That way both feed dogs are feeding the fabric and you don't have to fight the machine to keep it feeding straight. It feels a little weird at first but it works.

that’s what I do when piecing with my Kenmore or the Brother VX- But I still prefer my Brother PC420, White (both have moveable needle positions) or my Brother PQ1500s (straight stitch only) for piecing.
