Make sure you close the throttle valve to maximise the vacuum power.
Step by Step
Laser cutting jute fabric
Step 1: Jute fabric
Create your own design or import our ready made template. Send it to the laser using the following settings:
Process mode
Resolution
Cut line
Standard
500 dpi
None
Halftone
Others
Colour
Optimised geometries inner geometries first
Laser engraving jute fabric
Step 2: Laser processing the jute fabric
Create the parameter settings - these will differ depending on your laser machine and its available laser power.
Tip: Iron the jute before engraving. You get better results if the material is very flat.

Laser engraving the fusible interfacing
Step 3: Fusible interfacing
As with the jute fabric create your design or use our ready made template. Send it to the laser using the following settings:
Process mode
Resolution
Cut line
Standard
333 dpi
None
Halftone

Laser processing the fusible interfacing
Step 4: Laser processing Fusible interfacing
As before create the laser parameters which will differ depending on laser machine and available laser power.
Tip: When laser engraving make sure that you are processing the front of the material, as this is non-sticky.

Finishing: Assembling the mat by adding laser processed jute fabric
Step 5: Finishing
To complete your vintage style mat, fix the fusible interfacing onto the jute fabric. This can be done with either an iron or a press. Position the lace design on the jute and press or iron it.
Important: Put a piece of fabric on the interfacing before you iron or press it, as this prevents the material from eventually sticking on the hot surface.
For a more country themed design, remove single jute threads and create fringes.
