Interesting that the auto thread cutter saves you thread. I guess that makes sense. But I use a leader/ender and rarely cut my thread (mostly when I need to re-sew a partial seam due to a mistake or change the bobbin). But everyone has different ways of getting to the same result.
As I said, I’ve never had this, so don’t miss it. Of course, when I bought my first TV, I couldn’t understand why someone would pay $30 extra for the optional remote control and I used to be perfectly happy cranking down my car windows!
