It's the same with my wonderful Bernina 1230! When I first started using the machine, I would always forget to reset the stitch length and needle position when piecing.
What I finally did was place a strip of blue painter's tape across the knob of the machine whenever I finished sewing. That way, the next time I sat down, I would be reminded to reset the machine before starting to sew.
It took a ***long*** time, but eventually I learned to do this without the painter's tape reminder.
Only a few electronic machines remember your last setting when you turn off the machine. You are not alone!
