Thank you! I just love everyone here. So quick to give help. And it's great when some have the same machine and can point to exactly what I need to know. Somehow I was overlooking that section in my manual. :-/
145789Yes, find your back button, you can go back and forward infinitely until you find the correct place in your design. I have the 300E, and I do this all the time. I don't have a bobbin sensor, so I occasionally 'sew' a lot of the design without thread, hee hee hee. If you still have problems, let us know, a lot of us have that machine. It's a super machine, by the way!! Hugs, Marji

Thanks so much!! I can see that I'm going to love this back button. Now I'm watching like a hawk, to see when my bobbin is almost empty, but then I'll get a thread break or something... back up, back up. Hooray, learned something new today thanks to all of you! :-)
33451I see you already have some good answers and hope that your problem is solved now and your embridery is save. Just a flower for you

Yes, thanks to all you great people. Imagine! Even getting the page number in my user manual, to find that button. :-)
Flowers for all of you!!
58029With your back button and color search this should be an easy fix. Good thing it's still hooped. Good Luck!

Thank you! I'm working on a US Air Force emblem design & now that I know about that back button, things are going good!! :-)
462509If it's more than that one color back, you may be able to go back to the previous color and either go forward or backward with a button. Don't panic, you can save the design one way or the other! As long as it's still hooped.

Thanks so much for your encouragement! I've been "playing" with those back/forward buttons... neat that you can get right on target. :-)
35675You should be able to back the machine up to where the color change began or back up a specific number of stitches. Which machine do you have?

Thank you. I'm not familiar with all that this machine does, but I will go and see if it has that feature. I appreciate the help. I have a Janome 350E.

You are fantastic!!! It's great to have others with my machine & can even give me page numbers! Thanks so much! Things are going more smoothly now, tho' I've had to use that back button more than once on this design. (a couple of thread breaks)

You might have noticed that before beginning stitching, the same area is a toggle switch where you can move your design around the hoop. Also, if you haven't found it, there is a box right near the toggle that looks like a square; it's for running the design outline (with presser foot up) before stitching to be sure everything is where you want it. I often use that first, then toggle if off a bit. Just an FYI!

Thanks again! I have used the button for running the design outline, but not to move the design. I'll have to try it.
I haven't done many designs yet, but am loving what this machine does.
33574Does your machine have a backward button? If you left it in the frame you should be able to go back to where the thread ran out if it has that feature.

I did leave it in the hoop. Thank you for your help! I'll go examine the book and see if it has a backward button. Whew, that would be great....
