I've never seen a YouTube video where it takes an irregular shape & makes it 1/4" larger. I've only see videos & descriptions of it adding 1/4" to the piecing shapes. I've been looking at the Scan & Cut, too (and also the Klick N Kut) & like that it draws the 1/4" seam allowance on there, but I just wonder how that Add a Quarter function would work with some of the appliques I've done (e.g., spirals) where simply adding a 1/4" around the outline of the applique would overlap other sections of the piece.
Does anyone have any experience with using the Add a Quarter function on irregular shapes, especially ones that aren't already programmed in?

I have the Scan & Cut and have taught classes for both paper (beginning class to learn the machine) and than a fabric class. The class went away with applique cuts for a mug rug that I digitized and cut blocks for two nine patch quilt blocks. I use mine all the time for all my applique, especially those for ITH embroidery quilt blocks. With the update, I can actually take an embroidery design and load it into the machine without actually scanning it. There are multiple methods of using the machine and I love it.
