PRESSER FOOT LIFTER
There are three positions for your presser foot.
1. Lower the presser foot to sew.
2. Raise the lifter to the middle position to insert or remove fabric.
3. Lift it to its highest position to change the presser foot or to

monogramming so that you, not the feed dogs, are moving the
fabric.
