Can't send ETC from MyEtherWallet using MetaMask wallet

Question

I'm using Metamask with MEW. I sent 1.14 ETC to the address. I also sent some ETH for gas to the same address as seen below.

But when I go to MetaMask Chrome Ext, it only shows ETH. When I go to MEW to send ETC, I see the ETC in the same address, as seen below

It all goes well on MEW's end, as seen below

After I hit the "make transaction" button, MetaMask window pops up as seen below

And it reads "insufficient balance for transaction" because going back to the beginning of the post, Metamask wallet thinks I'm trying to send 1.14 ETH??? I don't know what to do at this point. Any help is desperately needed. Thank you

Ok. I figured it out. Here's a "how to" in case someone else is in my shoes... Go to Metamask and enter your password

Click on the 3 dots. Choose export private key.

You can click on it and it automatically copies it and/or you can also download the private key for backup purposes.

Go to Myetherwallet.com and click on send ether and tokens

Choose Private key and paste the key you copied from MetaMask.

Unlock your wallet

Now you should be able to see your balance in the wallet. Since we're trying to send ETC, make sure you have the ETC network selected.

The rest is the usual procedure to send currencies... I believe the problem is you can't choose the correct network in MetaMask wallet.
