Also move the dang needle closer to the front of the machine so we can see it and be able to change the needle without having to become a contortionist.
I intensely dislike this about my Brother 450Q. Never had this problem with any of my Singers so I don't know why Brother and other makers decided they needed to realign the needle position. Maybe they think the automatic threader takes care of it, but not for me.
