I've discovered a fix of sorts for my presser foot dilemma.
I have to first press the presser foot button to lower the presser foot and then I can raise it with the presser foot lever. It's a bit of a faff but I can live with that.
Tried using the knee lifter today. It's too weird
Getting the needle plate off. Yep, the A150 had the same quirk. It didn't need a screwdriver too though.
I've discovered it's missing the supplied needle set. No big loss. I've plenty here.
I really need to crack on with sanding that filler down and painting over it. I'd rather be sewing though
