Sewing with the Side Cutter
The side cutter is an attachment that will trim the excess fabric while sewing.
A Zigzag-type stitch must be used.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Zigzag
Pattern Selector: B
Stitch Width: 5
Stitch Length: 1-2
Presser Foot: Side Cutter*
Needle Position: Center
Materials:
(2) 5” x 4” pieces of wool type fabric

Procedure:
Cut a 1” x 1” notch in the fabric.
The cutter’s blades “cut” before the needle stitches. Be sure to position
the fabric under the needle before beginning to sew.
Place the fabric OVER the first metal platform and UNDER the second
metal platform. If the cutter is not cutting, it is usually due to the fabric
not being placed OVER the first platform.
Turn the hand-wheel to ensure the the needle does not hit the stitch
finger. The stitch width may need to be adjusted.
*The Side Cutter is optional. Check with your SINGER® Retailer.
