The Jem was designed as a small portable machine, so I can see why they wouldn't include the knee lever .... something else to take along, and would take away to the ease of mocing it around.
I solved the problem of hitting the gas when I meant the
knee lift--I have learned to sew with my left foot on the pedal
& right knee for lifting. I find the knee-left on my Bernina
an indispensable tool. especially in FMQ.
