The thread cutter is automatic, on a button, so at the end of a seam both threads are cut and you are ready for the next one. Pivoting is automatic too and one of our absolute favorite features on any sewing machine: stop with the needle down and the presser foot lifts slightly so you can turn the fabric, which on applique and on anything with corners makes decorative stitches flow much more easily. You'll also love pivot when chain piecing. The needle goes down, the foot lifts up slightly automatically and you just slip the next fabrics in for piecing.
