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?!?

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.

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.
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.
