Alex is passing along tips from her process of learning straight line quilting. She demonstrates on her BERNINA Q20, but this applies to all machines. The ruler she is using is the Quilters Select 2" x 8" Machine Quilting Ruler with a deeper edge to guide the quilting. She shows how to line up your quilting for straight lines, how to start and stop for sharp points, and how to change directions.

Instead of totally re-threading it, just snip the current thread at the top by the spool, tie it and the new thread together, pull the existing thread from above the needle (not through the needle) and that will bring your new thread to the needle. Snip them apart and thread the needle with your new thread.
Of course this only works when changing threads, and not to initially thread the machine, but saves a lot of trying to figure out where the thread goes next when changing thread.
