The saker told me to always lift the needle to retread. I Also bought a separate thread holder that fits behind the machine. The thread seems to flow easier.
I think you mean "raise the embroidery foot". You must raise the foot so the tension disks can open to accept the new threading...then you let the foot back down and push "GO" again. But always remember to raise the foot before removing thread and rethreading. And never forget to put the foot down before restarting. I've done that several times---you can raise a whole family of rats in the nest of thread under your project. And it might be a good idea to have a thin blade nearby, cuz you will then have to cut the threads under the hoop to remove your project. Just sayin.
