The sales lady showed me by taking off the foot so you could see the pin in action. When she hit the gas, you could see this pin come up from below the throat plate with every stitch--up, down, up, down. It helps pull the sewn together layers through. Really eliminates the need for a walking foot. Quilters LOVE that feature. I can't believe that more manufactures haven't included it in their products.
