3.9 Knee Lifter / Free Hand
System
With the Knee Lifter, you can raise and lower the
presser foot without taking your hands away from your
sewing project.
If the presser foot is raised, you can also lower the
presser foot using the Knee Lifter.
Working with the Knee Lifter offers the following
advantages:
n When the presser foot is raised with the Knee
Lifter, the feed dog is lowered at the same time
and the thread tension is released, enabling you to
easily move or remove your sewing project.
n When the presser foot is lowered with the Knee
Lifter, the feed dog is raised and, if necessary, the
thread tension is activated, enabling you to simply
continue sewing.
