FAQs
Can I use this mat for cardstock or vinyl?
This mat is specifically formulated for fabric. For paper or vinyl, you should use the StandardGrip or LightGrip mats.
How do I clean the mat?
Remove loose threads with a scraper or the Cricut Remover tool. Avoid using harsh chemicals or washing the mat with soap.
What machines are compatible with this mat?
The FabricGrip Mat is compatible with all Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore series machines.
Do I need a special blade for fabric?
Yes, for best results with fabric on this mat, use the Cricut Rotary Blade or the Bonded-Fabric Blade.
Why is the mat pink?
The color coding is a system used by Cricut to help users identify the specific adhesive strength of each mat; pink represents the FabricGrip line.
Does the mat come with a cover?
Yes, the mat includes a clear protective sheet that should be replaced after every use to protect the adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Fabric is shifting during the cutting process
Ensure the fabric is pressed firmly onto the mat using an applicator tool and verify the mat is free of lint or debris.
Cutting edges appear ragged
Check your rotary blade for dullness; fabric cuts require a sharp blade to prevent pulling the fibers.
Mat surface is losing its grip
Use a lint-free tool to gently remove debris and ensure you are using the protective cover to keep the surface clean between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FabricGrip Mat, follow these maintenance practices: Always use the included protective plastic sheet when the mat is not in use to prevent dust, lint, and pet hair from adhering to the surface. Avoid touching the sticky area with your fingers, as natural oils will degrade the adhesive over time. If the mat loses some tack, you can use the Cricut Applicator & Remover Set to clear away tiny loose threads and debris. This mat is fully compatible with any Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore model and is calibrated for the machine's standard loading process.
