Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8900 Knee Lever Sewing Machine - 16cm

The primary benefit is hands-free operation of the presser foot, allowing you to use your knee to lift and lower it. This frees up your hands to better control and guide your fabric.

No, this specific knee lever is designed exclusively for the Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8900 sewing machine model.

The knee lever has an attached screw that allows you to adjust its position and angle to fit your personal knee placement and sewing style.

The knee lifter measures 16cm (approximately 6.3 inches) in width and 34cm (approximately 13.4 inches) in length.

For users accustomed to manual presser foot levers, there might be a short adjustment period. However, most users find it intuitive and a significant improvement for control and comfort.

It is particularly beneficial for free-motion quilting, appliqué, working with large fabric pieces, and any project where precise fabric handling and continuous sewing are required.

Ensure the lever is correctly attached and aligned with the machine's mechanism. Check that the adjustment screw is not too loose or too tight. Verify the presser foot is properly seated on the machine.

Clean the lever mechanism and any moving parts of accumulated lint or debris. Ensure the adjustment screw is not overtightened, which can restrict movement. Refer to the machine's manual for lubrication points if applicable.

Readjust the angle and position of the lever using the adjustment screw. Experiment with different settings until a comfortable and effective position is found for your specific posture.
