Not looking to jack this thread but what does "run 1 needle size down" mean?

It generally means to use 1 size down from the nominal needle size.  For example, a 441 clone sewing a size 138 thread would normally use a 160/23 needle.  But on a 1341 clone, it would sew better with a 140/22 needle.

Make sure that when you go into reverse that the needle is down, this is commonly done with ornamental stitching to ensure that the stitches appear the same front to back.
