With the glossy side of the contact sheet facing
down, place it on the wrong side of the fabric.
Be sure first to iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles.
Before placing the contact sheet on the fabric, make
sure that the fabric has been allowed to cool after
ironing.

Evenly iron the entire contact sheet to affix it to
the wrong side of the fabric.
With the iron on a medium temperature setting
(140 °C to 160 °C (284 °F to 320 °F)), press each part
of the sheet for about 20 seconds (the length of time
differs depending on the material).
Be sure to apply pressure on the top of the backing
and push out any air between the sheet and fabric.

Note
• Before attaching the contact sheet to the fabric,
use a piece of the sheet to test attaching it. If
any problems occur when testing attaching,
use different material.
• Leaving the iron in the same place for too long
may scorch or melt the material.

With the side of the fabric that the contact
sheet is attached to facing down, attach the
material to the mat from its edges.
Slowly attach the material from its edges so that no air
is trapped between it and 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.
g
Firmly 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.
