Hitomi Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I have been pulling up the bobbin thread and cutting my threads. I have not used the cutter on my Millie for months, maybe a year or so. I tried to use it the other day and it does not cut the thread. I took it apart and cleaned the debri, but it still does not cut the bobbin thread. Any suggestions to get it to cut? Do I need to change the blade or something?

ffq-lar Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Loosen the blades a bit with the tiny screws. The thread must be carried between the blades by the puller arm in order to cut it. Watch to see if when activated the arm goes between the blades or misses and goes over the blades. Good luck!

semedo2000 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hitomi Just curious why did you decide to use it? I never use mine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hitomi, I sent you an email with a technical document attached that will help you correctly adjust the cutter and the blades. Let me know if you need more help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnCavanaugh Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi Beth, Just adding a bit more clarification just in case Linda's solution doesn't do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineseams Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I never use the thread cutter on my machine. It doesn't work reliably. Also, even if it works, it leaves a short thread tail that needs to be trimmed after the quilt is removed from the machine. My solution to quickly and easily cutting threads was to buy an extensible lanyard and a pair of Superior Threads excellent snips. I keep my snips around my neck at all times when quilting, and even when sewing on my DSM. I never have to fumble for scissors, never roll my scissors up in the quilt top, and I always know that my threads are neatly cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
