Note

•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.

Memo

•The mat does not have a top and bottom. It can be inserted into the feed slot from either end.

•Be sure that the vertical grain of the attached fabric runs straight up and down. The built-in patterns are automatically arranged suitable for fabric with vertical grain.

gFirmly attach all of the material to the mat so that there are no wrinkles and no part can curl off.

•Otherwise, curls in the material may become caught when the mat is inserted.

Peeling Off the Material (Lightweight Fabric for Any Use Other Than Quilt Piecing)

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 peel off the fabric together with the attached contact sheet.

•Do not place anything heated on the fabric attached with a contact sheet. Adhesive will permeate any other pieces of fabric around.

Attaching Fabrics With the Double-Sided

Adhesive

Place a cutout on a base fabric and apply pressure
on the top of the cutout using an iron. (The
contact sheet may not adhere well to some
fabrics.) Hand or machine stitch to ensure that the	1
cutout stays in place.

Note

•Do not wash fabrics attached together with a double-sided adhesive contact sheet.

•When attaching fabrics with the double-sided adhesive, iron carefully, being sure that the material and adhesive surfaces are properly heat-set.

•When attaching fabrics of different weights with the double-sided adhesive, first iron the lighter- weight fabric to affix the contact sheet.

Notice on Use of Contact Sheet

•Store the contact sheet at room temperature and in a location not exposed to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.
