Does this machine have an automatic thread cutter? The description says it does but when I look at the pics of the machine I don't see it.

There are 3 inset razor blades for thread cutting, one located on the left side of the machine, above the needle area, where you can pull your finished piece to trim threads, one located on the bobbin winder, used to trim the end of the bobbin thread, and one inset on the floor of the machine used to trim the thread that you use to load the bobbin.

no. it does not. it is a "cover stitch machine". Janome makes a very nice 5 thread serger that makes a 2 thread chain stitch while sergin. but if you want a proper three thread cover stitch, and a proper 3 thread serged edge at the same time, your only options are the BabyLock Evolution/Ovation models.

Mine did. The directions were terrible and the machine wasn't labeled. I believe they fixed that. If not you can download a great manual online from a distributor in Canada. Nice machine for the money over all.

I'm sorry I thought it was for another model. So the answer is YES it has the autocutter feature. Sorry about the confusion.

Yes it did. My daughter and I figured this must be a quality control check the company does before boxing the machine. Very good idea, they know the machine is working properly. Happy sewing!

The one included in my order is a 'table model' with apprx. 1/4 inch (perhaps) machine threads. Hope this helps you. JA

It does not have an automatic cutter. Perforated labels are manually tore off after printing.

Not quite fully automatic. Once it's done kneading the dough you must remove the dough block slide. Then you have to cut the pasta to the desired length as it's extruded. This machine works VERY well!

I've never had a machine with automatic tension. I've never noticed a need for this feature. This is a very good, basic machine. It will last for years and years. I am very happy with it.

Yes. Your machine should have an accessory pack that includes a plastic attachment that keeps the spool of thread on. If you don't have one, you can take a piece of styrofoam and push it through the thread post to hold the spool on.

No, it is an industrial straight stitch machine. No frills. I use it for home decor sewing (pillow covers, window treatments, shower curtains, and tablecloths).

Mine did the same thing. It made a grinding sound and would never go back into the start position. I called support...everything, they couldn't/wouldn't help. They were going to give me a small credit to buy another one. I declined since this one had broke within a year. I decided that since it was broke anyway and I couldn't use it, that before it made 'in position' beeps to start, I would manually move the cutter all the way over into the start position(while it was making the grinding noise). There is a trigger in the start position that tells the machine that it is ready to start. I did this SEVERAL times with no success. Machine was useless. Then I tried again and I must have had the right timing. It has worked ever since...no grinding noise. It's all about timing and I don't guarrantee my fix will work for you. I figured the machine was a waste anyway, so I might as well try it (even though in my mind I figured I would break the gears by doing this. Didn't matter...it didn't work). If you are ready to write it off or throw it out the window...give it a try.

manually, but this is one of the easiest 5 thread servers that does thread manually. It is a workhorse.

No it does not, that I can see. Good machine however you really need to fiddle with it as manual is not precise.

It does. I wouldn't buy this machine for even for free of charge. Its high wear and tear parts are made of plastic won't last long.
