Peeling Off the Material (Lightweight Fabric for 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 slowly peel off just the fabric. Try not to peel off the support sheet.

Note

•The support sheet may be unintentionally peeled off while you are removing the fabric from the mat under the following conditions:

-The adhesive between the mat and support sheet is becoming weak after repeated uses.

-The support sheet tends to be strongly attached to a certain types of fabrics.

In this case, use the included spatula to hold the support sheet on the mat and remove the fabric using your hand.

•After cutting, carefully remove any fibers remaining on the support sheet.

•When attaching fabric with an iron-on sheet attached or paper to the mat, cleanly peel off the support sheet from the mat, or attach the material to a different standard mat without a support sheet attached.

•Do not leave material attached to a mat with a support sheet attached for a long period of time; otherwise, the adhesive will permeate the material.

Notice on Use of Support Sheet

•When the sheet’s adhesive strength decreases or fabric becomes twisted while being cut, replace the sheet with a new one.

•When peeling the sheet off the mat or replacing the sheet, use the spatula to carefully remove the old sheet.

•Store the mat in between uses with the protective sheet affixed to the support sheet.

• If a mat with a support sheet attached is not to
be used for a certain length of time, peel the
support sheet off the mat and affix the
protective sheet on the adhesive side of the mat
before storing it.
• Do not reuse a support sheet that has been
attached to the mat.
• Attach a stabilizer to fabric when not using a	1
support sheet for cutting.

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

•Do not bend the support sheet to store it.

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

Iron the specially designed contact sheet to the back of fabrics for any use other than quilt piecing, and then attach them to the standard mat.

The double-faced adhesive type of the iron-on fabric appliqué contact sheet reinforces the fabric and enables any pattern to be cut easily, including appliqués.

The sheet cannot be removed once it has been attached to the back of fabrics. For quilt piecing, use the high-tack adhesive fabric support sheet and avoid using the iron-on fabric appliqué contact sheet.

Note

•The contact sheet may not adhere to a fabric surface that is so rough that the two surfaces cannot be heat-set to adhere to each other.
