Thread-cutting mechanism for eyelet-button hole sewing machine

A thread-cutting mechanism for an eyelet-buttonhole sewing machine comprising a moving blade and a stationary blade;

• a plate with an aperture for the needle to pass through while producing a stitch, said plate having a groove, said moving blade traveling back and forth in said groove for cutting a thread;
• said plate having at least a top and a bottom;
• said moving blade being entirely located within said plate between said top and said bottom of said plate;
• said stationary blade being part of said top;
• the thread being cutable directly at a workpiece for leaving only substantially short ends of the thread at the finished workpiece;
• said thread being in a specific position for being directly cut when the thread passes through said aperture;
• a thread clamping member located within said plate for clamping and wiping said thread, said thread being pushed below said clamping member by said moving blade while said thread is being cut, when sewing a new buttonhole, said thread clamped below said clamping member being itself pulled out at the beginning of sewing a subsequent buttonhole;
• said clamped thread being in a specific position in relation to a sewing direction to achieve a sewing in of a thread end slipping by itself out of said clamping member and achieving thereby an oversewing.
