It took me some time to learn to use the knee lift on my Bernina. I kept trying to use it for sewing. I think I once had a sewing machine that had a lever on the side and you used your knee against it to make the machine sew. Once I finally got over that, I loved the knee lift. It is great for doing machine appliqué and I use the knee lift when I am stitching in the ditch. I use my right leg and right foot. That works for me.

The machine I learned to sew on was a Singer with the knee on/off. I tried using it on my Bernina but I guess It was too ingrained on me as a start other than a presser foot lifter. I may have to try again someday.

I'm probably the only one who will say they can't stand it!! For me, it is a coordinating mess.....I cannot coordinate my brain with doing that with my knee. I tried it on my Bernina several times and each time found myself doing the lifting by hand. I just don't have the patience to get used to it, I guess. Mine is hanging in the closet.
