How I miss my knee lift! And my friend who gave me the machine never used it.
The other thing is the bobbin sensor. It never was that big a deal before, but now that I'm used to the sensor I run out of bobbin thread all the time, usually I don't figure it out until at least a foot or two of sewing has gone on that didn't go on...
I only have one machine with a knee lift and I don''t use that machine that often to really know if I would use it a lot. What I do miss on my Juki is the sensor, Like you Iceblossom, The running out of bobbin and sewing for a couple feet just happened to me about 10 minutes ago. I suppose I should have been watching closer I suppose.
