HuskyLock 430
Hi All,
Does anyone know whether the cutting blade can be moved out of the way or removed so that the overlocker does not cut the fabric as I overlock?!? ------------------------------------- H*E*L*P P*L*E*A*S*E ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.sewgirls.com/ Sewing Community of the Net Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - rec.crafts.textiles.sewing - 3766 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## |

Holley had written this in response to
http://www.sewgirls.com/textiles/Hus...-430-4046-.htm : Yes, You can push in and flip the blade up (toward you) out of the way. The machine will sew that way, but you'll get a neater finish if you let the trimming blade do its job. cwest wrote: Hi All, Does anyone know whether the cutting blade can be moved out of the way or removed so that the overlocker does not cut the fabric as I overlock?!? ------------------------------------- H*E*L*P P*L*E*A*S*E ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.sewgirls.com/ Sewing Community of the Net Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - rec.crafts.textiles.sewing - 3766 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## ------------------------------------- Holley ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.sewgirls.com/ Sewing Community of the Net Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - rec.crafts.textiles.sewing - 3769 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## |

There are some processes where you don't want cutting at all - such as blind hemming and decorative work in the middle of something. For this you do need to turn the blade up out of the way. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

The nature of the beast is that it should be in place and you should be cutting just a little for ordinary 3 or 4 thread overlocking. In some applications you *need* to be able to remove the blade. For instance, if I want to finish a line of serging "in the round" I do *not* want to cut the previously laid down stitching, so I get back around to the starting point, move the blade away, continue stitching another inch to overlap the start, pull the needle thread out about an inch so I can move the garment out of the stitching path, and chain off. I just have to remember to move the blade back into cutting position before starting the next item. Beverly |
