Genie,
Use the 'Step back in Design' button on the keypad....it's the curved arrow
right above the green start button...or is this the same one you are using?

Thanks!
Okay, my first newbee question:
The thread breaks, I fix, How do I back up a few stitches that were
missed when the thread broke? (I've tried pushing the arrow, circle back
button on the key pad, thinking that might be it, but that throws off the
pattern). Anyone? Anyone?
Thanks,
