Brother ScanNCut SDX125E
The ScanNCut SDX125E is a standalone cutting machine with a built-in 600 DPI scanner and an Auto Blade that reads material thickness and sets itself. It cuts fabric, felt, foam and cardstock up to 3mm thick, and arrives with 682 designs already on board.

Scan and cut in one step
The 600 DPI built-in scanner reads a hand-drawn sketch or a printed design and turns it into a cut file, up to 11.7 inches wide. Scan-to-cut detection handles outlines, filled regions and thin lines, and the Auto Blade sets itself to the material rather than asking you to pick a setting.

A 5 inch touchscreen, and no computer needed
The SDX125E works on its own. Designs are chosen, edited and cut from the 5 inch LCD touchscreen straight out of the box. When you would rather design on a PC or tablet, it connects wirelessly to Brother CanvasWorkspace, and there is a direct USB connection as well.
Built for quilters, not just paper crafts
A built-in seam allowance setting is the feature that separates this from a craft cutter. It cuts fabric, felt and foam up to 3mm thick with the included Auto Blade, which makes it practical for quilt piecing and garment work. The optional Thin Fabric Auto Blade handles raw-edge applique.
682 designs in the box, and room for longer cuts
There are 682 built-in designs, including 100 quilt patterns, plus 76 bonus SVG files, so it is usable before you have sourced a single outside file. With the optional roll feeder, cutting extends to 12 x 70.2 inches for banners and long runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the Brother ScanNCut SDX125E cut?
Fabric, felt, foam, cardstock and paper up to 0.1 in. (3 mm) thick using the included Auto Blade. The optional Vinyl Auto Blade adds adhesive vinyl, and the optional Thin Fabric Auto Blade handles delicate fabric and raw-edge applique.
Do I need a computer to use the SDX125E?
No. It is a standalone machine with a 5 in. LCD touchscreen, so designs are selected, edited and cut on the machine itself. If you prefer to design elsewhere, it connects wirelessly to Brother CanvasWorkspace, and a direct USB connection is also available.
What does Auto Blade Technology actually do?
The Auto Blade reads the thickness of the material and adjusts itself. You do not set a blade depth or pick a material profile before cutting, which is the step that most often produces a cut that is too shallow or goes through the mat.
How many designs are built in?
The SDX125E has 682 built-in designs on the machine, including 100 quilt patterns and 9 lettering fonts, so it cuts from its own library straight out of the box. A further 76 bonus SVG files and several seasonal collections are available through CanvasWorkspace for web.
What can the built-in scanner be used for?
The 600 DPI scanner converts a hand-drawn or printed image into a cut file, scanning up to 11.7 in. wide. It detects outlines, filled regions and thin lines, so a sketch on paper can become a repeatable cut pattern.
What warranty comes with the SDX125E?
Brother covers it for 1 year on parts and labor and 2 years on electronic components and printed circuit boards. Quality Sewing adds a 1-Year Quality Sewing Warranty. Compare the rest of the Brother ScanNCut lineup.
