The machine can be set so that the straight stitch center needle position is automatically selected when it is turned on.
1. Turn off the sewing machine.
2. Hold down the “+” side of (stitch selection key) on the left and turn on the sewing machine.
After turning on the sewing machine, release the “+” side of (stitch selection key).
NOTE: the specified initial needle position is maintained even after the machine is turned off.
NOTE: Perform the same operation to change the initial needle position to the left needle position.
I love my SQ9000 and would recommend it.

I was just going to mention this. I got the 9000. I sat and read through the manual and then set the machine up and walked through the machine with the manual. I didn't hook up the pedal, because I wanted to try the on and off button. I really like it.
Now granted, the machine is almost all plastic, which most are these days and it did seem a bit flimsier than my older Baby Lock, but it sews really well. I love the slow stitching. I've also played with the Monogram stitch and did a 'Hello' on a double piece of fabric. I did the leaves deco stitch on a single piece of fabric.
It has a 1/4 inch foot as well as a stitch for 1/4 inch that is used with another foot. It has a walking foot and a stitching guide to attach to it. It also has other feet that go along with various stitches on the machine.
Right now I'm testing it out and doing the BIG :mrgreen:
So far, I like it.
