And what is that top lever for above the lever for the foot?
I only have the older manual that I found online.
This lever is called the"high lift for sewing extremely heavy goods or to sew over heavy seams."
What is the "older manual"?
Interested in a copy of my original one...remember mine is a 1914 model.
