Does it actually have automatic thread cutter where I just press a button? Brother is falsely advertising this feature, there is no scissor button.

If it has one I haven't been able to find it. My manual doesn't mention it?

No, No button. That would be illegal. It opens by itself after you put pressure on the blade. "Spring assisted opening"

I don't know if all brothers are the same so make sure you check with your manual to confirm. On my machine I have to take off the presser foot and unscrew and take off the presser foot holder. The quilting foot fits to the left side facing out where the longest part of the eyelet is horizontal. Then just screw it in to tighten. To make sure your threads lock pull your working thread through the quilting foot, top to bottom.

The button, I'm assuming its the one on the handle, is something you hold down. It took me a while to figure it out but now that I figured it out it does anything I need it to do. I normally hold it down and then get closer to the metal I'm cutting.

it does. Perfect for long straight cuts. I switched away from this unit because the bar you press to hold the paper down does not have any markings. If you want to start and stop a cut for example a slit in a piece of paper you do not have the markings other than what is on the board no quarter inch ,1/8 etc. I use stampin up trimmer or smaller notebook insert from fiskers trimmer with these markings.

The machine doesn't not print. You create on the make the cuts program and print normally from your printer then Do a print and cut on the machine

I don't see one on the box, but I know Brother's warranty is 90 days from purchase so you do not want to overstock this item. I did that once and by the time I was ready to put the replacement in, which turned out to be bad... VERY odd for Brother, they told me the warranty on it had expired. I could not get them to replace it even though I told them I had just put it in service. Luckily, the original seller, who I do business with & is a very large Brother seller, took it back for an exchange and will "fight my battle" with Brother.

None that I know of. But, it's not that important to me. I suggest you contact Brother tech support.

I dont think the trigger has a "lock On" feature. thats for saftey reasons. you have this long cord your dragging around... if now you had the cutters just running.. while you were not holding the trigger.. bingo... cut cord, cut something, cut stuff. I think they are getting away from they feature. sorry.

The buttons lock to only one selection at a time.. You press the one you want, the other button "pops out" and your selected button "pops in." Works great and with no power attached !!!! Nice product! -Roy M

Does your machine have a snap on foot? I used it on my Elna and it was fine. I don't know the Brother machine..

I just purchased this machine and one of the selling points was the needle threader! I have NEVER been able to use a threader on any machine I've owned. I tried it in the store and the first time it threaded like a charm! And it has worked ever since. I LOVE the needle threader on my Juki!

yes and no. It's not actually a button, but a portion of the blade that is like a hammer on a pistol. All you have to do it hold it in one hand and use your index finger to pull that trigger back, and the blade will open automatically. A friend of mine just lost 2 fingers in a lawnmower accident and he can open this knife with his good hand only. I hope this was helpful to you.

thank you for your reply. This was exact the same issue I had. The brother customer service rep. helped me through the procedure you have outlined above. Your post will be helpful if it happens again. Thanks

John,How do get the trim line to come out of your trimmer's head? Mine requires me to pull the trigger 20 times each time I want to advance it or I have to do it manually.

Nope. It is simple and easy to thread it yourself though. It accepts any type of thread within reason.

Like others, I've only bought the Brother version, so I can't vouch for the aftermarket ones. Brother version works just fine, and since I don't do heavy printing with it, the price difference isn't important.
