CUTTING WIDTH

The proper cutting width differs with the type of fabric. Check the seams each time, and adjust the

cutting width as follows.

1. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needles are at the lowest position.

2. Open the front cover and free arm.

3. Turn the cutting width adjustment knob until the looper threads lie along the edge of the fabric.

Adjust to a narrower cutting width if the fabric edges curl when sewing. Turn the cutting width

adjustment knob to the right.

Adjust to a wider cutting width if the thread loops off the edge of the fabric. Turn the cutting width

adjustment knob to the left.
