Does the automatic cutter cuts the thread close to the fabric or does it leave tail?

It cuts close to the fabric. There aren't dangling threads left. I think it does a great job, and I use it all the time.

Yes, if you cut it off the weft you can use it for braiding. It would probably shed less using it for braiding instead of for a sew-in like I did.

The cut is determined by the cutting guard. the closest cut would be with out any guard.

I don't know the answer to that honestly. It will cut vinyl with the right cutting blade. But I have a feeling it won't cut fabrics. I also have not seen it advertised by cricut at all. Sorry

Yes you just have to cut it. I really like mine it helps keep my trunck clean.

There is a roller guide the blade travels through to help keep it straight. No problems with shorter cuts but if you rip a long piece it doesn't work as well. A sharp blade and edge guide helps. This saw is better than any I had before. It does keep a 90 degree angle and doesn't drift due to the blade bending.

It is, and it works quite well. Thank goodness too, my poor cutting jobs tend to leave me with jagged edges that catch fabric.

Are you following the directions exactly? Before starting to stitch, cut the seam allowance of your fabric at least 1/2 inch to give the side cutter a place to start. Also, you need to watch the weight of your fabric - this is not a serger-type of system that will cut any weight of fabric.

I work at a clothing manufacturers and we use this everyday for straight cuts through 5-10 layers of fabric. So, it's actually not heavy handed for fabric cutting and other versions intended specifically for that purpose run about twice as much.

Yes! I iron a slightly larger area than I need to the fabric I will be adhering, then cut the shape I want. Then you remove the paper backing and iron the cut fabric on to the backing fabric. Stitch around the edges and voila! I have heard of many people using this product with a Cricut machine, and it does dull those blades. I am not familiar with die-cutting machines.

Not as good as the one I use for my other sewing machine. The other one has a piece that goes below the foot that stops the fabric from going past 1/4 inch.

Not sure. I have only used the straight one . Guess it's for when you can't get to the back of the material so the curved needle brings the thread back to the front for locking instead of the back.

It has one strand of about 1/8" plastic. One thing on mine, the automatic feed does not work. I have to open it and unwind it but it is easy. It probably works better with a pre-wound spool. I may not wind it correctly.

I don't remember for sure, but I think mine had a little loose 'tail' sticking out. But...you don't need that. You can just loosen a piece with your fingers and cut...it doesn't really make a difference, except that you may end up with a short piece eventually.

I did not use it with long size pieces such as curtains, only with small pieces and I did not find it very easy to handle, you've got to sew at very slow speed on your machine. Hope it helps. Cheers

This is a left hand thread. It loosens opposite of normal. If that doesn't work you'll have to cut it off.

No you don't cut it, it's just makes it a bit more flexible so it doesn't get broken, which happens a lot with other R/Cs. You pull the excess from the bottom of the car.
