That's a neat idea, moving to bobbin position, as long as you remember you did it when you come back! I remember taking my Janome to a quilting class, and it was DEAD, I could not get the screen to come up after restarting several times. I accidentally found out I had moved the light adjustment dial for the screen, so it was too dark to see. The button for it was up where I put thread in. So I accidentally turned it off, and then accidentally (farting around with it "forever" panicking that I wouldn't have a machine to use for class") turned it back on.
It was a wheel adjustment right by the spindle.
