The thread cutter serves two purposes.
1. Cut the thread after threading the needle
2. Cut the thread after finishing a seam.
To cut the thread after completing your work
raise the presser foot.
Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the
left side of the face cover and cut using the
thread cutter.
The threads are cut at the proper length to
start the next seam.
