Note: With any of the 1/4 inch Right Guide feet for IDT™ system attached to machines with
manual presser foot lift we recommend not to lift the presser foot to the extra high position.
This can cause the needle holder to touch the guide on the presser feet.
With the needle set to down position we recommend just to lift the presser foot as much as
needed for pivoting so that the fabric can be turned freely.
