Do You Use the Start/Stop Button?
My machine has a start/stop button that runs it rather than the foot pedal. I've never used it, as it seems to me that when I want to stop it would be easier to lift my foot than get my hand to the button. I sometimes have trouble with backstitching right where I want when my hands are busy managing the fabric at the needle. Today I was sewing long edges with a decorative stitch so lots of running at high speed for lengthy times. I got to wondering if it would be easier to use that button but then thought about needing to stop in just the right spot to turn corners. Does anyone use it? What are the advantages? How do you manage your project and the button?
