Question. In changing a needle on my PR650 I must have caught the design on the screen and it moved. Typically it was on the last colour (and it was a birthday present for one of the son in laws) Anyone else suffered this mishap and anyone idea on locking the design to stop it moving? Ah well there is a back up tee shirt so after a cuppa its here come another 16,000 stitches

on my brother800 and previous ones, if I knock the hoop, or something similar, I can turn the machine off, then restart, I get "resume previous pattern" and it goes back to the correct position...wendy

never read the answer below

It might depend upon the machine. I would load a design and then turn the machine off and back on to see if it's still there. I'm pretty sure when I turn my machine off, it all goes away. However, if I haven't adjusted the design when I first loaded it, it seems to always load in the exact same place each time.

Hmmm, I thought that when in the "Embroidery" mode, the design was locked on the screen and it could not be moved...when you brought the design in, if you didn't move it to adjust it, when you bring it in again, it should align...also, if you are in the middle of a stitch-out and you think the design has moved or you have bumped the hoop, if you turn off the machine, when you turn it back on the design will realign correctly and pick up in the stitching where you left off...If I am in process with a design and I'm not sure what I might have done, I turn the machine off and let it resume where it left off...

Thanks for your reply. I always thought that a design was locked. Next time I will turn the machine off and then back on so it returns to where it should be. Took the finished design to show my husband to here his comments and he said it looked fine sooo I didn't tell him what had happened

Good news he thought it was fine...as a second thought...whenever I move a design to position it in the hoop, I always write the X and Y coordinates down...that way if I need to reload the design for the same hooping, I can move it to the proper place...where it was when I began the stitch out...I learned this the hard way....
