I have one on my Brother. Yes, I do use. On occasion when
I have it in the up position (by using the button) I give it just
a tinsy turn of the wheel if it didn't do it the first time that seems
to do it. I'm a little spoiled having it now, but the best feture
is the needle down and cutting the thread with a push of the
button. Sure saves time, picking up those sissors every time.
