NOTES:

The auto thread cutter will work well with normal sewing threads #30 or finer.

Use the thread cutter on the face plate to cut the specialized or thick threads if the auto thread cutter does not work well.

When starting the next seam, pull the needle thread to pick the bobbin thread up and draw them to the back and under the foot.

Clean the auto thread cutter mechanism regularly to avoid malfunction due to built up lint. (See page 70.)

Avoid using a paper spool when it begins to empty since it will not unwind smoothly. It may cause the thread to bunch or slip when using the auto thread cutter.
