Here is how I changed the default needle position on my Brother.
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 plusminus.jpg (stitch selection key).
The initial needle position changes to the center needle position.
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.
