Thanks for the advice but I do have the cord extended as far as it will go. I did loop it around behind the machine today and it seemed to be less in my way. If it was a regular plug instead of that compter like connection I could just use an extension cord.

I have a bernina 930 - I bought a used knee lift lever - the "thing" bends waaaaaay too far to the left and crowds my right leg. I like the idea of using it - but when that lever is installed, I am miserable. Any fixes?

You really will love the knee lift after you practice with it. At first, I didn't use mine and my second lesson the dealer kept reminding me about it and I became one with the knee lift Now I could not live without it!

I have the Bernina vintage 830 and I was taught to use my left foot on the pedal and right knee. I am using a Pfaff 2140 now and still use the left foot for the pedal, but the darn knee lift lever keeps falling out of the hole that it goes in. Has anyone else had this problem?

With my Bernina I use left foot, and right knee. I do like my knee lift and find that when I sew at guild with my small Janome I am constantly trying to find my knee lift when there isn't one there.
