Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot
The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser
foot.
1 Presser foot lifter
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 to place the layers of thick fabrics or embroidery
hoops under the foot.
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.
1 Knee lifter
2 Knee lifter socket
Adjusting the knee lifter
The angle of knee lifter can be adjusted to fit your
knee.
Loosen the setscrew and slide the angle bar in or out
to adjust the angle of the knee lifter.
Tighten the setscrew to secure the angle bar.
3 Setscrew
4 Angle bar
Using the knee lifter
Push the knee lifter with your knee to easily move the
presser foot up and down.
You can control how high the foot rises by the amount
of knee pressure you exert.
NOTE:
Do not touch the knee lifter while stitching, otherwise
the fabric will not be fed smoothly.
