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.

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.

Spacer
1 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.
