■ Fabric (for Quilt Piecing)
Attaching the Material Using a High
Tack Adhesive Fabric Support Sheet
When attaching fabrics for quilt piecing, attach
the high tack adhesive fabric support sheet to the
standard tack adhesive mat to use it. These sheets
should only be used with patterns that have a
seam allowance. The high tack adhesive fabric
support sheet can be repeatedly used until their
adhesive strength has decreased. (Once the
support sheet has been peeled off the mat, it can
no longer be used.)

a Peel off the protective sheet from the adhesive
side of the standard tack adhesive mat.
b 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 entire surface of the support sheet
from its edges while pressing out any air with a ruler,
etc., so that no air is trapped between the mat and the
sheet.

Note
• Place the support sheet within the attaching
area (grid area) on the adhesive side of the mat.
If the sheet extends from the attaching area, it
may be damaged by the feed rollers when the
mat is fed.
c Peel off the backing from the top of the support
sheet.

d Test attaching the material.
Before attaching the material to the mat, use a corner
of the adhesive side of the mat to test attach it. If any
problems occur when test attaching, the adhesive
strength of the mat is too high for the material. 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.
Be sure to first iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles.
Memo
• 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.
• When drawing a seam allowance, attach the
fabric to the mat with its wrong side facing up.
