On the Pro Stitcher, when I start a new pattern, occasionally I miss catching the bobbin thread on the pull-up. What is the easiest way to "try again".

If you always make sure your bobbin thread tale is long enough before quilting, this will not happen. If it does happen, what I do is take my top thread and hold it with both hands right by the hopping foot. Push "resume" and when the machine takes its first "tie off" stitch, I quickly slide the top thread under the hopping foot. This will pull up the bottom thread for you. If you don't feel comfortable doing it this way, just push "resume" and before it does the tie off, push "pause". This will bring you back to the screen that has the "start quilt" button. Before you push this, be sure that your bobbin thread is long enough. No repositioning is necessary. It is still positioned and ready to quilt. Just push "start quilt".

I hope this will be helpful to you.
