Description
The Fit-N-Frame Border Guide has
been designed to provide an easy and
accurate method for sizing the mat
board and positioning the image into
square and rectangle picture frames.
The Fit-N-Frame Border Guide has
two uses. First, use the Fit-N-Frame
Border Guide to accurately size your
mat board to fit into any square or
rectangle frame (Up To a 24” x 28” /
61cm x 71cm frame). Second, quickly
center your artwork within the mat for
perfect borders on every side. No
cumbersome math or fractions!
Simply use the enclosed rule and
border guide for a perfect custom fit.

Sizing the Mat Board to the Frame
Step 1 - Loosen the adjustment knobs on both the
alignment triangles and slide triangle A into
the lower left hand corner of the frame taking
care to make sure the edges of the alignment
triangle fit snuggly into the corner of the
frame. Tighten knob until secure (do not over
tighten). (Fig. 3).
Step 2 - Slide Triangle B into the upper right hand
corner of the frame making sure that it also
fits snuggly into place. Tighten knob until

Sizing the Mat Board to the Frame (continued)
Step 3 – Remove the sizing tool from the frame
making sure the position of each
Triangle does not change. Place Fit-N-
Frame Border Guide on the back of the
mat board by aligning Triangle A with
the bottom left hand corner of the
board. (Fig. 5)
(NOTE – THE MAT BOARD MUST BE
SQUARE OR YOUR FINISHED MAT MAY
NOT FIT PROPERLY).
Step 4 – Next draw a line within the two short
recesses of Triangle B. These lines
are the outside dimensions of the
mat. (Fig. 5)
Step 5 – Using your Logan Mat Cutter and the
Logan 701 Straight Cutter, cut the mat
board on the lines drawn in Step 4.
(Fig. 6)
You should now have a piece of sized mat board that
fits perfectly into the back of the frame to be used.

Centering the Image
Step 1 – Loosen the adjustment knobs on both
the alignment triangles and slide
Triangle A into the lower left hand
corner of the image to be framed and
tighten knob. (Fig. 7)
(* Note: You are working on the image
surface so make sure that your hands
and the tool are free of any dirt that
could be deposited onto the image).
Step 2 – Slide Triangle B to the upper right hand
corner of the image and tighten knob.
Place both Triangles so that the
corners rest where you would like the
mat board to begin. Anything inside of
the two Triangles will be exposed.
Step 3 – Working from the back of your mat
board place the Border Guide in the
upper right hand corner of the board.
Border Guide has a built in 90 degree
edge that will locate the Border Guide
onto the corner of the Mat Board
ensuring accuracy. (Fig. 8)
(*Note make sure that you are
orienting the frame, board and image
in the same direction).

Centering the Image (continued)
Step 4 – Place the Fit-N-Frame Border Guide on
the board and align Triangle A with the
lower left hand corner. The upper right
Triangle B now rests on top of the
Border Grid.
Step 5 – For the left and right borders on your
mat board, trace the vertical edge of
Triangle B to the scale along the top of
the Border Guide. Write down this
measurement. (Fig.9)
Step 6 – For the top and bottom borders trace
the horizontal edge of Triangle B to the
scale on the right side of the Border
Guide. Write down this measurement.
*Note the scale on the Border Guide
is 1”=1/2”. Simply read the scale
measurements as they are indicated
on the Border Guide. (Fig. 10)
Step 7 – Set up your Logan Mat Cutter to the
measurements recorded. First cut the
left and right borders. Re-set the mat
cutter to the second measurement (top
& bottom ) and cut the top and bottom
borders.
Congratulations! Your mat board should now fit
perfectly into your frame and the opening for the
image should be perfectly centered in the picture.

Helpful Hints and Extras
With certain types of images you may want more of
the original material to show. Or, you may want
unequal amounts of spacing around the image. This
can be done by placing Triangle A on the bottom cor-
ner of the image and using a line on Triangle B . These
spacer lines are divided in 1/4” = 1/8” (6mm = 3mm)
increments. Follow the steps in Centering the Image
above except instead of aligning the outside edge of
Triangle B with the image, align the appropriate
spacer line with the image. Now complete the steps
as directed. This will give you the effect of adding
more or less border as desired around the image.
(Fig. 11)
If you want to do double matting (2 or more mat
boards stacked in small steps), you would size two
mats as described in STEP 1, Sizing the Mat Board to
the Frame on Page 2. You then measure the second
mat exactly the same way, except that you would
choose one of the spacer lines on Triangle B. Cut the
opening in the second mat first as you would when
centering the image in the mat. (Fig. 12)
Now you need to cut the top/face mat using the out-
side edge of Triangle B measurements, without mov-
ing the triangle and write down the measurements
from the Border Grid using the outside edges of the
Triangle B. (Fig. 13)
This would then automatically create an additional
border width half the size of the line space you chose
on Triangle B. When the 2 mats are placed in the
frame you have a perfect “double”!
