Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot
Do not turn the handwheel or press the needle up/
w
down button when the presser foot is in extra lifted
position. It may cause damage to the presser foot.
The presser foot lifter button, the presser foot lifter or the
knee 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 or knee lifter. This helps
you to place layers of thick fabric.

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.
