Note
If the width has been adjusted, turn the handwheel by
hand to check that the needle does not touch the side
cutter. If the needle touches the side cutter, it might
cause the needle to break.
Memo
• The fabric will not be cut if the whole fabric is simply
spread out underneath the presser foot guide plate.
Set the fabric as explained in step
f
from the
previous section, and then start sewing.
• One layer of 13 oz. denim can be cut.
• Clean the side cutter after use to avoid having dust
and scraps of thread build up on it.
• Add a small amount of oil as required to the cutting
edge of the cutter.
