I read all the posts since this one, and no one else has answered it. A knee lift is a piece of very heavy wire that connects to your machine on the right side, then leads down to where your knee is when you sit at your machine. When you have both hands holding a very difficult maneuver that you don't want to let go of to get it under the needle, you use your knee to push on the knee lift. The presser foot lifts up and you can get your project under the foot without letting go of anything. Release pressure on the knee lift, and the presser foot lowers itself right to where you want it. It's like having a third hand.
