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 place thick fabric under the foot.
