•Place the material within the attaching area (grid area) on the adhesive side. If the material extends from the attaching area, it may be damaged by the feed rollers when the mat is fed.

Peeling Off the Material (Lightweight Paper) Follow the steps in adjusting the blade extension (page 18), installing the blade holder (page 19) and trial cutting (page 19) to set up your machine. After cutting the material, use a spatula to slowly peel off the paper.

Attaching the Material (Lightweight Fabric for Quilt Piecing)

Use the specially designed adhesive sheet to attach lightweight fabrics for quilt piecing to the standard mat. The high-tack adhesive fabric support sheet is perfect for quilt piecing since it will not leave adhesive on the surface of fabric. Support sheets can be repeatedly used unless they are peeled off the mat. They should only be used with patterns that have a seam allowance. When cutting patterns without a seam allowance, use the iron-on fabric appliqué contact sheet.
