All,
I am currently making 200 Fighter Wing shields for our First Sergeant Fundraiser. Material is 1\4" thick and really didn't want tabs.
Getting creative, to attach to my sled, I took 2" blue painters tape to the center of the back of my project piece. Afterwards, I applied double-sided carpet/laminate tape to it, (found at Lowe's). Peeled the second backing off and then mounted into my sled.
Works perfectly! My small ornaments, 3.5" x 3.5" stay in place during the cutout process without moving at all.
Thought I would share, I have pics if anyone needs a visual.
Mike
