Tie-off function and automatic thread cutter

Simply press the tie-off button at the end of the seam. Next, the automatic thread cutter button, the threads are cut
and your seam is finished! You want it even faster? Program these functions for your foot controller with kick-back function-

Dual Feed for even fabric feed and convenient needle threading
The easy-to-engage, integrated Dual Feed
 makes sure that all kinds of materials are evenly fed from above and below. It's excellent
for sewing several layers or smooth and fine materials- no more slipping of layers or puckering of seams. With the semi-automatic needle threader 
threading is a breeze- the presser foot is automatically lowered to the correct position
and the additional thread cutter holds the thread
in place for you. The 
knee lever for raising or lowering the presser foot will make your sewing even more comfortable, as your hands are free to guide the fabric.
