Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot
The presser foot lifter button or the presser foot lifter
raises and lowers the presser foot.
You can raise the presser foot about 6 mm (1/4˝) higher
than the normal up position by exerting more pressure
when lifting the presser foot lifter. This helps you when
replacing the embroidery hoop with thick fabrics.

The presser foot cannot be lowered with the presser
