What machine (NOT Bernina) has knee lift?
Yes, I have VSM hoarding disorder. I intend to get treatment. Next week.
I am intrigued by the idea of having a knee lifter for the presser foot, and a needle up/down. But, after being WAY outbid on two vintage Berninas, I am wondering if there are other good, vintage machines with those features? Something I could conceivably get without paying an arm and a leg. I have a lovely looking Viking coming, did any good vintage vikings come with knee lift? I could see myself getting into the viking mystique (I love rotary machines, after all) but have given up on the Bernina cult. ;-)

I don't know that much about other machines with presser foot knee lifts, but having had 2 recent Berninas and one older one, I can tell you that they for the price they do for a reason. They really last.

What is a "semi-industrial"?? I thought those Juki machines were marketed to quilters.
