You can backstitch the start and end of your seams if you wish. Alternatively, you can use the Fix button at the beginning and end. The fix stitches back and forth in place 4-5 times and will secure your stitches. The machine defaults to doing a fix at the beginning. When you stop at the end of your seam, you can touch the fix button and stitch again until it fixes your stitches.
Does the thread load matter? I realized that the only way to have my thread match the picture provided, was to set it upside down, and put the cap over it. Is it OK to install it this way?
Brian, I'm so sorry - I just saw your question. The way you load your thread depends on how the thread is wound. If it is a straight wound spool, you stand it up. If it is cross wound, you load it sideways. I don't use spool caps. I have more trouble with the thread winding up behind them, and have never needed them. You might need to use one on a straight wound spool. Our thread is all cross wound, so I haven't tried a straight wound spool.
Around the 6:20 mark you recommend getting a little plastic tool. What is the name of that tool?
Thanks for these incredible, informative videos!
For the jade 35, do you backstitch the start and end of your seams? Or just snip button at the end?

We are trying to import a design we made it needs to be in vp3 format but shows on the computer it is vp4 how do we override this and get it in vp3?
Are you using the software? If so, go to file…export, and choose .vp3.
