ENGLISH INSTALLING THE CUTWORK NEEDLES INSTALLING THE CUTWORK NEEDLES About the Cutwork Needles The four cutwork needles (multi-needle machine needles No. 1 through No. 4 with blades in different orientations) can be installed to cut fabric automatically. Each needle has a blade at a different fixed angle. The machine uses the needle at the angle appropriate for the orientation of the cutting line. Be sure to install the needles at their specified positions. 12 3 Installing the Needle Plate Spacer 1 Installing the spacer prevents the fabric that is being cut out from getting caught in the machine's needle plate while creating cutwork. Before installing a cutwork needle, install the spacer. Memo • Once the needle plate spacer has been installed, leave it installed. With the spacer still installed, you can continue to perform all embroidering functions including cutwork. 1 The needle is marked with a specific number, depending on the blade angle. Install the needle so that this number is in the same position as the machine's needle bar number. 2 The needle is marked with a specific color, depending on the blade angle. This, together with the needle number, allows the cutwork needle type to be identified. 3 Each needle has a blade at a different angle (in 45° increments), and the machine cuts the fabric with the blade at the angle appropriate for the orientation of the cutting line. Note • The machine will automatically change needles when cutting around a desired shape. a Turn off the embroidery machine. b Remove the needle plate, and then open the hook cover.
