One more reason to love! the BERNINA 780

I’ve not been shy about telling you all how much I love the B 780.

So I’m stitching the other day using the 46C foot (adding that cording to the quilt I posted here)  and needed to move the needle over to the right. Usually you hear the needle moving over. Nothing.
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Confused look on my face.
I try pressing the button again to move the needle.
Nothing!
Is something wrong with my machine?
Thinking.
Thinking.
And then the lights came on:

I have the straight stitch plate on the machine. No big deal right? Except I told the machine that I had the straight stitch plate ON the machine. So when I went to move my needle over the machine did exactly what it was supposed to do…prevent me the machine from moving the needle over. Which then prevented another issue: breaking a needle. Breaking a needle oh the horror and agony and pain!

Oh dearie me one more reason to love the B 780.
Sigh.

Happy Quilting!
