When sewing with regular thread and you get to the end of the seam, just push the button and it takes both the top and bottom thread to the underside and clips them off at 1/2". You can lift the presser foot and start a new seam without pulling out any more thread, it will start sewing just fine. I absolutely don't know how I lived without it. Not only is it so convenient but it saves so much thread.
