Attaching the Cutter Attach the Cutter, making sure the cutter's "arm" fits around the needle bar thumb screw. The "arm" is the long metal piece on the Cutter, which moves up and down. Thigthen the thumbscrew, securing the Cutter. Slowly turn the hand wheel; the needle should go over the stitch finger on the Cutter. If the needle is hitting the metal stitch finger then widen the stitch width. If the needle is hitting the metal sides then reduce the stitch width. Never use a straight stitch. Sewing Instructions 1. Cut a 1x1-inch notch at top edge of your fabric. This is necessary because the cutter's blade cuts prior to the needle stitching and it is best for the machine to have material under the needle while sewing. 2. Place the material OVER the first metal platform and then UNDER the Second metal platform. If the Cutter is not cutting, it is usually due to the material not being placed OVER the first platform. 3. Sew slowly and gently guide the material. The Cutter works best if approximately no more than 1 inch is being trimmed away.
