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.
