1) Fabric
\\
2) Heat transfer Vinyl
\\

**Step 2 : Cut the fabric through the laser cutter machine.**
\\
\\
 Before cutting, you have to know your material. Some materials should not be cut on the laser cutter. Therefore, if the material is okay, cut the cloth on its proper size for the laser cutter.

The measurement of chair cover can be seen on the above. (You can use a already shaped file)
Make sure that the power is at 1%, and speed is at 100%.

 When you sew the cloth, ensure a curved movement along the edge.
\\
\\
**Step 4 : Next, sew the bottom clearly.**

\\


Before you use the vinyl cutter, you have to learn how to use the machine. Since we are using the vinyl, make sure to reverse the logo. The width size is 9’’, and the height auto-adjust if you check the ‘keep proportions’ box.

\\
**Step 6 : Get rid of the extra material with exception of the logo.**
\\
\\

Carefully put the vinyl on the cover at the back. Next, use the iron to stick the logo onto the cover, finally remove the transparent part.
