I received the Scan N Cut embossing kit today and couldn't wait to try it out. I'm disappointed. I first tried line embossing card stock because that's what I use the most and what I wanted to use the kit for. The "de-boss" side is fine on all weights of card stock that I tried, but the "emboss" side is not good on any weight. I believe the embossing mat will wear out quickly, but I will not purchase another Brother one because of the price. I'll try something else and tape down the card stock (it's just padding).
The region embossing feature is very complicated and time-consuming. I'm retired and have the time, but others may not. I created a butterfly template from the included patterns. The embossed side was okay on foil card stock and Michael's shimmer paper, but again, the de-bossed side was better. The one sheet of template plastic included in the kit will not go far, so I'll try to find something locally to make my templates. My Scan N Cut will not cut quilting template plastic with the regular blade, so I know I won't be using that. I did discover that the plastic needs to be tinted like the one provided (or maybe the paper needs to be colored--didn't try that) for the machine to accurately scan the pattern. I did multiple embossing passes on both types of embossing, which did help.
I did not try embossing on the metal sheets included, because I didn't want to waste them on something I didn't want/need.
Bottom line, I do not believe the kit is worth the price. It's not even worth the discounted price I paid (I had a $15 Amazon coupon).
