We are going to discuss and practice how to convert PDF fie into a cutting file .fcm
There are lot of PDF patterns available on the market. Some of them are even Free of charge.
Why not to use them to create something with our ScanNCut machine?
I really like this Mannequin pincushion FREE pattern from

So, I did converted her free PDF pattern into a cutting file - .fcm
And cut all pieces out using my ScanNCut machine.
What is great about ScanNCut that now I can resize my pattern to whatever size I like!
I can shrink it or I can enlarge it :))
No more guessing about what % to set when I use a home scanner :)
