Can you set your Babylock to start up on the stitch you want?
I use Q-03 (with some saved adjustments) for my standard piecing stitch. The machine starts up using Q-01 I believe. Can I set the machine to start up at the Q-03 stitch?
I know all I have to do is tap the little Q-03 button on the screen but every 1 out of 20 times or so, I forget to change over from Q-01 to Q-03 and I end up with a huge seam. And then the ripper has to come out.
Did you just save all your adjustments for a scant 1/4 inch to the Q-01 stitch and move on?

I have an Ellisimo Gold...
And I do the same thing... I forget to check the settings before taking off, sometimes.
I don't use the "Q" section... I just usually bounce around in that first screen and use 1-03. I use starter and ender / jumper scrap fabric... and I find I like using that stitch and being in control of reverse more than using that tie off setting... all of that said, though, I have to always look down and make sure I have the stitch length where I want it.
I'll be watching this thread... I'm guessing there is a setting to make a certain stitch your default.. but I've never messed around with figuring that out (because I do so many different things with mine... I guess)

Thanks Michelle. Unfortunately, those modes still don't allow you to start up at Q-03. It will allow you to decide if you want to start up on Q-01 or 1-01 or 1-03 but will not let you select any other stitch options. So, I am guessing that if I really want it to start up with the needle position, tension, etc. that I want for most piecing, I just need to edit one of these 3 options, save the changes, and then select that stitch as the start up option.
