The knee-lift raises the presser foot high enough to get the wool jacket and patch moved around to sew. I have looked on the web to find a machine for myself, haven't found just what I want. I know we don't charge as much as some, but the student has over $100 in a jacket and our bill is $40-$45 for all the patches plus embroidering their name. We open a side seam all the way into the sleeve a little. Not too far, you have to sew it up again. My friend get dozens of these to do, I get maybe 4. I have her sew mine, she has me embroider hers.
