Note
If the width has been adjusted, turn the hand-
wheel 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 hav-
ing dust and scraps of thread build up on it.
• Add a small amount of oil as required to the
cutting edge of the cutter.
