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.
Note
• If the mat is dirty, clean it. For details, see
“Cleaning the Mat” on page 89.
Peeling Off the Material (Paper)
After cutting the material, use a spatula to slowly
peel off the paper.

• When peeling off the material, insert the spatula
as level as possible into the space between the
material and mat. Strongly rubbing the adhesive

Attaching Fabric Material (Excluding
Quilt Piecing)
Iron the specially designed contact sheet to the
back of fabrics (excluding quilt piecing) and then
attach them to the standard tack adhesive 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. For details on using
fabric for quilt piecing, see “Fabric (for Quilt
Piecing)” on page 20.
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.
