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the easiest way yet! Unfortunately, I have a tremor and it makes everything that little bit harder (2nd time of writing this because I accidentally deleted it, aka tremor). I desperately needed a scanning mat as my tacky mats were too marked for scanning and I needed it yesterday, so having found your video I photocopied the DX lighter tack mat (less registration points) onto copier paper. cut it out as straight as I could (turned out not to be that straight, aka tremor). Lined it up against my CM900 scanning mat and realised I could see right through it which meant that I could line it up precisely with the black arrow and the top of the mat and didn't really need to do anything else except glue it down and viola, it worked, even with a somewhat wavy cut line. What I did forget however, was to add the extra bit at the bottom (as per your next video) 😄 Sorted now though. Thank you again.

where do i find the top header of these mats lol. i am having roller issues and It sucks. pretty down on the scan n cut.

Really good demo on how to cut the vinyl and apply. Thank you. Just one question though, why do they sell the optional vinyl blade kit? Yours seemed to cut very well with your auto blade.

Exciting. Looks like you got lots of extra goodies. Which shop in France did you order from please?

Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Hola, excelente vídeo me ha salvado mucho, una pregunta entre los archivos de la CM hay el de tamaño grande ? Gracias de antemano.

I also have all sorts of mats for the CM series, including both size scanning mats. I haven't worked on the 12x24 mat yet, but on the 12x12, the only thing needed to recognize the mat is the arrow and the top 4 squares - 3 on the left of the arrow and 1 on the right. I noticed this after looking at images of the mat on Google. I cut mine out of vinyl, and also covered the black wide area on top, but I'm not sure if the latter is necessary. Thanks for your idea!!

Very clever. Thank you for sharing.

Is it the same one for the 24x12 because mine doesn't recognize it

Hi I got the brother sdx1200 as a birthday gift yesterday and I find your videos so helpful thank you

great vid, i ordered a sdx225 and had it shipped,i also purchased 12x24 scanning mat,I get the machine hooked up ,it displayed mat not reconized,,well to make a looong storey short,the mat turned out to be for a cm series scan n cut,,so not compatible,also it has round registration dots on top.so I copied 1 of my tacky mats,taped paper to top,and it loaded..but it would only scan 12x12, I see the 12x24 scan mats have 4 or 5 square dots on top.

dear lady, you have saved me some precious money with this little hack! thank you very much for sharing

Excellent tutorial!!

what is the free adobe plugin that you mention in the beginning of your video?

Please have completely new machine and mats and is still now working properly help help

I have new machine and is still not loading properly, help please

Im so happy I bought this machine. This is so cool. I had no idea about this until now. It's over! Hello from Norco California

Thank you SO MUCH for this, Anne! :) I'm not sure if you have a Hobby Lobby where you are, but they do sell very inexpensive mats that are Cricut and Silhouette compatible (sometimes on sale - two mats for $20!) - I wonder if this trick would work on mats that are NOT Scan N Cut original mats - Any of my American friends try this on such?

Thank you for this video. I will try this out.

Excellent video Anne!

Just a thought on copying top and bottom of mat if you do not have a large printer, you can probably get copies ready cut by getting an old u/s mat cut off top and bottom to include registrations tack them vertically to a good mat and run through your machine using draw tools and pens to reproduce copies for use on old mats, great video thank you.

Great tip but I wish we didn’t have to monkey around with stuff like this!

Thank you!

Thanks for the idea. I copied a picture of the 24 inch mat header code, as I purchased the wrong mat also, and used my Scan N Cut SDX 125 to draw it out on paper. I taped the made up header code over the wrong header code on my 12 x 24 mat but I could not get it to work doing all sorts of picture mods. I had aligned the code with the measurement bar at the top of the grid but didn't really notice that the wrongly purchased 12 x 24 mat had a slightly longer plastic top. I just didn't realize that the machine sees the very top of the mat first then the code after. After I cut the plastic excess on top It then loaded into the machine just fine. I used it to draw and it did just fine. But when I went to cut the design, I had made, the machine could not get the test depth right due to the taped on paper header top being slightly thicker. What I think I will do for this is remove the original printing at the top with some very fine sandpaper and print on the new code with a felt pen right on the plastic top.

I want you to make an audio book.. have you ever decided?

What thickness card did you use for the copy and the bottom of the mat?

Your voice is sooo radio!!! Weather first then get an Agent. So news for ex-pats sooo wonderful your voice !!!!! So tell me this... 'The bay of Bisscay as high pressure has gone to Africa at 32 degrees. The Pillars of Herculese is just a tepid 20 degrees.. within this upper Majorca and the lower Minorca should expecce shronger winds but no water surge in this 24 hour period.

It's me again... why aren't you on Radio..? Such a lovely voice...read a book to others.. they will love that... look into this.. your voice is what we look for.

Grazie😍

Anne, I just bought one. Thanks for your help. I'd much rather share a small glass of wine with you on your French porch and share that wonderful sunlight and listen to your voice. I think that your voice is so much better than this machine. I could listen to your voice for an eternity. Have you ever thought of Radio voice over work? (o:

I love your mandala 🥰 Thank you for The tutorial, now i feel confident to use mine foil quill
