SINGER H74 - Manual (Page 63)

5
This foot is used to trim excess material while sewing.
1. Attach the Side Cutter, making sure the cutter's "arm" fits around the needle bar thumb screw.
Tighten the thumb screw, securing the foot.
2. Slowly turn the handwheel towards you; the needle should go over the stitch finger on the foot.
If the needle is hitting the metal stitch finger or metal side, then widen or narrow the stitch width.
Never use a straight stitch.
3. Cut a 1/2" wide by 1"deep notch at the top edge of your fabric.
4. Place the fabric OVER the first metal platform and then UNDER the second metal platform. If the
foot is not cutting, it is usually because the material is not placed OVER the first metal platform.
5. Sew slowly and gently guide the fabric. The Side Cutter Foot works best if no more than 1/2" is
being trimmed.

SIDE CUTTER
This foot includes built-in rollers to help feed difficult-to-sew fabrics such as leather, suede and
vinyl.
1. Manually lead the thread from the needle through the opening of the foot, and then slip the
thread under and behind the foot.
2. Use double-faced (basting) tape to hold the fabric pieces together for sewing, which will prevent
either layer from slipping.
3. Place fabric under the presser foot. Lower the presser foot and sew.

STRAIGHT STITCH FOOT
This foot is used when sewing lightweight fabrics, such as chiffon and silk. It will help prevent the
fabric from being pulled into the needle plate opening.
1. Verify that the needle will line up with the opening of the foot before starting to sew.
2. Sew slowly and guide the layers.
