If this is not true, someone tell us different.

Most machines, maybe all, will stop at the needle up position every time. Some have a button (and this one has it) that when you hold it down for a couple of seconds, the needle will stop in the down position every time you stop. This a a great feature when quilting. My old Bernina always stops with the needle up and if I want it down I have to do it manually. I still love my oldie anyway.
On my machine I have to push the needle down button every time I stop sewing. Does anyone else have to do this?[/quote]

yes I have to manually and I have the elna. Penny.D
