Selecting the Mat Appropriate for the Material
Refer to the following table and the “Reference Table of Mat and Material Combinations” on page 14 for the
appropriate mat and sheet for fabric cutting according to the material to be used for cutting or drawing.
Depending on the machine model, some accessories listed in the chart may not be included. In that case, they
must be purchased separately.
FIRST STEPS
Mat
Sheet for fabric cutting
Use one of the following sheets
when cutting fabric.
Standard tack
adhesive mat
Our standard tack adhesive mat has a
high adhesive strength for use with
cutting.
*
Use the low tack adhesive mat with
copy paper and smooth paper.
Since the standard tack adhesive
mat has a high adhesive strength,
materials may remain stuck to the
mat, causing the mat to become
unusable.
Iron-on fabric
appliqué
contact sheet
(white backing)
(See page 17)
•
Reinforces the fabric so that various
patterns can be cut out.
•
Original texture may change
because it remains attached to the
back of fabric.
*
For use with the standard tack
adhesive mat.
*
Do not place fabric backed with
iron-on contact sheet directly onto a
mat with high tack fabric support
sheet.
Low tack
adhesive mat
Low adhesive mat; suitable for copy
paper and smooth paper.
High tack
adhesive fabric
support sheet
(See page 20)
•
For best results when cutting fabric,
attach the high tack adhesive fabric
support sheet to the standard tack
adhesive mat in order to increase
the strength of the adhesive.
•
Depending on the shape, the pattern
may not be cleanly cut.
