Cut the fabric other than quilt pieces.
(How to use the Iron-On Fabric Appliqué Contact Sheet.)
Iron the specially designed contact sheet to the back of fabrics for any use other than quilt piecing, and then attach them to the standard 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 appliqu contact sheet.
How to use the high tack adhesive fabric support sheet for details, see “Cut a thin fabric for the quilt piece”.
(1) Pattern to be cut |
Be sure to first 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.

With the iron on a medium temperature setting (140 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.

Before peeling off the backing, allow all parts to cool.
After cutting the material, use a spatula to peel off the fabric together with the attached contact sheet.

Do not place anything heated on the fabric attached with a contact sheet. Adhesive will permeate any other pieces of fabric around.
