Raising And Lowering The Presser Foot; Attaching The Knee Lifter - Janome Sewing Machine Instruction Book

Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot

The presser foot 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. This allows
for easy removal of the presser foot and helps you to
1
place thick fabrics under it.

Lower the foot then restart the machine.

Attaching the Knee Lifter

The Knee Lifter is extremely helpful when sewing
applique, patchwork and quilting since it allows you to
3
handle the fabric while your knee controls the presser
2
foot.
Match the ribs on the knee lifter with the notches in the
knee lifter socket and insert the knee lifter.

NOTE:
