I've just looked at the reviews for this machine, and am a bit confused. Let me preface by saying I have a White Jeans Machine, circa 1990. Straight mechanical, 5 or 6 utility stitches only. All metal construction -- my DD accidentally backed the car over it and it only got a few scratches.
What does it mean by "dual feed presser foot?" A walking foot?
What is an External dual feed adjuster?
What does a knee lift do? My MIL's ancient cabinet Pfaff had a knee control rather than a foot pedal and I hated it. But this isn't a cabinet model, so it can't be that.
What is a twin needle guard? I know about using twin needles on my White, but the guard part has me baffled.
