I love my Husqvarna viking Designer 1. It has a thread cutter, but it has a whole lot of other stitches too. It not only embroiders but sews button holes, decorative stitches, heirloom stitches, applique stitches, quilting stitches, etc, etc. It has a touch screen. It also has the sensor foot, where when you stop sewing and the needle is in the down position, the foot lifts up slightly so you can move the fabric or do whatever you need to do. It also can be operatated without a foot pedal just by pressing the stop/go button. I am sure there are other options that I am forgetting, but those are a few of the highlights. I have had it for about 6 years and haven't had any problems with it at all. I know there is a newer version of the machine and I am sure that model has many more options than mine does. Good luck, try many models before settling.
