No 3 of the Sewing Machine Jargon Buster

A Knee Lifter

This feature is found on some electric sewing machines, particularly the Elna and Bernina brands. A knee lifter is a lever that can be pressed with your knee and this allows you to lift the presser foot without taking your hands off your work.

It enables you to move the fabric freely for embroidery, sewing around corners and quilting. It's ideal for large projects and gives you an extra hand for those fiddly projects.
