(1) Based on what you have shown me Im guessing that isnt necessary?? (2) It looks like you started on scrap piece then just ran onto and down your seam then off onto another scrap piece? Did you reverse stitch at all on your working piece? Is that somthing just isnt necessary or am I just doing it wrong or maybe I have my terminology confused? The information I was working with said that each seam had to be "locked" at each end of the seam on the work piece so that it wouldnt just unravel and all pull out if the seam got pulled or something like that.
The issue I am having occurs whenever I do the reverse stitch thing and it doesnt matter where I put the take up lever before I try to remove the work because the knot from the extra bobbin loop is already knotted up under there. If it isnt necessary to reverse and lock the seam stitch my problem would be solved.
