Knee Lifter
The knee lifter is extremely helpful when sewing
patchwork, quilting etc, since it allows you to handle the
fabric while your knee controls the presser foot.
Attaching the knee lifter
Match the ribs on the knee lifter with the notches in the
knee lifter socket and insert the knee lifter.

Extra lifted position
You can raise the presser foot about 7 mm (1/4˝) higher
than the normal up position by exerting more pressure
when lifting the presser foot lifter or knee lifter.
This allows for changing the needle plate, and also helps
you to place layers of thick fabrics.
NOTE:
The presser foot cannot be lowered with the presser
foot lifter if the foot was raised with the presser foot
lifter button.
NOTE:
Do not turn the handwheel or press the up/down
needle button when the presser foot is in the extra
lifted position.
