I was at another dealer this past week and was testing one of their Bernina machines, also with the knee lift. I complained that the cord to the foot pedal was not long enough to allow me comfortable access to the foot pedal with my left foot. They seemed surprised that I was using my left foot. Do any of you sew that way?
Absolutely!!! That's the way my Bernina dealer taught me. And the foot peddles on the new machines wind up at the bottom, so you need to unwind it to make it longer to place for the left foot.
