AUTOMATIC THREAD CUTTING

If you set programmed automatic thread cutting
prior to sewing, the machine will automatically
trim the thread when the pattern has been
completed. (Reinforcement stitches are used at
the start and finish of the pattern.)

1. Select the stitch pattern.

2. Touch the automatic thread cutting key.

Automatic thread cutting and the automatic
reinforcement stitch must be used together.

Automatic thread cutting is convenient for use
on buttonholes, bar tacking and other areas.
