Scan N Cut Mats

First let me say, I love my SNC! With that said when I first got my SNC there was some tears, screams, hair pulling and more! I had to walk away from my SNC a few times. After some hard work and doing a lot of reading, plus the lost of a few mats (may they RIP) my SNC and I got along. So please don't give up and NO its not you!

The first things, first. I had to learn what accessories I have and what they do. I started with the mats.





 
  • Low Tack Adhesive Mat: Specially designed for delicate or thin PAPER like printer paper or vellum
  • Standard Mat Adhesive Mat : Specially designed for a wide range of materials from FABRICS to handmade papers
  • Middle Tack Adhesive Mat: The adhesive strength is between the Low Tack Adhesive Mat and Standard Mat. Specially designed for various types of paper (thickness ranging from 0.1mm - .3mm
  • Photo Scanning Mat: Specially designed for scanning delicate materials such as photos and precious documents. Do not use for cutting.
Also
  • High Tack Adhesive Fabric Support Sheet: Designed for multiple uses (depending on fabric type). Use with Standard Mat for cutting (not included). For cutting patterns without seam allowance, use Iron-On Fabric Applique Contact Sheet (not included). Apply sheet with adhesive area on the mat.
 After I put my High Tack Support sheet on my Standard Mat I found it was too sticky for light  quilting fabric. It would fray the edges when I tried to remove the fabric.So I bought another Standard Mat increased my starch and use the Standard Mat for lighter quilt fabric.

Happy Quilting
