We had a conversation on another thread (see below) about changing the default needle position from left to center position so that when you turn it on, it will be in the center position. (or right position).

Look in your manual, under 'change the machine settings', if it is possible to change it on your machine, it will tell you how to do so. If it is still not clear to you, call 1-(877)276-8437, which is the customer support number. It may take some time to get through, but be patient, they are great at walking you through this kind of thing, I have brain damage, and they never get upset with my limitations.
BTW- I just realized that my machine is capable of sewing SIDEWAYS! I gotta go play with it now. :D
