I think these new machines should go back to where ever you were when you turned them off. You shouldn't have to reset them every time you turn them on. Do you hear me, sewing machine companies? If some company did that I would buy their machine. I have to stop and "try" to remember what my settings were all over again. My seam ripper and I are on very good terms most of the time. Apparently she doesn't like being kept in my sewing box because she makes things happen that make me get her out of the box. Naughty girl!
