The needle and foot are still at the front. You still control the speed with the pedal it's just turned differently. You now have all the room you need to move your fabric from left to right or right to left. The one thing that took me awhile to get used to was reaching for the foot lift lever and reaching to the back to turn the wheel to move the needle. Sounds crazy, but it works.

Thank so much, this is an awesome tip! I just tried and it worked out fine. Wohoooo!

For Jan, Welcome from western Europe.
