Default Needle Unthreading Problem After Automatic Thread Cuts-Figured It Out!!

Although I love the automatic thread cutting feature on my machine (Juki TL2010Q), it leaves a very short thread 'tail', and I was getting REALLY frustrated with my needle coming unthreaded before sewing the next piece and constantly having to re-thread the needle. FINALLY I figured out that if I inserted the fabric of the next piece further under the presser foot so that the VERY FIRST down-thrust of the needle goes through the fabric (rather than just going down into 'thin air' the first stitch), it seems to catch almost always and no more constant re-threading the needle. Duh....... Maybe I am the only slow learner here, but just in case you are having the same issue, this tip may be helpful to you!
