Brother CM100DM operation manual Medium Weight Fabric for Any Use Other Than Quilt Piecing

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.
