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.

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.
