I use the foot pedal because I like to have my hands on the fabric. I've tried to use the knee lift but the old habits kick in from when I had that as the presser foot on an old machine. I wish I could get the hang of the knee lift as I was doing a lot of straight line quilting and turning and the knee lift would have been wonderful for that.
