I need help with my ScanNCut
I purchased my ScanNCut primarily for applique using fusibles. I am using my regular mat with the fusible ironed to the fabric touching the mat. I have used Steam a Seam lite and regular and Wonder Under. I am having trouble -after cutting when I remove my applique pieces sometimes the fusible sticks to the fabric and sometimes to the mat.
Yesterday the wonder under stuck to one fabric and stuck to the mat on a different fabric. Could it be the finish on the fabric?
I spent an hour today cleaning the fusible off of my mat!!! Not fun.
if you are successful, please tell me what the secret is. Thanks in advance.

From what you say, the fusible is not sticking to your fabric? It could be the finish, or have you possibly applied it back to front? I did this with the steam a seam and wondered why I had problems, good luck I hope you get it sorted.

Place the fabric side down on your mat with fusible on top facing you - this should eliminate your issues in the future. Also, check Brother's website for scan n cut tutorials plus youtube offers many video tips. You will love your machine once you master the procedures.

I hope you figure it out because I'm considering the purchase, with all fusible you should wash and iron no starch your fabric first.

I've had trouble with the paper side of the fusible sticking to the mat too. I use the little spatula that came with the Scan N Cut to get it off. I asked the girl that demo'd the machine about putting the fabric side on the mat and she said no but I think I may try it. I use unscented baby wipes to clean my mat. I watched a video on youtube on how to get your mat sticky again after several cleanings...

Mind you, this was on the regular mat, not the extra sticky fabric mat.
