And occasionally the top thread immediately unthreads itself past the needle when I start stitching again after using the thread cutter, and I have to rethread the top thread, pull it out to a long length and hold it anyway when I start stitching. And that really bugs me. In the end, the thread cutter doesn't thrill me the way I thought it would. Only use it for paper piecing--then it's great.
