I am smacking myself in the forehead wishing I had thought of this earlier. My sewing machine has a pressure foot knee lifter. I rarely use it because it is to close to the center of the machine and I keep accidentally hitting it with the edge of my big padded sewing chair. I am currently doing turned edge machine applique with tiny pieces and lots of curves. I really needed my knee lift but had to move my chair way off center of the needle to avoid accidentally hitting it. Then I had a brain storm. Can I install my knee lift lever upside down so it is sticking up in the air where I can easily reach it, but it won't keep being hit accidentally by the edge of my chair? I tried it and it works

Hope this helps someone else.
