Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot<br />
The presser foot automatically goes down when you<br />
begin sewing.<br />
However, you can raise and lower the presser foot with<br />
the presser foot lifter button, the presser foot lifter or the<br />
knee lifter.<br />

You can raise the presser foot about 6 mm (1/4”) higher<br />
than the normal up position by exerting more pressure<br />
when lifting the presser foot lifter or knee lifter.<br />
This helps you to place layers of thick fabrics or<br />
embroidery hoops under the foot.<br />
NOTE:<br />
The presser foot cannot be lowered with the presser foot<br />
lifter if the foot was raised with the presser foot lifter<br />
button.<br />
The knee lifter cannot be used in the embroidery mode.<br />
Knee lifter<br />
The knee lifter is extremely helpful when sewing<br />
patchwork, quilting etc., since it allows you to handle the<br />
fabric while your knee controls the presser foot.<br />
Attaching the knee lifter<br />
Match the ribs on the knee lifter with the notches in the<br />
knee lifter socket and insert the knee lifter.<br />

Using the knee lifter<br />
Push the knee lifter with your knee to move the presser<br />
foot up and down.<br />
The knee lifter controls zigzag width of the variable<br />
zigzag (refer to page 85).<br />
NOTE:<br />
Do not touch the knee lifter while stitching, otherwise the<br />
fabric will not be fed smoothly.
