Knife on/off
For a better overview and better access in the sewing area, e.g. for threading, the knife can be lowered (off)
and then engaged again (on). The knife is also lowered if the sewing project already has a clean cut edge
and the edge is only to be finished. The best sewing results are achieved by cutting and finishing in one
single step.
