Your quilting looks super except for that problem. I do that, too, and it's maddening! Maybe get a bright colored sticky note and put it on the front of the machine whenever you lift the foot, or hang a looped ribbon over the lifter and wrap it out to the front of the needle where you can't miss it and would have to move it in order to sew.
Congrats on the thrift shop score.
