oops...posted before I was finished (my flash of a finger!) I love my presser foot lifter w/my knee...great for doing appliques and you don't have to take your hand off your work to do circles...like the needle threader on it, espec love the thread cutter...like the drop bobbin...so easy to have it set in place..very easy to change out feet by a push of a button and they drop off...snap the new one on (and, they come w/many too)...oh, and the speed.....just to say a few things I like:)...whew, I need some water now:)LOL Skeat
