If the Phaff is like the Vikings (make by same company now) this won't be necessary. When you tell Viking to start it lowers what it needs and you don't have to worry about that. That was one of the features missing from the Brother machine that I took a class with. You had to lower the presser foot in order to start. This might seem like a small thing but it saves time and frustration.
