A cutting mat framed in a device camera for AI calibration

AI Calibration

Use your device’s camera to detect and calibrate your cutting mat automatically.

Step 1

Choose your mat spacing

Choose the grid spacing printed on your cutting mat: 1 centimeter, 1/2 inch, or 1 inch.

Step 2

Position the cutting mat

Place the mat inside the projection area outlined by IntelliSew. Adjust the projector’s height and position so the mat is centered and the projection covers the area you plan to use.

Step 3

Frame and capture the mat

Point your device’s camera toward the cutting mat and position it so the entire mat is visible. Hold your device still, then select Capture. Continue holding it steady while IntelliSew processes the image.

Step 4

Review the preview

Check the initial calibration preview. It only needs to be close at this stage; you will correct small alignment errors in the next steps.

Step 5

Adjust the calibration size

Use the on-screen controls to move the bottom-left corner so it roughly matches your physical mat, then repeat for the top-right corner.

Step 6

Refine the corners

Check all four corners on the refine calibration screen. Select and nudge any corner that is slightly out of alignment.

Step 7

Finish

When the projected grid aligns with your cutting mat, hold the return button to exit. IntelliSew saves the calibration, so you do not need to repeat it each time you use the app.
