Note
•
Do not discard the protective sheet peeled off
the mat; save it for later use.
•
To maintain the adhesive strength, attach the
protective sheet to the adhesive side of the mat
after use.
•
When the mat is not being used, clean the
adhesive side and affix the protective sheet
before storing it. For details, see “Cleaning the
Mat” on page 53.

With the glossy side of the high tack adhesive
fabric support sheet facing down, attach it to
the mat’s adhesive side.
Slowly attach the support sheet from its edges so that
no air is trapped between the mat and the sheet.

Test attaching the material.
Before attaching the material to the mat, use a corner
of the adhesive side of the mat to test attaching it. If
any problems occur when testing attaching, use
different material.
e
From its edges, attach the material to the
adhesive side of the mat so that there are no
wrinkles in the material.
To remove wrinkles be sure to iron the fabric before
attaching it to the mat.
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.
• When drawing a seam allowance, attach the
fabric to the mat with its wrong side facing up.
