With the perfect blend of a delicate grip and increased strength of durability the FabricGrip Mat secures your fabric and resists the cutting force of the Rotary Blade. This specialty mat is made from higher-density higher-quality PVC to withstand increased cutting pressure. Its adhesive grip keeps fabrics in place for precise cuts and easy release. Use it to cut silk canvas burlap cotton and more. Place fabric on the mat and press to smooth down and secure. If adhesive is weakened use brayer rolling pin or other tube-shaped object to help secure material. For best results use the Cricut Applicator & Remover Set for quick and easy material application and to remove tiny cuts and threads. Replace your cutting mat when needed and use protective sheet to keep clean when not in use.
