Raise the presser foot lever to check that the 
side cutter is securely attached.

5

Pass the upper thread under the side cutter, 
and then pull it out toward the rear of the 
sewing machine.

6

Select a stitch.

• For details, refer to “ Selecting stitching”  

(page 58).

Make a cut of about 2 cm (1/16 inch) long in 
the fabric at the beginning of the stitching.

2 cm (1/16 inch)

• If the fabric is not positioned correctly, the 

fabric will not be cut.

A seam allowance is cut while the stitching 
is sewn.

• If the stitching is sewn in a straight line, the 

seam allowance will be about 5 mm 
(3/16 inch).

5 mm (3/16 inch)

Memo

The side cutter can cut as much as one layer 
of 13-oz. denim.

After using the side cutter, clean it by 
removing any lint or dust.

If the side cutter can no longer cut fabric, 
use a rag to apply a small amount of oil to 
the cutting edge of the cutter.

If the thread cassette is to be installed 
with the side cutter attached, be sure to 
lower the presser foot lever. If the 
presser foot lever remains raised, the 
needle threader will hit the presser foot, 
which may result in damages.

After adjusting the stitch width, slowly 
turn the balance wheel toward you and 
check that the needle does not touch the 
presser foot. If the needle hits the presser 
foot, the needle may bend or break.
