leaders and enders
Argh.....I did not understand about leaders and enders and never used them. I do now! This is the the first machine I have had that the thread quickly jammed without a leader. After fighting with my machine (cheap one) for about an hour, I am now using a LEADER....

I use an ender so it becomes my leader for my next bit of sewing. I stop when my ender is under the needle with the needle down and snip off the but of work I was sewing then its ready there under the needle for the next bit of sewing it then becomes my leader. Not sure I've made any sense lol

The only time I don't have a scrap of fabric in my Bernina is when I change thread color. I tired using the thread cutter on my friend's Janome 6600 and I just couldn't remember to do it before lifting the foot. This old dog will stay with my antique Bernina.

I used to use the same one and just cut it when I was done using it as a leader but then realized I could get two quilts done at once if I start sewing squares together for another quilt. It takes me longer to do one quilt but before I know it I have too quilts done.

yes, leave the ender in the machine and it is your leader for the next session. I used to use a piece of scrap and used it forever. Now I have squares pre cut and get twice as much sewing done and save thread.
