These simple strips increase the efficiency of production work. The Mat-Saver Strips are inserted into the rails to provide an easy method for positioning the cutting guide while making repetitive cuts. Adjusting the location of the starting points between sets of cuts allows you to cut in different places on the mat, increasing the life of the cutting mat. Six unmarked Mat-Saver Strips come with your QuiltCut Pro, three semi-transparent colors and two sizes, 27″ and 36″. We also include a dry-erase pen for you to mark the strips, according to your needs.
Begin by making a mark near one end to use as a starting point. Then mark each measurement depending upon what you are cutting. Label the strip for each use. When lining up your fabric to cut, use the rulers on the rail or use the Mat-Saver Strips to align the cutting guide.
How They Work
Slide the Mat-Saver Strip into a rail slot. It slides over the rulers within the slot.
Align the cutting guide with the marks on the Mat-Saver Strip and cut. When done cutting remove these pieces from the mat. Before your next set of cuts pull the fabric on to the QuiltCut Pro and slide the Mat-Saver Strip slightly to the left or right, thus extending the life of yout cutting mat.
