Use this mt when cutting fric. * Use the low tck dhesive mt with copy pper nd smooth pper. Since the stndrd mt hs high dhesive strength, mterils my remin stuck to the mt, cusing the mt to ecome unusle. Iron-on fric ppliqué contct sheet (white cking) (See pge 19) Reinforces the fric so tht vrious ptterns cn e cut out.

This is mt with low dhesive strength. It is suitle for copy pper nd smooth pper. High tck dhesive fric support sheet (See pge 21) For est results when cutting fric, ttch the high tck dhesive fric support sheet to the stndrd mt in order to increse the strength of the dhesive. Depending on the shpe, the pttern my not e clenly cut. Avoid using crft pper or fric covered with decortive lyer (tht cn esily seprte), such s lmé or foil. The seprte lyer my stick to the mchine s scnning device or feed rollers during opertion, resulting in dmge to the mchine. It my lso dmge the cutting lde. If such medi is used or tested it is recommended to clen the scnner glss t the ottom of the mchine fter every use (pge 79). Memo When using 12" 12" (305 mm 305 mm) mt, the mximum work re for cutting/drwing is 296 mm 298 mm (11 3/4" 11 3/4"). When using n optionl 12" 24" (305 mm 610 mm) mt, the mximum work re for cutting/drwing is 296 mm 603 mm (11 3/4" 23 3/4"). Some frics with uneven surfces cn e cut if turned upside down. 17
