    Final Product: What You Will Create

    Preface:

    Store purchased linen placemats make this a great beginner tutorial for those new cutting machine owners that are looking for a fun and easy project. Basic knowledge of a cutting machine and how to weed design cut vinyl for a decal is required. This tutorial focuses on how to size the SVG design for the application area of your placemat and mirror image before cutting design onto the vinyl. Heat transfer vinyl needs to be mirrored so that the cut design is facing right side up when applied. Time stated for this tutorial is for one placemat. Make additional placemats to complete a set of four or for as many needed.



    Step 1:

    Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning

Design for this tutorial was resized 3” x 4.5” Bring SVG design into your cutting machine’s program design space. Cut and resize design based on your measurement of your placemat application area. Mirror image. Refer to your cutting machine’s instruction manual if needed.
